The mystery of Harry’s diminishing odds to leave Spurs
by Dan Fitch on March 31, 2011
A popular bet these days is the Next Premier League Manager To Leave
market, with several firms offering odds on the next top flight boss to
either resign, to be sacked from their post.
Today has seen the odds of Harry Redknapp becoming the next Premier
League manager to leave his job tumble, with Victor Chandler’s odds
falling from 100-1 to 8-1. William Hill, Sky Bet and Paddy Power have
all cut their odds to between 10-1 and 9-1. You can seen the pattern of
the fall in prices here.
For those of you that don’t understand betting markets, odds tend to
come in like this when either the bookmaker gets wind of a something
that could effect the market, or a lot of punters start placing sizable
bets on a selection.
A Tweet is now doing the rounds publicising the falling odds, which
probably means that they will fall further. Redknapp was of course
involved in a situation when it was stated that he would not get the
Portsmouth manager job (which saw his odds rise considerably), only to
be given the post the next day, amidst claims that plenty of in-the-know
bettors profited handsomely.
So do you think that there is anything in this? Or is it just another
rumour that has got out of hand and is leading mug punters to lump on?
We hope that it’s the latter, but nothing would surprise us in football.
