not yet mate just Sky make us favourites, just the Man City for Stones story means we have to get someone in sharpish don't know whether Ron would go back to pillage or even if the Saints would sell as they are getting ransacked again (Mane, Wanyama) , feel sorry for them sometimes as I know most clubs get pillaged but they get it worse than anyone.

When will fans/ posters realise that bookies are in the business of making profits - not in being proved right about who is and isn't favourite. They set the odds according to how much money is at stake in the market. They might set some odds to entice mug punters, but they'll make sure they don't make a loss in the long run. If punters suddenly lumped big money on some player joining us (normally because of a media rumour! ) , then that player's odds would be reduced by the bookie. Any bookie who doesn't adjust his odds to the prevailing market - and makes sure he doesn't lose money whatever the outcome - wouldn't stay in busines very long. That's why it's said you don't often see a poor bookie. They love outsiders winning, as they make money on all those losing bets on the favourites, and they don't like favourites winning, as their profit margin is much lower.
If someone put daft money on some unknown player joining us, then the bookies would have to adjust the odds and the unknown would become the favourite.
