Let's say someone bets £100@1.01. If it comes in, then they make £1 and pay 5p commish. If the bet loses, then the layer makes £100 and pays £5 commish.

Report ror April 18, 2012 9:36 PM BST
The shorter the odds, the more gets matched for the same liabilities. Another way to think of this is that commission isn't paid on net winnings, it's paid on losing bets. (These two must be equal because of the exchange model.) If you express it in that terms it's easy to see why more commission is paid if the heavily backed team loses. Commission is paid on the losing bet between it going from the loser to the winner.

Oh dear, some mugs never learn. I promise you Chelsea will be just as tough to break down next week. These aren't a bunch of kids, these are battle hardened fully experienced players. They wont care about the 100,000 screaming Catalans.

You could hardly expect chelsea to score in this game too looking at the match, but it happened. Everybody plays like that against Barca, and almost every game someone scores a counter against them.

You hype merchants are still at it !! Have no love for Chelsea but one early ball over the top of a piss poor defence in the second leg and the game is all over.You can pass the ball around all you like but if the opposition can tackle then you will be limited in your chances.

Once again I will state that if Messi played in the Premiership he would be nowhere near the best player and that is in a League that has had its worst standard of football for years.
