Just checked Paddy Power and Didier Deschamps is joint favourite for ireland manager with Venables. What's the story?
this whole thing is a joke at this stage end of story, we the irish supporters are worse again for backing deschamps or anyone else at this stage, the bookies are taking the ****, between Daglish , kendall , giles , brady, venables , mccarthy, jol, surely kerr will probably come into the equation, not to mention maurice setters or Eoin hand, a total joke, the bookies will be the only ones smiling!!!!!!!!!!
I've been checking the prices as well over the last couple of days & Dave O'Leary has gone from 14/1 yesterday to 9/1 this morning and has now shortened to 6/1. Obviously a lot of money going down on him. Anyone know why ?????Quote:

All it takes is a few of these texts to go around I suppose:Quote:

Giles is now joint favourite with Venables.

Never mind Deschamps, lets go for ZiZou!
Didier Deschamps.... Christ.
Theres more chance of me getting my balls licked by Kylie Minogue than the FAI landing Deschamps.
Someone got a tip about Deschamps.
A lad I know went to the bookies and put a score on at 100-1. I was in the same bookies five minutes after him and he was down to 66-1.
A couple of peole later, and only the odd fiver and Deschamps was down to 25-1.
Bookies aren’t taken any chances and slash odds once any sort of money is put down
is there anything stopping a bookies from making false odds? i.e the have deschamps at 100-1 at lunch time the 66-1 at teatime and the next morning at 33-1 this is obviously gonna get people backing him heavily..
any legislation stopping them from fooling us?
It's a complete money making racket. I believe people do and are doing this and have done for a long time. Names float to the top only to be deflated again in the blink of an eye. You or I could manipulate the market easily. All it takes is too have a small bank of money. Arrange a few bets to put on an unlikely, but kinda possible candidate, in a few bookies around the country and on the exchanges. Then bookies must then shorten odds if nothing else to balance their books. Then we log on to one of the betting exchanges and lay (take bets) that candidate when mug money starts going on him. All in all, simply done.
The only thing sustaining this is that one time it will be true.
Guys, stay out of the bookies and don't be giving these crap rumours any credence. I hear Gary Waddock's doing a great job at Aldershot. What price is he?
Just common sense....Quote:

New favourite on Betfair .. into evens nearly. has there been some sort of leak?
(Edit: got a bit excited there. Still can't imagine Deschamps as Irish manager though)
There's no such thing as true or false odds (apart from in lotteries and casino games, etc.). They're opinion.Quote:

is there a bit of insider trading going on here? (I hope so!!!)
Is "Paddy Power" a member of this forum?:confused: I may have a couple of questions for him.
