Sidey firms from 100/1 in Brownlow markets.

I thought his odds would tumble, after last night's match, so, I went into my Crown account, hoping I could still get on, at value. He was paying $101 for a dollar. I jumped on. Smile

Checked, just now, and he's still $101. Polled 14 votes, last season.

Oh, and another young bloke is also on $101 - one B. Grundy.

$67 - Pendles & Treloar.

Trouble is, Grundy and Sidey take votes off each other. Regularly.

Apparently he is still 200:1 to make All Australian squad

He should have won gthe Norm Smith in the GF draw exxcept they discarded 2 voters who gave him 3 and included 2 who gave him none. Cost me 800 bucks.

The odds have not changed yet on Crownbet due to their 'price freeze' promotion. They will shorten on Monday. Thanks for the heads up though, I placed a tenner on each (Sidey and Grundy) Wink

Will be interesting to see by how much Sidey tightens, tomorrow, with quite a few jumping on the !00/1.

The odds makers aren't stupid they go by history and I other factors when setting the prices

Sidey has never been a huge vote getter in the Brownlow
His best return was last season with 14 votes some 22 votes behind the winner
He's playing in a side were Grundy and Pendles will take votes off him along with the random very good game by a team mate
Also we weren't at short odds to make the 8 and history says guys playing in sides that lose more games than they win struggle to get consistent 3 votes.
Finally the media pump up players time and again and try to declare a winner by round 6 to make themselves look like geniuses. Problem with this is the umpires follow suit giving out votes to the media darlings (think Tom Mitchell already)
I would love to see a Collingwood player win the Charlie just can't see it happening this season unless several other players go down injured or are suspended
I would have Sidey on 5 maybe 6 votes so far.
There talking Mitchell already in double figures along with Martin
It's a long season so those who who took the big odds good luck

Mitchell and Martin are about 3/1 on Crown, with D'field on 6/1 and Fyfe paying $9.

"The odds makers aren't stupid they go by history and I other factors when setting the prices"

As far as I know, weight of money (or lack of) determines the odds. It's not their (Crown, Bet 365 etc) opinion. They're not punters. Smile

Sidey tumbled in (from 100/1 to 40/1) because fans wagered on him, 1. because they think he can win and, 2. because the 100/1 was simply worth a punt.
