Way to make a statement without backing it up with any support or facts. "YOUR ODDS ARE NOT MEANINGFUL TO ME". Good one. They're meaningful to everyone else. So what the fuck does it matter if you disagree?

"WHY WOULD ANYONE BET AGAINST THE ODDS?!" - srussell0018

Hahaha, just end this now, for your own sake.

Originally posted by Taipan What you are trying to say is speculation influences odds. Sure, nobody denies that. Speculation influences stocks and currency as well. In fact, you can argue that odds are purely and solely based on speculation. But to be fair, objectivity is nothing more than collective perception, right?

Some odds are based on statistical probability and are factual. Your odds are based on speculation, and are largely arbitrary, which is why you're left trying to beg the epistomological question to win a footy debate.

No - the speculation already takes the statistics, probability and facts into account. People check the stats, probability and facts and then come up with their individual expected outcomes. Then the odds are adjusted for the collective expected outcomes.

I don't know what "epistomological" means. If you want to call me stupid for that, go ahead.

If you are trying to say that some odds are completely straight forward - like who will win a coin toss - then these odds can also been seen as driven by speculation because the speculation will be just as straight forward. Everyone will give these odds a 50/50 chance, then based on the collective opinion , bookmakers will assign EVS odds.

Odds are NOT predictions . You are still not getting it and making yourself look stupider and stupider with every post. I gave you a out a few posts ago, but it seems like you are begging for another meltdown. Go buy yourself a probability book, honestly, I'm trying to save you from some serious embarrassment.

What srussell0018 is really trying to say: "Hey fellow tranceaddicts, a NOOB is pwning me! Help me out!".

Keep crying for help, you still wont have any idea what you're talking about.
