Send me the bookies link to show me that you can can get evens on him not joining Swansea

It won't exist, no way they'd be taking bets on him not to join Swansea at evens, i guarantee. :ayatollah:


If it is evens for him to join swansea then it's evens for him not joining Swansea on betting exchanges.

Ask betfair to put a market up, they always do requests for markets if there isn't already one.

no it won't be..



Err... Yes it will be.

It's maths. If something has 40% chance of happening then it has 60% chance of not happening. On the exchanges, if villa is evens (50/50) to go to Swansea then he's also evens not to.

It's pretty simple.


Doesn't work like that at all!

Yes, there is the draw of Laudrup, who is seen as footballing God in Spain, especially at Barca. But, it will never happen. Also, he is the shadow of the player he was before his injury.


Of course you know that.. :roll:

Merlin is certainly not right. It's pretty simple.

If a market is entered onto a betting exchange the odds of something to happen is equally proportionate for the same tho not to happen. It is called "laying".

If Cardiff are 1/2 to win the league they would be 2/1 not to win the league, it really is that simple.

This.

Very easy to work out as a percent also.

1 + 2 = 3

100/3 = 33.33%

Cardiff are 1/2 so therefore would be 66.66% (recurring) to win the league and 33.33% (recurring) to not win.
