Thread: SkyBet now have Bale at 8/15 on to join 'any MLS club'...

    SkyBet now have Bale at 8/15 on to join 'any MLS club'...

    WOL report that seems to have gone under the radar:

    https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...-city-24273607

    A few other bookmakers have followed Skybet but Oddschecker are still showing a number of big companies have Cardiff as his next destination:

    I don't get SkyBet's logic on this one unless they've taken money or heard a whisper that Miami or another east coast team are sniffing around the Wales captain.

    It's been reported that Bale is interested in MLS but it doesn't ring true for me. On the other hand has he ever previously shown interest in coaching - which seems to be what City are offering?

    MLS is a poor standard, miles away from his world cup prep and the pay doesn't make up for it. Tbf getafe went to odds on when their chairman had an episode in public and said they were offered bale.

    Shirley, as manager, Morison should know what’s going on behind the scenes, so as he can prepare properly for the coming season ?

    You have fallen for the WOL bluster. Its not City that has made the coaching offer to Bale and Ramsey, it is the Welsh FA. WOL have deliberately worded the headline to infer City are involved in this but if you read the main article fully, the correct situation becomes clearer. Journalistic licence ?

    I'd love to see how much the bookies make on these markets. I'm sure they make sure that at least 4 different options are heavily odds on at different times.

    Hopefully Gareth will be back from his hols soon and put us all out of our misery unless he gets six months jail for pissing in the sea in Spain 😂

    MLS season goes from Oct-Feb, useless for getting him fit for the WC

    Ah well... so that's it then.

    It was a beautiful dream while it lasted, but now time to move on.

    The bookies are never wrong!

    Wales - Golf - DC United!

    Feb to October! It ends in October, so I really don't see the logic in this.

    Re: SkyBet now have Bale at 8/15 on to join 'any MLS club'...

    And we're back to being favourites... 1/3 on.

    Oh and Ramsey into 4/9.

    Of course we are... I think any bets on a market like this are going to affect the odds heavily.

    So if he goes to dc United and they loan him to the Jack's - makes sense now and didn't bale say his next move would cause carnage?

    Thats that sorted then 😂👍

    You're right Welshlad, SkyBet now going 2/5 on Cardiff and 2/1 against MLS.

    Some shenanigans going on this morning - did someone manipulate the betting somehow to get a decent price on City?

    The same “bookies are never wrong” that have had us as favourites for months?

    I doubt that. A lot of League One players do very well when they go over.

    I very much doubt it. Bookmakers take no risks with markets like this. Stakes are usually severely limited to avoid any kind of sting by insiders.

    Skybet now have Bale at 4/6 to join City, while Ramsey is 4/9.

    The latter situation is particularly interesting. Following his flop at Rangers and given his injury record, what kind of clubs would be seriously interested in Ramsey if he could manage to get himself paid off by Juventus? The bookies appear to be struggling for realistic contenders.

    Good shout. His injury record isn't going to inspire most Premier League clubs, and it's very doubtful that the back end of his career is going to improve in terms of match fitness. There are players who can no longer play a whole season, but their contribution over 12 15 games with sub appearances dotted in between can make a huge difference. Ramsey isn't one of those players, in fact, i wouldn't even call him a 'winner' as a top class footballer.
