Ok so if you are a comparable team then surely you win 1/4. The percentage chances of not are pretty low 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Ok lads. We've pissed around too much for decades. Time for a Hell for leather, 'baws oot' performance. Runrig's "Loch Lomond" on repeat. 3-1 Scotland, 2-0 half time, Israel consolation goal in final minutes. Other two group matches end in draws. 50 thousand new Duolingo Gaelic course (free) sign-ups by 10pm. (Watch out - Iain seems like a nice bloke, but he can be a bit obsessed with underpants...)

I will be getting the train to Mount Florida from Central, but want to avoid the queues at the ticket machine. I am passing Bellgrove, High Street & Queen Street today; can I buy tickets from one of these stations' ticket machines? I think the ticket machines will only give you a ticket from that particular station. Will need to use the ticket office at Queen Street or High Street (if it’s open). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Taking the kids to their 1st ever game at Hampden, any recommendations for a pre match boozer ? Doesn't even have to be particularly near the ground. Getting the train across. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They literally make their money by winning their bets. The shortest odds reflect the more likely outcome. Whether or not the favourite wins is neither here nor there. Every single possibility imaginable is subject to variable chance. Bookies quite literally make profit by accurately predicting outcomes more often than not The shortest odds reflect where the most money has gone not the most objectively likely outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Not sure how this will go, don't see us losing it really to be honest and although I could see us blowing them away in a way similar to when we beat Ukraine 3 - 1 in Euro 2008 qualifying, I can also see it being a close game with a narrow victory or draw. McFadden said in his article it's in our hands if we win, but the same is true if we draw hope that's not forgotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If bookies get the odds wrong and the favourite is too long, it becomes essentially impossible to lay it. Go offer of Rangers 100/1 to win the league and see if you can make the numbers work. Besides, the wisdom of crowds dictates that when a crowd has money on the line, they will be more accurate as a collective than any unique individual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Is there anywhere that you can get a bet on when Ian Crocker first says tonight “Zahavi certainly likes a goal against Scotland.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we win, I’m really hoping for a 2007 v Ukraine, or at a push, a 2007 v Lithuania, rather than a more recent v Slovenia/Slovakia where we scrape out 1-0 wins. I’m really feeling quite positive about this game. One thing is for sure, we haven’t struggled to create chances, we just haven’t taken them. At some point we’ll click, and someone will be on the end of a hiding. Would be nice if we could blow them away and allow us to enjoy it…! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not surprise me at all to lose this then do something good like beat Denmark. Edited October 9, 2021 by Jambomo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
