Malky's odds

Mon May 20, 2013 8:36 pm

After Drifting up to 20/1 on sky bet last week just noticed he's back down to 6/1 joint 3rd fav for Everton job! He was 12/1 this afternoon, why has the odds suddenly tumbled again?

Haven't got a clue how it all works (not a gambling man) but my guess would be that odds fluctuate depending on the amount of money that's being bet on each candidate from day to day

This happens alot when Everton have said they were not going to put a manager in place untill after the season had finnished.
So our friends at Betfair move people in and out in the betting to win money,by telling people they have heared this and that about a manager.

The examples of this have been MM - Poyet - Stubbs - and the latest one is ...Jurgen Klinsmann :o

People just speculating. Ladbrokes tweeted earlier that Klinsman has been backed into 5/1 from 33/1! Bookies got no clue whose getting the Everton job that's why the prices are so high for managers job. Example Pelligrini is 1/9 for the Man City job

I realise bookies just clutching at straws but would still prefer to see him up at 50's +!

I Think we all would :malky: - for me it's people making money buy and selling his odds/price.

Someone probably put a few grand down on malky, so the bookies bricked it and lashed the odds just in case
