So if it tomorrow someone reports that Stoke have put in a bid, immediately people will pile into those odds and the odds will tumble. It really doesn't take much, a £1000 bet will happily move something from 12/1 to 2/1 in these markets. On the other hand you are incorrect, both about the bookies always winning and about the Leicester result being profitable. Bookies may win in the long term but on single events we lose money every single day to varying degrees. These football specials markets, in particular, are a nightmare and regularly leak money. Additionally the Leicester result was one of the worst in the history of the industry. They were backed from 5000/1 all the way down and at most firms it was, in the end, a case of anyone but them being an acceptable result.

This West Ham stuff... it's barely reported anywhere! Like I said, he may well go there, but I can't really see where people are getting it from other than:

What does seem quite likely is that Palace are in the market for a really good target man/ striker and will probably get one, whether that's Benteke, Babacar, or someone we havnt even heard of y t!

“He is not at the top of our list but we continue to monitor the situation. It’s all a bit of a game really." This is telling .. "its all a bit of a Game" wonder if its all to hike the cost up slightly .. ?? also as a player great to know that Your not top of there list :/

My gut tells me this one will happen. I have the same uneasy feeling about the finances as I had when we went for Cabaye. This feels like Liverpool squeezing every last drop out and West Ham being happy to be seen as a bidder when even they don't fancy it. We are clearly up for this 100% and as such will get a decent CF if we miss out on Benteke so I'm not fussed and in some ways would be happier if we did miss out.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

Another dawn, another day spent checking the internet every couple of hours to see if we've signed Benteke.
Am slowly resigning myself to the fact he's not coming. But that still won't stop me checking constantly until it's confirmed!
...we must expand...get more pupils...so that the knowledge will spread... |
