Soccer

Steve Staunton is at 100-1 and Pinocchio at 80-1. Why do they bother
putting their name on the list? To keep this related to the original
post I must admit those odds are very short and strongly suggest that
someone is in the know or he has a lot of dosh to risk because it
would take a few huge bets to shorten the odds that much. The source
claims that money has flooded but on the other hand you have to
consider that bokkies are not stupid and where they smell something
fishy they immediately suspend the all bets in that market.
