Parras odds just blew out to 19s - Salary cap ready to blow? Sportsbet must know something

Not necessarily, would u back eels to the win the comp right now knowing we might lose all our points thus losing your bet??

Odds are normally determined by who bets on what and are adjusted according. A lot of punters probably don't want to risk their cash.

What were our odds before tonight?


11s by memory. The foran thing may of blew it out 1-2 but after that win it should of tightend and didn't.
The fact you can almost get 10-1 to finish top 4 is concerning. they know if we make it we are a chance of winning it so put us at 19s.
And to do that we need to finish top 8 and why we are at 3.25
The loss of points is to big for us to finish top 4 thou.

We were $26 before tonight's win in sports bet.
I checked it last night to see if the Foran thing would have changed it, realised how far we had blown out

Betting agencies find out everything before the public does.

Time to find another code to support this year as i sure am not supporting the cheats at the NRL.

Penrith are at $17 and sitting on 6 points. So mabe we will be sitting on 4 or 6 points. Based on speculation.

The odds are determined by actuarial geeks based on how much cash people put in a particular place....

The sum of knowledge we can glean from the fluctuating odds is that the TAB is holding more money than Sportsbet on the Eels winning, so tge odds are shorter.

That's not actually completely true, although it is the principle of how betting companies operate.

When they open the market up no one has bet on anything and the odds are still based on the natural probability, which is the principle of odds in the first place.

It would still be a combination of the two. For instance, the TAB or Sportsbet will always tell you for a given match who has received the most money/bets in the bettng for a match, but that team isn't always the favourite. If odds are soley determined based on how much cash people put in a particular place, then wouldn't they be the favourites?

I think they actually tell us where the recent money has gone, ie the latest trend of the betting. Last night the late money all went with the dogs because of the Foran thing.

The favourite (lowest odds) will always be the team who has the most money backed for it
