Snowball Still computes

Bookies offer only 33/20 against West Ham finishing in the top 2

Yet you can get 12-1 against Leicester making the POs

The bookies usually know.


My goal post motion detector just went off...

You think the odds of West Ham needing to make up 3 points on Southampton in 3 games is somehow comparable with Leicester making up 6 on Cardiff in 3 games (and out-pointing Boro and Brighton?)

Yeah, Ok.

What are West Ham's odds of being champions?

Maguire The bookies odds reflect the book, not the probability of an event occurring.

But like I said, it was a quip, so please stop trying to bore us all into an early grave

If you don't want to read his stuff then don't. Personally I find it 1000 times more interesting than most posts on here.

He replied directly to me, of course I read it.

So long as he's spamming the shit out of this entire board with his made-up "statistics" and incorrect mathematics, netiher he nor you can get upset if smarter people point out his errors.

WHU's chances of being champions are not the same as "catching Reading" since they
would also have to catch Saints.

You can get 50-1, which is, IMO a FABULOUS bet. Not a winning bet, but a value bet.

WHU could very easily win their last 3 and enhance their GD. It is likely RFC will get 4+ points but 50-1 to say the won't is stunning odds.

Saints, esp if WHU win well at Bristol, might well crumble.

FiNeRaIn Saints are out of reach, they keep getting lucky breaks and are a one man unit, unless lambert gets injured they will win it.

I hope someone bumps this to prove me wrong if it happens...but im dreading it tbh.

Happy to oblidge!

Not to worry, it's the typical Reading fan's fear every season - no matter what.

Now you can have a horrible feeling about next season... (but enjoy yourself for now!)

2 world wars, 1 world cup
[more probable mode]

Actually West Ham will be doing too little too late and will slip up somewhere again
OR
Saints who are on a run of poor form will continue to implode.

Meanwhile we'll carry n demolishing teams and will end up auto pro before the end of the season, possibly even winning the title

[/more probable mode]


I'll have to admit, although this all happened I didn't actually believe it would.

U RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
