Opinion Round 16 Changes vs. Carlton

[DudleyDocker]

After last weeked's loss we are now third favourites for the premiership behind Hawthorn and Sydney. So those accusing others of "melting down" are taking the piss a bit. We are no longer favourites, we aren't even 2nd favourites.

Stop melting down ydraw.

And if the Eagles win today and we don't absolutely smash Carlton we'll be forth in line.

Bookies are not fickle. They just set a line that will get the most action.

Bookies get it right for a living. They are consistently far better predictors than either fans or media commentators.

Err, you said this a few weeks back about Freo being favourites. Now they aren't. Were bookies right then?

When the facts change, the predictions change.

Bookies are the most reliable predictor of anything, whether it's sport, elections, or whatever else. There's a reason for that. People put a lot more effort into it when they have money on the line.
