plymouthram Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Most of the time the bookies get it right, and Paul Clement is favourite for the Rams job. I know the media have been saying possible Sunderland could snatch him away from our grasp, but if you check the latest they are linked and even with bookies to the current PSV coach Phillip Cocu. Does anybody think it wont be Paul Clement for us, and if so why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I think it will be Paul Clement but the odds are irrelevant. They mostly depend on money staked, not actual market information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 The odds on online bookmakers' sites for markets like 'next manager at xyz nondescript championship club' just reflect the wagers made. The book is so tiny that someone betting £20 will affect the odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robglosta Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 You're right that it gives an indication, but it doesn't really mean anything. A candidate could be priced at 1/3, then come out and dismiss the rumours and fall off the bookies shortlist - at that time they were the most likely to get the job, though.

-JW- Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I've got a hunch we're gonna appoint Clement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 They aren't stupid. And the fact that Jurgen Klopp is 25/1 for us, and was previously 14/1 for Brentford shows just how many people there are out there willing to piss their money away to the bookies and why they're all so wealthy.

Alph Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Bookies don't make predictions. Newspapers and people do. People place bets, bookies change odds to protect their money. That's the reason you don't get poor bookies. Not because they know stuff. They know when to make 10/1 become 1/10. It's when theyve got your money and don't want to risk giving you theirs.
