No it means the weight of money gambled on the outcome suggests it is "7/8ths" likely IE. 87.5% chance of happening according to the punters.

Carnero Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Doesn't ACTUALLY mean it's 87.5% likely, just that the money gambled so far indicates that way. So if you thought it was more than 87.5% likely (probably requiring insider knowledge) then you should still bet at 1/7, if you thought it less than 87.5% likely then you shouldn't.

It doesn’t take much money in next manager markets for bookmakers to slash prices,any bets of £25 or more will have them cutting prices and they are unlikely to take any hefty beats in my experience.

How much would you have to bet to make it a worthwhile return? I don't think he'll be the next manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what return would be classed as worthwhile! For example you'd need to £700 to win just £100. The smart people like 'arry would have been on him when he was 16/1.

Gritstone Ram Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I'm warming to Lampard if he wants to come. The problem is if he is successful he'll be off pretty quick too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 From The Mirror tweet: Quote Millionaire tech tycoon Morris has told pals he hopes to make an 'exciting' appointment from the candidates. Morris now intends to consider his options over the weekend at the Championship club. He had originally favoured a manager with Championship experience but Lampard's impressive CV could swing it.

SaintRam Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 These two lines are significant to me (from that article): Quote Morris wants the successful candidate to give more of County's promising homegrown youngsters a chance in future after investing in the club's academy. Quote He is cutting the club's first team budget but still feels Derby will be competitive for another crack at promotion after missing out in the play-offs this term. If the former is done well, I don't think the latter will impact us too much. We have quality in our youth, and additionally - young players are known to be affected by names like Lampard. They tend to play better in games where famous players are involved (when in youth teams recovering from injury etc.), they play better when big names (they relate to) get youth coaching roles etc. - I really think Lampard would be the best candidate for our youngsters.
