Thiago a great signing but we could do with someone to challenge the front 3.

Liverpool have immeditaely shortened by 2 or 3 ticks. They've been pretty much on the drift ever since the conclusion of last season

City are probably favourites but odds on is way too short

Iirc they were odds on before last season as well, and I felt that was too short. This season I do think it's reasonable. Because this season is what it is. Squad strength could be the absolutely key, and no other team can compete when it comes to overall squad of the first 20 or so players. Not even close imho.

Because Liverpool haven't done anything really over the last few transfer windows, getting a backup leftback and especially Thiago is as close to a marquee signing as we're going to get. Think Klopp still looking for a forward and a center back if possible in this tricky window, but not for the first team.

Cashflow big issue for LFC last couple years, can't spend much on transfers despite making loads commercially, they're apparently looking for minor investors.

Love the business that Chelsea have done with Kai Havertz, Werner, Pulisic and Zayech. It's like I'm playing Football Manager 2020 and building a team of wonderkids, I'd go for the same players, one or two of those are bound to be a superstar.

Guarani v Tigre pre-match is as volatile as a horse race!

Is there anything on the exchange you don't trade??

Used to trade these smaller games last, 10-15 mins especially, some were bonkers :D Usually the smaller the game, the volatile it can get.

Just 4 sports now. I don't get involved in politics except on this forum. :)

I was scalping the draw, laying first, when the outsider scored. Surely it was a nothing to lose lay as the price barely moved, although one person thought a draw was significantly more likely. :)

Does this usually happen when a goal's scored or is there just a trader tonight who overestimates the draw? :lol:

Not a trader but from reading snippets on these forums it seems there is usually an over-reaction when something happens in most markets.

Yep, that's how some traders try to get on the tail of a big swing trade (anticipate the 5 second delay).

A couple of wayward efforts can get a nice reward when they get it right.

Maybe a shot on target followed by a corner(s)
A set piece within shooting range
Even a potential red card if a player is on a yellow

The last two, Betfair should suspend the market, but of course, we all know that might/might not happen....

How do Wolves fans feel about Jota joining Liverpool? And for this price?

As an LFC supporter, it's potentially better for LFC than Wolves. Jota has been eye-catchingly creative. It may seem like LFC have an overload of creativity (assuming they keep Mane, Firmino and Salah) but this is going to be a densely packed season. I'm surprised Wolves have let him go, but at 23 this is surely the right move for him and credit to Wolves for recognising that.
