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”.

What were the bookies odds of a Bournemouth win when we were 2-0 up in the 85th minute mate? Bookies never miss so I’m told.

NSNO though eh lads and lasses.

It’s all very well wanting us to adhere to its meaning, but using it as a stick to beat the club with, without contributing a meaningful point of view, doesn’t really represent NSNO either.

The bookies clearly aren't infallible but they are right much more often than not. Don't conflate what I'm saying with some sort of acceptance. My only point is about using some broader context to view our games, rather than "I want us to win, so we should win".

In-play odds are determined differently but essentially yeah, it was an absolute disgrace.
