Caulker betting

[furlong29]

We were 1/7 to sign him earlier now 1/4! But more of a concern is palace were 16/1 this morning then 10/1 now 7/2 ! This stinks of the hooper deal last year . Can handle it if were beaten to the signing by arsenal or Liverpool but not the stripey Nigel's !

as is well known these kind of odds have as much connection to reality as i do after 24 pints
their main purpose is to get free publicity for the bookies
soon as someone tries to lump on they suspend betting - what a con
better off reading your tea leaves as a source of information

Pulis

[Hitman34]

betting prices mean fark all.

personally though i dont think he will come to us. if he was he would have signed by now

[maidstone_hoop]

would be sickening if palace beat us to him really would. As said earler if liverpool, everton or spurs beat us then fair enough but pulis and palace no farking way.

[Factamondo]

i have it on good authority his offer from us has been 'withdrawn' now....dont shoot the mallinder!

[Shania]

OK, he will stay with Cardiff then..

[furlong29]

Now 4/6 with us and 5/4 with palace really hope we don't lose out to them ! Besides Chelsea my most hated team !

very naive. Betting - especially these days - is a vast international industry and the people who adjust odds are specialists. They have to be or they wouldn't survive. But money where mouth is - if those prices are wrong, help yourselves! Never confuse a bookmaker price with press speculation. The former are always on the money.

Caulker may still come, but shortening Palace is not a sensible way to bring in business - they wouldn't do it without a reason.

Now 4/6 with us and 5/4 with palace really hope we don't lose out to them ! Besides Chelsea my most hated team !

from 1/7 to 4/6 is a massive re-adjustment

Look at this:

"I have to say, I don't think QPR are an attractive prospect at all. Harry is on his last legs so the manager that signs you almost certainly won't be around for more than a year...the fallout from the poisonous reputation the dressing room had 12 months ago is probably still not totally gone in player circles...Barton is a loose cannon; I suspect a few players would not want to join a dressing room where he was a central figure...and they really don't have a lot of genuine Premiership talent. Basically, they snuck up with a lot of luck in the playoffs and they're in for a long, hard season where they'll be relegation favourites."


I agree with the view that Harry will not be around for a long term. As I understand the manager is a key part in signing so I am starting to worry about failing to sign players due to this.

'they snuck up via the playoffs' is a bit rich though given that is how they went up the season before!!

Its a fair comment. We are all just biased. Objectively speaking there probably isn't much to choose between us and Palace. Which might be why he is waiting for Everton?

Agree pullis has taken them to another level. Finishing mid table has shown that they have a great team spirit and will be a very tough challenge next season for most clubs. We are biased because apart from allot of talking we just haven't done a thing yet. We had a very fortunate season and lets try and take advantage of that a build a stable side like Palace already have.

As long as those aren't the word's of any promising signings, then I couldn't care less about a nobody's opinion!!!
