Who's GG?

Sorry should be JG!

George Graham?

Crikey, I thought George Graham had made a late move!

I got an email about half an hour ago from a friend who says a lot about football but knows very little. Urged us to back Dalglish @ 14's. Why?
Cos Houllier has turned us down. The whole situation is a bloody joke. Imagine delaying interviews because one of the interviewers is doing a coaching course. Bunch of fcuking clowns.

People are so gullible about Betfair. They will announce through the press that someone has put "30k" on Joe Bloggs and immediately their business goes up tenfold by the lemmings following suit.

These Betfair releases must have made them a fortune for them.

p.s. Not sure if the panel has interviewed Joe Bloggs in case anyone goes out and puts a few Euro on him.

Houllier on the mover again, big sums backing him at 2.7 now...

These Betfair releases must have made them a fortune for them.

Betfair is a betting exchange...it is punter v punter not like a bookmaker and all the movements on it are free for all to see.

The bookmakers on the street are the ones cleaning up imo, not the exchanges.

Moving to the Betting forum

GH 2.6
TV 4.3
JG 6

More money for Houllier....they must be busy working out that compo deal!

Gerard Houllier is the only loser for me in this market.
Ironically, I'd prefer to see him get the job.

Backed Venables to cushion the blow in case he did get it.

I've £75 on Joe Bloggs to be the next Sunderland manager so I really hope that he doesn't get the Ireland gig.

A friend of a plasterer who used to work for a guy who's aunt my cousin's hairdresser works for say that they have it on very good authority that Joe Bloggs and John Delaney were seen looking at tractors together at the Spring Show last year. That £75 is starting to look like a bad investment...

Sorry, Joe Bloggs was spotted having a slash outside Break for the Border with the Scottish F.A. on Saturday night. There's your Sunderland money gone.

you can back Don Givens at around 209/1 I think.
Can the great man ratify himself?

245Pm update:

TV 5.1 : Weak
JG 7.2: Weak

Of course the exchanges clean up, they make a profit from every single euro that is bet and laid. And do you seriously think that all the money being laid on betfair is made up of fivers and tenners from Joe Bloggs?

u don't kow what u are talking about. Betfair will make a pittance on this market compared to the highstreet bookies. They are low margin and the nature of exchanges mean they atract traders 9v low margin on their biz)

Anyway

GH 9-10 big move again past 10 mins
TV 9-2
JG 8-1
KDal 9-1
Others 16-1+
