I do understand the way that odds setting works - but it does regularly bamboozle me how these computer programs -or rather more accurately the way peoples minds - work despite the facts in front of them. Villa haven't won in 9(?) matches - and Barnsley have a great away record this season. Yet the odds last night for a Barnsley win were 9/2 - A complete suspension of logic. It's at times like this I love following #teamslikebarnsley . All the way to the bank.
9/2 last night represented an 18% chance of winning.Two 0-0's and the possibility of Conor raising his game were enough to put me off, but perfectly possible to argue that we were considerably overpriced! 11/4 (26.7% chance) available for us (3 wins in 6) against Brighton (2 wins in 6) on Saturday!
