Ah right. Only saw part of the thread and matchI know mate. ITV have mentioned it about Eleventy Billion times.
Crazy the betting markets are adjusting because of Shmmeee's posts! Shhmmeee, have a word and see if you can get us all some decent odds on a 4-1 win on Friday with BTA anytime. Cheers@Bugsy in short, @shmmeee did a Gemini summary of teams who were top of the Championship after 12 games. 15/20 were promoted automatically.
Last season, Sunderland were the first team to be top after 12 games and go up via the playoffs.
As a percentage, that’s 76.2% of teams top after 12 games go up. The hype is real and the betting markets have shortened our odds massively.
£6.5m to play around with in January is appealing. We probably should have cashed out on Sheaf in the summer of 2024 but if he’s struggling with injuries/niggles, take what you can and move on.We are a bit light in central midfield but that money for Sheaf looks even better business now.
Houston?
Injury problems rearing their head multiple times already this season. The only regret is the timing not allowing us to get a replacement in.Looks amazing business. He’s never going to make in in the prem unfortunately for him.

Agree. normal system and they won't have a clue what to do with our big fast and strong forwardsFor fuck sake, these are absolutely shite and we should rip them apart. Judging by that performance against a lower league team, this fretting on here makes no sense to me.
I don't want to see any conservative formations either. Go at them with the normal set up. There's no need to go 5 at the back and offer them that much respect. Do our thing and I am sure we are going to leave their fans booing again.

Parkinson’s quote on Sheaf’s latest injury was concerning, he more or less said he felt something go kicking a ball.
Some tossers would still settle for a draw!Agree. normal system and they won't have a clue what to do with our big fat and strong forwards
I always thought betting odds were always very much customer led too. The more people backing a horse (or football team) the lower the odds get as a way for the bookies to soften the blow of their losses on it. How much of betting is fact based compared to customer led based I wonder?Hahaha you sausage!
In all seriousness, the betting markets will be well aware of the data and build this into their pricing model.
The reason Ipswich are still second favourites is because the underlying data suggests they’re in a false position and favour McKenna to turn things around. However, Southampton being priced where they are suggests they don’t have faith in Will Still despite the underlying data.

The markets are established now due to liabilities held by individual bookmakers . Nothing else. If they get a few big hits on teams like Ipseich they simply lay it off elsewhere. It's a mature market now , not one constructed entirely by odds compliersHahaha you sausage!

Parkinson might be able to avoid relegation but that's about it. He won't be there next season.I know they were chasing the game there Wrexham so inclined to go long, but it really reminded of Parkinson's Bradford team the one we drew 3-3 with. Only they had James Hanson not Moore. That long diagonal ball.

Betting markets is one of the most data driven industries. How do you even go about setting odds before anyone places money on an outcome?I always thought betting odds were always very much customer led too.

Gambling bookmakers in the mould of Gary Wilshire/Fearless Freddie Williams simply don't exist anymore. It's all about margins now , nothing else.Betting markets is one of the most data driven industries. How do you even go about setting odds before anyone places money on an outcome?
There will be an element of customer led odds setting because betting markets need to protect themselves and prices need to correct themselves.
I suspect a lot of people felt we were underpriced going into the season (pretty sure we were 5 or 6th favourites) because our form under Lampard was better than Sheff U’s from Xmas last year. Equally, our transfer market activity was relatively muted.
For arguments sake, if there was millions put on Sheff Wednesday to be promoted, the bookies would probably accept that’s an outcome that is about as close to 0% as you can get. There’s even current and historical data to support that.
AgreedParkinson might be able to avoid relegation but that's about it. He won't be there next season.
When the time comes, I imagine Wrexham fans will feel how we did when we sacked Robins. Parkinson has took them from the NL to this point. That loyalty to Parkinson from the owners and fans could well be a source of regret come end of the season.Parkinson might be able to avoid relegation but that's about it.

Sheaf cost Wrexham £6.5m - will be injured for 25% of games every season.We are a bit light in central midfield but that money for Sheaf looks even better business now.
Very important point on Grimes. His durability is elite, he’s missed about 10 to 15 league games since our league 2 days. I’m just going off appearances so there are games he may have just been rested rather than injured.Sheaf cost Wrexham £6.5m - will be injured for 25% of games every season.
Grimes cost us £3.5m from Swansea - has played over 40 games per season in his last 8 seasons.
Better, fitter player for approx half the cost.
We absolutely mugged both Welsh Championship clubs - great business Doug

The data clearly illustrates how predictability hardens as the season progresses. After just 15 games, a team in the top two has a strong, but not guaranteed, 64.3% chance of securing automatic promotion. By the 30-game mark, this probability has solidified to a commanding 88.1%, and their chance of at least making the play-offs becomes 100%.
Done his hamstring pulling up his socks.
Anyone could have taken a team up spending embarrassing amounts of money in the Conference and L1/L2. In this league however the spending has again been absurd but they now have a mid-lower table squad as opposed to a top end one.When the time comes, I imagine Wrexham fans will feel how we did when we sacked Robins. Parkinson has took them from the NL to this point. That loyalty to Parkinson from the owners and fans could well be a source of regret come end of the season.
They’ve spent a lot of money on the players of yesteryear and that strategy will catch up with them.
Serves them right, their fans fully believed they were onboard HMS Piss The League.
We were always light in midfield with his injury record it’s just that our bank balance is now 6.5 million heavier.We are a bit light in central midfield but that money for Sheaf looks even better business now.
Hear hear.J
I'm not a monster either, but am hoping for a couple of ACL's, three hamstring tears, two own goals, a sending off and a vomiting bug rampaging through the camp and this is before we have even reached half time.
This may be Hollywood, but come Friday, I am hoping we are facing the cast of Bugsy Malone and not Braveheart.
Im forever pulling out my back doing the most mundane of tasks!It’s quite a risky activity. Ten days ago I pulled my right hamstring when untying my left shoelace. Seriously. It’s b****y painful.
@Evo1883 once did his back in doing a much less mundane ‘task’ if memory servesIm forever pulling out my back doing the most mundane of tasks!

Brilliant. Sign him up King ffs.
Didn’t realise he was a shithouse as well.Brilliant. Sign him up King ffs.
The melt down on their forum is glorious.
Even weirder than the bin bag boys.Reading it on the way to work. Unbelievable stuff.
"You as an American can say "So What?". It just shows how little you have in common with North Walians. And that's fine, I wouldn't be able to get as riled up for some rival basketball game. But get ****ed if you're telling Wrexham fans how to feel after that. This rivalry runs much deeper than football. Much deeper than just a game. The day Wrexham fans can shrug that performance off against Cardiff and say "We'll get ya next time buddy" will be a cold day in hell."
