Title: Odds
Post by: Barmby Rover on August 22, 2025, 09:49:35 pm
Rovers are 6/4 against winning with Skybet, I reckon that is decent odds in a two horse race, definitely when it is PV, even if it is away.

I have a feeling PV are going to feel the backlash of Tuesday today.

Agreed. It is just a matter of latching onto the balls in the box.

It’s not a two horse race though is it. There are three outcomes.

And it's not a de minimis amount. A quarter (24pc) of all games in League One last season ended in a draw - 135 out of 557 League One games.

Gazlaz, sorry but I believe there are 4 possible outcomes, you forgot to factor in the officials who imo have just as much effect on the outcome of the game as the other three!

I know what you mean but even if the Ref is absolutely a Port Vale fan and gives them 7 penalties and keeps ordering retakes till they score it still produces one of the 3 outcomes

I could see a case for the 4th being an abandonment but then that isn't a result I don't think
