Proof that Lawro underrates Villa

[eamonn]

Why don't the bookies ever offer the shortest odds on a draw?

Don't need to promote bookmakers, just find one of the best odds setters at one of the big bookies and offer him a job for the money they pay Lawro they'd get someone.

But then everyone would back their predictions and it would fuck the bookies up wouldn't it?

We have some smug ****** by the name of Tom Waterhouse spruiking his booky business while pretending to be a pundit during the Rugby League over here... so be careful what you wish for.

Psychologically people are moved to bet when they have a strong view on the outcome of a game. Generally this will be that a particular team will win. It's difficult to be convinced the game will be a draw. As the odds reflect the weight of money bet a draw is often longer prices that the actual probability.

Thanks lovejoy, you are a wise man.

If I was that wise the bookies would owe me money not the other way around!

I take part in a predictions league on another site and Lawro's predictions have been inserted there for the best part of the last ten years. He does surprisingly well overall - he finished sixth in Division 1 this season. The site also tells you how much you would have won had you bet on each of the predictions made and only five players out of 160-odd would have made more money than him.

That may well be the case but he's still an arse biscuit.

Lawro's predictions are indicative of the lazy bell end he is. More so his justifications.

Fawning of Appy Arry, consistent 1-1 draws between the 'Big' teams now minus his beloved Liverpool and stating the bleedin obvious.

The beeb need a serious overhaul of their pundits and please don't give Michael Bland Owen a full time role.

Statistically, draws are a lot less likely than the alternatives as well.

You are a secret Lawro lover you are coming on here with your Lawro facts and spoiling our hatefest.

Ha ha! Classic! Sorry, gents. I'll re-phrase my earlier offering:

"Lawro was relegated from Division 3B last season and has been pitiful at predicting ever since his predictions have been added to the predictions league. He struggles to make it past 100 points in a season. Shocking form."

I wonder how many pages it will take before that is mis-quoted as being justification for his poor predicting skills!

That was funny a few weeks back when there was a stream of vitriol towards Lazy Lawro based on predictions he might have made but hadn't actually.

As a so called pundit he is pretty dire and boring along with Mr.Opinionated (Hansen). That said we have to be grateful that neither of them are so-called presenters like Adrian Boing Boing Chiles and Mogadon man Matt Smith....how ITV employ these 2 wastes of space beggars belief. Their F A Cup coverage on that channel is totally inept & don't get me started on their coverage of the CL. Still can't believe the BBC shoved Manish Bhasin onto the Football League show leaving Mr Potato Head Lineker to run MOTD !
