We're 5/1 to win today?

in General Charlton
I know we've only won four games, but Bournemouth have already lost four times this season. They've also only won 2 of their 5 home games. Meanwhile Blackpool, who are also playing away today, are quite a bit shorter than us at most firms.

How the hell are the bookies working this out? I'll probably look a chump when we end up losing 2-0 but at 5/1 I'll have to have a little bit on.

    Hm not as good as I hoped after reading 5/1 which definitely does look good value!

    I honestly though the prices in the Post were a misprint. I know bookies are rarely wrong but on earth have they based those odds on ?!

    bookies being rarely wrong is a bit of a myth. that bookies setting the odds so that they don't lose money overall is true, but that is something different. putting us at 5/1 might be a deliberate attempt to get people to bet, but it will based upon past betting patterns and odds elsewhere which will counter any loses if we were to win. so long as there is a profit in the end, they have no particular interest in which team gets which odd.

    Bookies don't normally get it wrong, and they certainly didn't get it wrong today.
