Gerrard just signed a new contract with Rangers till 2024 as well, probably just a coincidence

Dreadful first half.

Oh bloody hell!
What a pearler, to be disallowed.

Any idea why CFR Cluj is priced at 1.6 and Astra is at 6.4 (Romanian Liga 1 for tomorrow's match, while Astra is in the top position in the table, with Cluj second?

Betfair haven't yet opened Liverpool vs Leicester so 3rd vs 2nd will have to do...

I dont think its anything out of the ordinary.... it's just the probability, Leicester are playing well & I'm sure.a hint of that will be reflected in the price but it cant be priced on that event in isolation. That's my theory... be interesting to know why in some more factual depth from the more knowledgeable.

Not more knowledgeable than you, but always willing to throw an opinion into the mix.

My starting point is the predictor spready to compare specific Home and Away records = potential outcome. It also indicates goals in the game, which can convert to a correct score prediction or various trade opportunities.

Using the same spready, I can produce a total team score by inputting the individual team's Home/Away data and dividing by 2

This converts to;

Leicester; 347
Man City; 290

So this confirms that both teams's rating are similar to the current form rating.

Conclusion;

Looks set for a good game that could be a trading nightmare as it swings to and fro with VAR ready to play it's part too.

Occasionally, someone alerts you to something that makes your jaw drop.
And thats one of those. Utterly shameful by Serie A. What a terrible indictment of Italian football.

Its seems too ridiculous to be true - but if it is then there is a much, much bigger problem than just Italian soccer fans. When you consider all the steps this would have to had to have undergone - from initial idea, committee agreement, artwork commissioning, printing, slogan creation, font choices to publication and for the obvious objections either not to have been raised or if they were to have been ignored or overruled.

I must admit, I thought it was some sort of fake news. But it appears to be true: -

Shakespeare chose to set Othello amongst Italians - they don't seem to have come far since then.

That used to be a good game back in the late 70's...

The Serie A version didn't really take off - both players used white counters.

Anyone see that goal coming?
