Gambling odds are not prediction models. They represent where bets are being placed and thus the feelings of bettors and the machinations of oddsmakers. They are not intended to serve as prediction modes, but are intended to encourage betting and to balance the gambling company's risk profile in the way they prefer.

Not really...in a highly liquid market like relegation, betting odds behave like prediction markets with house margin.

The odds are set using models and then people try to exploit any differences resulting in an equilibrium similar to a prediction market.

With a market like relegation odds it's very competitive and so it should be quite reflective of the actual chances (plus the bookmakers cut).
 
Now that we are properly in a relegation dogfight I'm actually excited for this game.

Probably the first game I've been anticipating since the EL final.

Football is so dull generally these days it barely stirs me. At least the stakes feel high now.
 
Win today and hopefully we'll build a bit of confidence, push on and pick up a few more results, particularly if some of the injured lads come back.

Lose and I think that we might actually go down. It is beyond belief that we're in this position and so many heads need to roll regardless of whether we stay up. From the spineless cowards/traitors in the squad, the village idiot that is Johan Lange and Venkatesham, the Trojan horse who I am convinced is still on Woolwich's payroll.
 
Atleast these games are upon us now - that run from City onwards was just a waste of time - it was obvious we would lose the majority and it was all about the position we were in post that.

Beat Forest and Palace and this all goes away - fail to beat either and with the best will in the world, we’re down - anything inbetween probably takes this to the final day.
 
I think we’re going to need 10 points. I cannot see us getting more than 1 point away - Anfield and the Bridge are write offs for obvious reasons. Villa are miles better than us - although in poor form. Wolves are our bogey side and have improbably found some form. Sunderland have lost twice at home all season. 1 point max.

Leaves us needing to win 3 home games out of Palace, Forest, Brighton, Leeds, Everton. We’ve won 2 home games all season so far.

The squeakiest of bums time

Forest have Fulham and then us.

By GW32 we could comfortably be in 18th.

Fuck this club.

Or we could be 4 points clear when we play them and then we fuck Marinakis back for treating MGW like a possession that he owns and win the game, leaving them 7 points back and all but relegated.

People talk about the players being pussies but the online fanbase is the biggest bunch of crywankers in football atm.
 
We are going down. Been saying it for weeks/ months.
I don't even think we make it to the last game with a chance of staying up.
Relegated at Stamford Bridge.
The football gods will be as cruel as possible , they always are to us.
 
Just seen the Newcastle winner last night.
Wonder what the xG was for that goal?

This type of goal is what we lack. We just don’t have enough players who can carry the ball and finish. Our shooting is fucking awful.

Those goals are the difference at this level.

No backbone. Lack of corporal punishment has raised weak generations.

Being regularly hit with a belt and Encona hot pepper sauce being used as a torture device helped make me the man I am today!

Pain is just temporary!! Bring it on!!

Maddison and Deki ironically.

Porro has one a season.

Xavi scored crazy goals in Germany.

That said we HAVE had a few worldies this season, Richie, Solanke.

Thats 100% on coaching,

Too many coaches, Frank being the perfect example, take xG too literally and think that low xG shots shouldn’t be taken. They’re morons who need better analytics advisors around then,

There’s plenty of players in our squad with a track record for hammering in shitpingers from all kinds of range.

I’m hoping Tudor is more no nonsense and will tell them to have a bit of character…go and fucking score some goals you cunts

If the fans in the stadium tonight are anything like reading this place or the musings of our Spurs twitterati, then we really might be fucked.

Fortunately, they won’t be. They do need the players to pay it back with a performance though

Odds are against us as we haven’t won in ages and haven’t looked like winning, but if we lose, I think momentum of other clubs that are fighting to stay up, and our lack of fight, means the writing is on the wall.

You get what you deserve at the end of the day, especially over 38 games.

If we go down, i can move on from this sorry business excuse of a football team.

I want to hear 15 mins non stop igor tudors blue n white army to start the game off.

The wall of noise needs to do its job.

Hopefully youngsters - teens and twenties- are able to pick up tickets on the exchange. Get some youthful exuberance in the place.

Hair on the back of your neck standing up and primal urges telling you to forget the consequences
