But in another way round I also believe the statement made by versatile choice that the bookmakers can manipulate the odd in a way to decieve you to bet on the small odd perhaps the big odd has a high chance of winning. And I believe this is one of the mathematical propaganda used by this bookmakers that makes them have a house edge over the gamblers.
Yea, that's just it. For me it's 50/50. Does odds reflect reality, yes/No(50/50). Sometimes, odds play reality while so many times too, it's misleading. These odds are adjusted intentionally to deceive gamblers. You see a team with little odd as low as 1.23 odd loosing to 5.80 odd or even higher odd. So what can we say then, that odd reflects reality?? In this case, No! So many other times too, the team with the smaller odd win comfortably over the team with bigger odd, yea. That's why I said to me it's 50/50. I believe recent performance and stats of teams are considered before giving odd. So I take a look at the odd firstly, then look also at their recent performances, and then finally bring reality of football to it, anything can happen in the game of football or any other sports. Odds are real and deceptive
