Sportsbet.com.au have suspended/closed the betting market (for now anyway) for the next melbourne coach....Adelaide and Western Bulldogs betting still available. Anything to it?

Posted

Probably is something to it.

I'm useless at finding the exotics on Betfair and TAB Sportsbet though

They are very seldom wrong!

They say "money speaks".

If they have closed the book then something is happening!

Or they are over-sensitive to rumours...

That also happens when money is involved...

Who could it be at this stage of the finals?

Eade? Viney? Williams? Laidley?

This morning, which was the last time i checked- Eade had floated from 2.50 to 2.75, Malthouse at 5, Ross Lyon 6, Then Viney dropped from 14 to 10, Neeld, Burns, Laidley all 10 as well

This market has been opened and closed a few times in the last month or so but yeah, the closer we get to pre-season the more we'll read into it I guess.

Max bet is $300 due to government exotics market rules

Herald sun reporting Lyon backed in from $9 to $2 over the past 24hrs. Thats a lot of $300 dollar bets

Yeah the thing is, if the saints players are reported correctly telling everyone Ross came out and said he isn't going to go to Melbourne....

this is fishy.

its only been suspended when the bulldogs and adelaide markets have been too (generally on sunday night after all matches have been played)

Not from my observation.

My initial thought is it is a response to Melbourne's intense secrecy regarding the position.

Melbourne have made a very clear decision to make the appointment of this coach as in house as humanly possible.

Maybe making calls on the Melbourne Coach is too risky for them...

What has a betting market got to do with who coaches us? Someone care to explain the link?

They take bets on who will coach us next season. There has been a drastic run of bets on Ross Lyon, shortening him from 9-1 down to 2-1 for the job in under a day. As such they have decided that there may be something fishy going on (such as news leaking early) and have stopped taking bets until they have looked into it.

Funny thing, they close the book when they think they stand to loose a lot of money because everyone is backing the same person. They never close the book when they think they're going to make a lot of money though. That hardly seems fair.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
