Don't think we'd see much of a problem with Arsenal getting £5m for this. Its hardly going to dramatically enhance their transfer options is it?

Yeah, at this point I couldn't give a shit less about them getting a few million. It'll just go into the Arse bank vault never to be seen again or squandered on some unknown French kid.

That extra 5M for Arsenal might go on an even bigger jacket for the voyeur.

SkyBet have changed his odds to Chelsea to 1/100. United out to 18s.

Genuine question - do odds mean anything?

Genuine question - do odds mean anything?

Generally, not massively. As I said a few days ago when United odds dropped dramatically. A big change normally happens when someone places on a huge bet on something (perhaps based on inside information, perhaps based on rumour) and the bookies change their odds to avoid loosing a lot of money. The bookies haven't particularly got inside information themselves, though SkyBet must be based on Skys 50/50 credible sources.

As someone else said yesterday, odds were suspended on Harry Redknapp getting the Chelsea job in 2011 before AVB. So clearly, often wrong.

BUT, 1/4 to 1/100 in the space of a few hours is oddly dramatic.

Odds of 1.01 means it is no longer just dictated by a big bet now and then.

It has to be insider information.

Odds are simply too low for market bets to be a factor anymore.

Its happening.

So is the odds thing good or bad news?

So is the odds thing good or bad news?

Its good, if true. Means you only get one pound back for every £100 bet. Where as £18 back for every £1 bet on United...

Must stress though, this is nothing concrete. Dont get carried away. If it was 'happening', theyd have suspended betting.

isnt 1.01 pretty much doing that itself? Obviously not set in stone, but its as closed to suspended as possible.

Yes, there's absolutely no point in them suspending it until it's done. With people like Tancredi making bullshit rumours they're rolling in it through lucrative odds on other teams that he's linked to.

Looks legit. If not, one helluva a photoshop.

Not an expert on this stuff but that looks like the real deal to me. Very good job by someone if it's fake.

someone mentioned its legit due to some tattoo on his arm, which i cant see :S

[Pizy 18,368]

Is he in an interrogation room there?

Looks like a convincing fake to me.

you are right that looks really good if fake

[Sovieticus 743]

It's either real or this was an insane piece of work at photoshop.

People are getting very, very desperate now.
