Disappointed to see bookmakers odds been used and quoted here so much.
Something a lot of people struggle with.
Better ways to make a point then using them.

Also we're now using bookies odds as the next cope, which is surprising.

Disappointing I'd say

The bookies did. Three of those were away games so that affects it as well. Leicester and Ipswich won't be favourites at Goodison, but at their place they were around 13/10 and we were 2/1.

I'm not suggesting they are insurmountable odds, just trying to illustrate how often we view our chances as being better than they realistically are.

The bookies back City to win every game. That’s just not how football works. We might as well give up every game bar 3 or 4 home fixtures and just shrug and go “well the bookies said we’d lose”.
