Bookmaking is about maths not opinions. You could use a 'Wisdom of Crowds' argument, but this particular market is distorted by certain, different sized, parts of the crowd desiring particular outcomes.

yes as i said for whatever reason, their odds should look very very tempting to all the people who think this game is a 20 point victory to the dobbins,as the bookies will give odds against a kr win its not rocket science

You suggested that GraftonRed believed the bookies were wrong. My point is that bookies don't really have opinions, they balance the herd and the size of the Hull FC punt will be bigger than the Hull KR, so our odds/handicap will likely always be a bit more generous than they should be.

I think this is a new low.
It can't get much worse than having to explain someone's own posts to them.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Not bad odds really.
