Kane 7/1 with his recent record....

Mad odds so don't use for FF purposes!

1, the Bookies set odds as per bets placed and their exposure... not the probability of an event happening.

2, has anyone actually watched Spurs this season?

[blahblah]

Portugal are woeful.....

Has anyone thought that Ron could stink OT out like other Citeh "targets"? Does Ron try to play the piano?

He scored twice in the last minute to turn a 0-1 to a 2-1...

Yep, and that was posted when 0-1

It could still happen though?

[forestfan]

He’s not “any old player” though, he’s a force of nature… Tom Brady is the only parallel I can think of in team sports, and his late career move hasn’t worked out too badly.

There’s a chance he could be rotated a bit more than he’s accustomed to, though, particularly if they’re fighting on multiple fronts, so maybe some risk to banking on him being a reliable fantasy points machine.

And cricket fans might notice he’s now on “Nelson” in terms of international goals… beware an upcoming injury!

[Stu255]

He’s missed 14 games in all competitions including internationals over the last 3 seasons.

I think he will want to play every game, he doesn’t want to retire because he’s still crushing it.

missed a penno too, Bruno back on pens at OT ?

[hancockjr]

Quick look at pen records and Ronaldo is good (139 scored, 28 missed = 85% success) Bruno's is very very good (missed 3 of 44 - 93% success rate).

Suspect Ron will have them anyway.

[hancockjr]

Kane 7/1 with his recent record....

If anyone thinks the odds are mad, bet on them (unless they are heavily over-rounded)!

Or.....

Bruno can't play with Pog. Bruno can't play with Ron. Bruno gets dropped quicker than dropped thing.....

Quicker than the CR7 trademark at OT
All about Cav7 now

[raoul]

Vardy at 35 to 1?

Value!

[forestfan]

“Pog” and “Cav” threw me for a moment given the amount of time I’ve spent on the cycling threads recently… I’ll resist the pun about which of them will soon be on their bike

EPL Golden Boot Odds

Everyone is getting excited about CR7 but those odds suggest that Lukaku is the must have premium striker long term (particularly from GW7). He's almost twice as likely as CR7 and Kane to win the golden boot.

[johnF]

As an aside, can anyone on here explain why betting odds are often expressed as weird fractions such as 10/3 and 31/5 as in the example above.

Surely it would be so much easier to understand and compare if all odds were simply expressed as "something" to 1? i.e. 3.3/1 and 6.2/1 in these examples.

[forestfan]

Guess it’s just tradition, the American system is very different for example. A bit like how maths teachers hated the idea of combining decimals and fractions in the same formula!

lsd young man - we didn't always have percentages and decimal points

Tradition. Decimal odds are becoming more commonplace and you can usually choose between the two systems on betting sites.

[forestfan]

Yeah, you used to only see (whole number)/1 in the case of long odds, and then things like 7/2, 9/2… 100/30 was the strange one (why the trailing zeros?) And obviously closer numbers as you got towards evens.

Betting markets have reduced the need for rounding, and for the “traditional” multiples, which I guess old-style course bookies had their signals for etc.

[murf]

Plus you can't write 7/2 easily as three and a half to one (3&1/2/1?)

I always wondered why not 10/3??.......

7/2 could just be written as 3.5/1

That's basically decimal odds (though decimal would be 4.5, not 3.5). Traditional bookmakers never mixed decimals in, maybe to avoid confusion as to whether it was 3.5/1 or 35/1?

[hancockjr]

Does anyone know if Ronaldo's ban from the next Portugal game means he can now train with Man U from now, ahead of their game with Newcastle? If so he's presumably far more likely to start?

Do they not have three games this window?

I assumed one was a friendly.

And we didn't vote Brexit for all this decimal rubbish....

No, I mean when is the un-decimalisation of money scheduled for? Not that it really matters what you split £1 into these days, it’s just shrapnel in any case. Maybe a revaluation is needed for maximum effect…

It is. But he should be free to train with United after that, unless he chooses (or is made) to stay with his national team until the third game is done.
