Ill informed comments on betting

Just two examples that bug the **** out of me;

Mick O'Dwyer talking about when Wicklow beat Kildare in the Leinster Championship this year '7/1 in a two horse race was a great price' 7/1 was the 70 mins betting. This market is not a two horse race nor ever will be where there is a draw option. There are three possible outcomes Home win/draw/away win.

From the betfair forum ; Back Liverpool on the handicap +9 - was 16 with powercity - not so now but still great value. Last year Pool finished 11 points behind Utd and with poor Anfield home record. This year all Pool have to do is finish within 8 points of the winners so get on
Liverpool have to do a hell of a lot more than finish within 8 points of the winners. Their final points total is combined with their handicap mark. That applies to all 20 teams in the handicap however and invaribly some under rated team from the lower echelons who strings together a run of wins tops the handicap mark. Liverpool finishing within 8 points of United or Chelsea does not mean you have scooped a 16/1 winner!

The most annoying bit was Wicklow being 7/1. Was that the actual price or are you just making an example? Tipped that game in GAA competition but never thought of actually putting cash on it. Annoying.

micko was on that gaa show on rte (des scahill) and said the 7/1. I think they would have been about that price as Kildare were 1/8 pegs
