Market is is football /  premier league/ head to head.  Rules as follows:

Who will win this Head-to-Head League?

Only results between Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Everton, Blackburn, Bolton and Wigan within the Premier League count. The usual 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss applies. In the event of a tie on points Goal Difference within this head-to-head league will count. If there is still a tie dead heat rules will apply.

tippingtim,

just done a quick tot up on the points as per the rules.

Currently this is how it looks:

Man Utd:  Played 8, Won 5, Drawn 1, lost 2 , pts = 16
Man City: played 11, won 9, Drawn 1, Lost 1, pts = 28

Man Utd can only match City on points if they win all of their remaining games.

Then goal difference would come into it which without adding it up looks to be strongly in City's favour

right thanks berto so i take it man city are miles ahead on that at the mo hence the price of united. ive just had 15 quid on united looks like i may have done me money.

   betfair should have explained it better me thinks, oh well stranger things have happened. is there any north west league table i could have a look at do u know? thanks by the way

Fairfranco has shown why the odds are as they are.  Lay it straight back tippingtim.  You shouldn't lose much.

Basically, United would have to thrash City at the Etihad and win their other games.

Goal differene is:

Man Utd = 9
Man City = 23

3 of Utd's 4 games are away from home, the home one is against Everton.  One of them is away to City.

If you think that 16.5 is a good price for them to win all of those games and overturn a 14 goal difference defecit then go for it!

Saying that berto they do have the 3 easier games first starting with Blackburn and Wigan.

Utd don't exactly bang the goals in away from home normally but if there's always a chance they could clock up goals against those 2.

Everton at Goodison isn't always a happy place for Utd but they have also been known to beat us by 2 or 3 goals at times.

clock 10 or 11 positive from those 3 games and you might have a trade...probably not really worth the effort for all of that!
Report fairfranco • March 7, 2012 10:38 AM GMT
actually i'm talking rubbish, if they still needed 3 goal's from the city game that would probably be 12+ on the handicap markets anyway for that game!

and then after all that you'd probably end up with a bloody dead heat!

Nice try but make sure you check the rules before shooting your load
