W6er Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 This will be a nail biter, with so much at stake. Hamilton are no mugs, their performance against Celtic was impressive, especially given that they played much of the game with then men.

The bookies odds follow the money placed by punters. The bookies have short odds on Saints beating Hamilton not because they think Sants will win but because that is what punters have bet on. If everyone bet on Hamilton those odds would shorten immediately and Hamilton would be "favourites". If someone wants to correct me I'm all ears. I'm not a gambling person. Hello, just remembered, here's how it works...............factors to consider. Certainly NOT what you are trying to say above. Still waiting on that apology? The first step for any bookmaker in setting their odds for a given event is trying to determine the true probability or odds of any given outcome occurring. What we mean by outcome, in this case, is any possible result that they may have to pay out on (e.g. a home win, a draw or an away win in the case of a football match). Factors to consider: In order to determine these true odds, bookmakers will look at factors such as prior form, statistics, historical precedents, expert opinion and any number of other such factors that could impact the event in question. Following this research and analysis, the bookmaker will be left with what they deem to be the most accurate possible true odds of any outcome occurring.

Dirty Sanchez Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Odds shorten and lengthen to maintain the bookies' edge. i.e. the bookie tries to engineer a situation where he'll win no matter what the outcome of the event is.

Yep. Oaksoft was on the right lines in terms of bookmakers response to a run of money being placed on the subject of the bet. F Man is right on the essentials involved in calculating the odds in the first place. In both scenarios the bookies build in their margin. Both have been covered earlier.

And what had been covered earlier. In addition, Oaks is right that when a pile of money goes on then the odds can / will be adjusted. Reasons. 1. There might be a change they feel unaware of 2. To maintain their edge. They may also lay off the bets with others to spread the risk and reflect an increase in the margin to reflect this. By the way, I don't bet but do have friends who owned bookies and a professional gambler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Banjos Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Brian Easton, who's slow as a week in the jail, is back in the Accies defence after injury.Looks like the tactic is going to be to run at him rather than let him enjoy the physical battle with Obika.Chabbi though?
