Answer: Question about falling odds
Good morning. Nice theme.
I would like to look at it from 2 perspectives: in terms of value and in terms of who or what throws the odds.
1) let's say you see a 50% ace and they give it to you at 2.40. The next day the ace goes to 2.10. you say "nice", it fits my script, let me bet now that the "fall" shows that I was right. What did we achieve? A 50% ace that we would "buy" at 2.40, now we will bet at 2.10, ie with (clearly) less value.
2) We are in La Liga, Real Madrid is playing against Las Palmas and the ace opens at 1.20 and after a while it is "pressed" (be careful of course not ... be stressed!) And go to 1.10. Who do we think drove the odds and what is the value of this drop? Do we believe that this fall was caused by "smart money"?
Respectively, we are in the Championship ... Uzbekistan (which almost no one deals with anyway) and the champion is playing in the penultimate seat where it is a question of having made 2 victories in the whole Championship. The Company has included in the coupon the Uzbekistan Championship "out of obligation" (come on mom now, who cares
and a bored trader puts a 6.00 on the home team to have a go. But come on, the champion is petite, come on, she has 3-4 basics suddenly with viral gastroenteritis that have plagued them in the serums at the Tashkent General Hospital, come on, the coach of the "little girl" made a career in the big team and there are "ties" and memories that the latter are learned by 2-3 Uzbeks and their families and a specific one here at infobeto (we do not say names) and the trader wakes up the next day and sees a bunch of bets on the ace and the odds "dissolve". Is it the same here now? No.
Dortmund played Tottenham in the Europa League last March. I was surprised by the odds of the double of the excellent Tottenham, which was around 6.00. 1-2 hours before the match this 6.00 became 8.00 and of course the Dortmund ace fell further. I did the stupid thing of betting double, believing that 8.00 was super value. If I had bothered to read that Pochettino had a scuffle for the match and dropped a lot of "seconds", I would not be playing. Welcome guys: Dortmund 3-0! So when we see something strange, we always ask "why" but the answer is not always easy.
In order not to get tired, I believe that as we personalize each match to see what we will play, so each drop of odds is individualized. However, I think it is wrong to wait for the odds to fall to give us a reason to play, because that's how we lose value. However, after playing we can see where the performance will go, but in order to interpret the changes, we have to look for why.
