Thanks. I said before when England were around 30/2 or 3 or whatever that they were over-priced. I meant that their odds were too skinny, over-priced as in costing too much to buy.

From further up..

Just my tuppence worth (and not how most of the more vocal people on here seem to think) but the way you say it makes much better sense. However, most forumites seem to  use "odds" and "price" fairly interchangeably as if they were the same thing, rather than being inverses of each other (assuming they are backers, which is usually the case when not mentioned).

A good example is T3's reply "overpriced = over the price you think it should be" - that to me is still very ambiguous. I assume he means the odds are longer than they should be, but someone could also read that to mean the price is more expensive than it should be (i.e. too short for a backer).


I much prefer when people say "the odds are (too) short/long" - there's no room for misinterpretation there.

Think it depends on your background.
In a financial sense or from a financial market background, then Overpriced would make more sense as meaning "Costs more than it should".
If you have more of a gambling background and grew up on odds, its always been used as the odds are too high
