Worth a flutter?

[JR]

33/1 at Bet 365 for Reading to win - surely ridiculous odds for a two horse race.

Also, remember it will be Man United B vs Rejuvinated Reading.

There is also the effect of the shackles of the league relegation battle being released meaning players will be less likely to cut-out the silly errors.

Finally, a new manager in place with an attacking style means our squad players will be eager to impress.

Clearly on the face of it with form, club history and league position then 33/1 doesn’t sound crazy - but quite possibly worth a flutter when you delve a bit deeper?!

Me fighting Tyson Fury would also be a 'two horse race' . . .

33/1 seems generous for our chances. 100/1 seems more bloody likely.

[Royal Rother]

There have been many examples of struggling Champ clubs turning over lofty opponents so to my mind 33/1 is very generous.

Can I see it happening?

Absolutely not.

three-horse race

Home/draw/Away.

Anyway, I've got a tenner at 33/1 and a tenner on the draw at 11/1

Paddy Power.

[windermereROYAL]

I will do the calculation, if you put £10 on at 33/1 you lose a tenner.

Well, its actually a three horse race.
I know its popular to wish Man United the worst of luck; but I cant remember an iota of form which suggests we're getting anywhere near anything out of this.

[LUX]

lump everything on Man U at 1/16, then.

Kushti.

Probably not so many examples of worsening Championship clubs turning over resurgent PL contenders they've never beaten before (I think) though

[Jackson Corner]

330/1 I still wouldn’t put a quid on.

[Snowball]

Please remember no second-tier club has ever won away at a first-tier club

The very idea is ridiculous

[JR]

Reading much the better side in the first half showing that was definitely worth a flutter at 33/1.

Sadly quality showed with the second goal.

Very pleased with our efforts here though.

then you don't understand probability

He understands the difference between a bookmaker that covers every game protecting themselves systemically and the actual chances of us winning that game... which were basically zero, hence no bet on us winning having any value.

If that game was replayed 20 times we would win at least 1 of them imho - hence 20/1 would have been sensible odds

given something like this being probable^^^

ex_value = £311

It's not though. It's played once and we were never winning it.

why bother playing it then?

[Royal Rother]

Jeez, what a daft discussion, as ever dominated by Mr Dogmatic.

[Dr_Hfuhruhurr]

Only on HNA? could a losing bet be argued to be a good bet.
