nick goff's blog this morning talking about coral/leicester losses and why

https://gemsandrhinestones.com/

Contains this excellent two-liner......


This was summed up superbly by Martin Johnstone, who owns JEM Racing on the south coast, who said “there has never been a sporting event that has produced so many experts in bookmakers’ liabilities.”

Leicester have led for months and the price has just got shorter and shorter for months on end.  Amazes me people think bookies will have won on this market.  I am surprised the firms haven't lost more than they are claiming.  I know loads of pros who have got stuck into Leics odds on in the last few weeks for massive amounts of money as people 'give it away' greening up their huge prices they obtained earlier in the season and force the Leicester price higher than it should have been.  In turn the firms being a slave to the machine match this price which is 'wrong' and keep laying over the odds on an outcome that is already a massive loser for them from casual bets now the big pros get stuck in to hoover up the value.

Arb - sent you a PM yesterday about settlement terms which I can't remember.  Take a look when you get the chance.

Cheers

This conversation came up this morning at work

It is obviously hard to explain to a Leicester supporter that even those who won at 5000/1 didn't really have a good bet as it should have been 25000/1

I tried to explain, obviously didn't work as he still had a pound with HopkinBet
