Jase82 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season I might be totally wrong, but I think it would be very difficult for a normal person to start spreading rumours, unless you have a big amount of cash and you stake that big amount to catch people's attention. That would be way too risky. What about if they had a betting syndicate? Probably a lot easier with a whole group of people, all with one common goal?

My point is that, a normal man-on-the-street, can't do that. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relf Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season Frosinone v Modena appears to be another one egding toward a draw. Not surprisingly, all these teams are lying in the mid-table region. However, there are 12 more games to go, so safety is definitely not certain in their relegation battle. The truth will unfold in a couple of hours! :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relf Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season Again? I doubt so... Might consider laying the draw when the odds are good! For some people, I guess it's another opportunity to earn profits through backing and laying exchanges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrhead73 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season Me too Re;f, got on at Betfair at odds of 2, hopefully after a few rumours generate this will be under 1.8 by Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relf Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season Sorry if this sounds overdue, but I was reading the match report between Chievo/Catania on Soccernet and here was what's written: "However, they soon had their equaliser when Lopez went down under a challenge in the area and the Argentinian dusted himself down to fire Catania level 15 minutes from time." Under a challenge? A ghost on the field? LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagaspuds Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season This is a disgrace, Chievo & Parma just finished a scoreless draw. Odds for draw were 2.84 at start, should have been around 3.5. As a supporter, why even bother going to these matches Puke football, indeed:puke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relf Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season The draw for Catania vs Palermo is at 2.10 at Bet365. More than 150k are matched at Betfair, which is significantly more than the rest of the other matches. Palermo is currently 4th in the table, even with an away record of 3-4-8, would they play for a draw? Puzzles me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grex Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season (quote) He received a £16,000 fine last month for claiming "everything was done for us not to win" following a 2-0 defeat of AC Milan, a game in which Inter had two players sent off. (unquote) (quote) Reports in Italy suggested referees were prepared to go on strike if Mourinho was not given a severe punishment. (unquote) I believe it's the referees who should be given a "severe punishment", not Mourinho :tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybe Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season My sister had an Italian boyfriend. He always said that the Mafia controlled many of the games in Serie A for their betting purposes. I don't know whether they did or not but it makes you wonder. The English and German games may be less technically skillful and imaginative than the Italian, Spanish, Argentinian, Brazilian etc but at least they are honest.

relf Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season :welcome to PL, Maybe! Yes, I think everyone of us are more or less sure that the Mafia has something to do with this. This season it seems that the Mafia likes Chievo and Catania slightly more than others. :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybe Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season I don't mind the Mafia fixing games, so long as they email me in advance ! :lol Anyway, the bookies have their own mafia, so we punters should have our's.

AFK7 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season Its real name is "tactico accordo". Agreed tactics. Often not discussed but just accepted particularly if there is little or no bad history/blood between the teams. Staying in Serie A means big renewed contracts. Been going on for years. Dont follow the money blindly, look for reasons or wait till in-play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grex Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season .... so, "tactico accordo" it is then (sounds much nicer than "fixed") ;) Bet365 draw odds on Catania-Palermo seem to have stabilised at 2.0.... but there is still a huge amount of interest in the draw on BetFair..... over 95% of the 1X2 matched money is on the draw :loon By the way, I think France League 2 is also getting in on the act. Some of the big bookies closed their books on this evening´s match between Ajaccio and Bastia (both Corsican teams apparently on good terms). There was also huge money changing hands on the exchanges. Ajaccio were 12th in the league, Bastia fighting against relegation and... guess what.... Ajaccio 0-1 Bastia.... don´t you just love the French :clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grex Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season ... there were 14 teams involved in the above 1-1 draws..... of the previous 10 games involving these teams (i.e. a total of 140 matches), only 15% ended 1-1.

relf Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Re: Italian Serie A Silly Season Match spotted: Bologna vs Lazio. Bet365 have stopped offering the odds. Betfair is having them as low as 1.77. Bologna is 16th, 4 points above the relegation zone. Lazio is 17th, 3 points above the relegation zone. With 18th-placed Atalanta facing Roma this weekend, a draw would be beneficial to both clubs.
