Sky Bet has
11/10 them
12/5 us
5/2 draw

That's because we're still plucky little Villa to Sky and most of the msm. They can't comprehend that we're a big club on the rise. We should not be afraid of Spurs. Fuck em and fuck Sky. 0-3 to plucky little Villa.

Sky Bet, just as every betting company do, make the odds on the basis of where the punters are putting their money.

This.

And punters are stupid, on the whole.

That's me. I'm shit at betting.

Good news, Lawro predicting a 2-1 home win.

[martin o`who??]

If we don't waste chances like we have been I'm optimistic.

[cdbearsfan]

At least if we lose, Flin5tone might come back. I've missed him 😪

I think this should be an easy win…

But then again this is Villa.

My first away game since the pre-lockdown debacle at the Crisp Bowl. Looking forward to the banter, the coach, pre-match drinks and hopefully a Villa win. I think we can at least get a point.

McAvennie insists the striker could run riot against Nuno Espirito Santo’s side as they continue to struggle at the back.

“Danny Ings could have a field day,” McAvennie told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.

“Of course, him and Ollie Watkins are one hell of a partnership. Watkins does so well coming deep while Ings causes problems.

“If Tottenham defend like they have done recently then they are in trouble. They are just awful.

“I think Villa go in as favourites, they will fancy themselves and Ings will fancy a couple of goals."

They’ve said on MOTD that there’s a big game on tomorrow. Obviously, we all know that but then they spoilt it by saying it was Scouse v Manca!!

This.

How's it work though say if a syndicate of about 100 (like those lot who worked the Millionaire system years back) decided to all chip in a tenner on the underdog so those odds eventually tumble and the "favourite" odds increase. At which point it's better odds to then put decent money on them to win aswell so you get a decent payout as long as it isn't a draw either way.

Or end up at Gamblers anonymous.

Would say there's a bit of probability to the odds aswell e.g Spurs won't keep losing and will eventually win one and they're more likely to do that at home and away so it's been priced. If Bookies really were pricing Spurs at 3 or 4/1 to win tomorrow due to recent form there's a danger they'd be properly rinsed.

Going on history you might aswell price us at 1000/1 to beat Man. United at Villa Park in any season regardless of form but as last week showed it will eventually happen and then you suffer massive payout.

Have to say though for a neutral who likes speculative punts we're a cracking price given we beat them three months ago and our general form.

4-2 to the mighty Villa.

For their audience, they're correct. It'll be tense on the streets of Jakarta tomorrow.
