When a goal's scored the o/u 0.5 market suspends and the rest go back in-play, as you'd expect. But when the goal is ruled offside, often the 0.5 market goes in-play and the rest are suspended, including match odds! The suspend monkey must be pressing a toggle button!

"Raw form data" where is this obtained from? Is this just your typical stats site like soccerstats etc?

Also, I found this an interesting read a while back, doesn't really give anything away but interesting nevertheless

Really enjoyed this article, thank you!
Especially the part about how a bookmaker would rather spend £1 on advertising than on wages and that his goal is to beat 98% of players. And about mathematical models, of course :)

No idea why Celtic are favourites away to Shakhtar? I know it's a neutral venue, but Shakhtar are a much better side than Celtic.

It's not really the same team anymore, they lost a lot of important players because of the war. They did shock RB Leipzig away last week with a 4-1 win but they had less xG so it was probably one of those freaky results.

Yeah fair point but I still wouldn't have Celtic as favourites.

Haaland is really pretty damn good. He's like a sabre.

The Fiorentina keeper doing keepy-uppy outside his area and getting robbed to go 0-2 behind is the highlight of the evening.

BLV just working for 5 minutes at a time before stalling.

Edit: now it's down to just 30 seconds!

First minute goals really ruin my fun... hadn't even made it to the pub to watch the game before my bet had lost!

Really thought Wolves could hold out long enough to make a bit of profit.

A Costa Rican match scheduled for 3:00 this morning has been postponed until 23:00 tomorrow and is no longer set to go in-play. According to Bumfair's rules, my lay bet should be voided but my closing bet should count, leaving me with a bet on the unders. The big question now is, will Bumfair void the bet before the start of the match or at midnight tonight or will they wait to see if under 2.5 goals are scored and then void?
