Famous Hearts Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hearts price on betfair has drifted from 1.34 to 1.72 in half an hour. Can anyone shed any light on this ie are we playing the kids? Or is there something more intriguing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 It has probably drifted because we are playing the same old tried and tested bunch of unmotivated wasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalMac Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Nah, it's cos we're not playing the kids = same old pish on show. I think it's the sentimental logic at work here. This is likely to be Gretna's last ever game & so they should be 'up for it'. We are guff & looked like we couldn't give a toss on Saturday, so as a value punt it has to be Gretna.

Nelly Terraces Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Zaliukas is playing. That could explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossi_1983 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Haven't done this for ages, but I have bet on Hearts! Mole and Glen up front should work well, so I think we'll win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winston churchill Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Zaliukas is playing. That could explain it. plus an unfit glen and mole up front,so another hearts nil could be on the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavsmith Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 2-0, 3-0 and 4-0 for me! I'm feeling lucky! Hearts with -1 goal start is 17/10 on Paddy Power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leginten Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hearts price on betfair has drifted from 1.34 to 1.72 in half an hour. Can anyone shed any light on this ie are we playing the kids?Or is there something more intriguing... Anyone taking Hearts even at 1.72 is a more optimistic punter than I am. I'd want twice that. The classification of tonight's game on the LiveScore site just about sums it up. http://www.livescore.com/default.dll?page=home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hearts with -1 goal start is 17/10 on Paddy Power! 0-0 is 10/1 I'm going to have a ?10 on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_T Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 0-0 is 10/1 I'm going to have a ?10 on it. Stick your money on 'No Goalscorer' then, same odds, but if an own goal goes in then you still get your money.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 1.75 is great odds. Even though we are rubbish, i still think we should be able to see off Gretna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossi_1983 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I took 1.74 Against Gretna, and with the team we have chosen, I think its good value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wibble Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Maybe the drift was because money was being put on Gretna by our players. Wouldn't be any kind of a surprise. They left it a bit late to gift them a goal, but that doesn't surprise me either that the useless huddies nearly stuffed up throwing a match.

jambos are go! Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Your unlikely to become a millionaire betting on Hearts to lose on the exchanges. The layers/bookies are not stupid you know and bets are likely to only amount to a few thousands rather than milllions. Attempts to suggest anybody is makinga mint are just stupid. Rigging an Indian Cricket match with millions bet on it maybe - but Hearts c'mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FORTHCLYDE Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 About 1965 some English footballers were jailed for deliberately losing to benefit a betting ring. Were some Hearts players doing the same last night? Let's hope so, they more Hearts players put in the pokey the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Zaliukas is playing. That could explain it. I was so uninterested in last night's match i flicked on the radio at full time, just in time to hear skelton score. Then, in summing up, the commentator said, "things got worse for hearts when zaliukas was stretchered off with a head knock." all i could think about was how, ever, that could be described as a bad thing for hearts.

Toxteth O'Grady Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 "If you were a betting man, you'd have bet on that tonight the way things have gone this season."

Famous Hearts Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 This was kind at what I was hinting at last night. http://www.hearts.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=109521 I think the change in price would be described as strange betting patterns by the bookies though the amount matched was only around 100K and not the amount of cash previously involved in rigged matches eg Accrington v Bury a couple of weeks ago.(which has to be proved admittedly. However as the writer of the column suggests it would explain a lot of the strange selection decisions over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
