As far as I know different bookies are using different sources which can be out by a couple of per cent compaired with each other.
Check who they use to get their stats from first.As far as I know different bookies are using different sources which can be out by a couple of per centcompaired with each other.
Yeah Bigrob is right, looks like Hills use uefa & others use opta. Prices long gone anyway.
Over 65% now 15/8 with Hills so looks like BJG was right although that may just arbers money as well.

Billy uses UEFA and Stan uses OPTA and the differences are staggering, to say the least.
According to UEFA, Spain have only had >65% possession in one game, against Ireland when they had 66%. According to OPTA Spain had 75.9% in the same game.
The only other game so far where UEFA had one team with more than 65% was Germany against Greece. Again OPTA had Germany with 75.9% (purely coincidental IMO)
In 25 of the 28 matches so far, the team with the most possession has a higher percentage in OPTA than with UEFA. The 9.9% differential above (75.9 - 66.0) is the max difference so far.
Now I'm no possession expert but how-the-fcuk can 2 different sites be so different with their stats.
It must be to do with how they determine change of possession when the ball is out of play or something like that. So if a ball goes out for a goal kick, one site must treat possession belonging to the attacking team until the goalkeeper puts it back into play while the other must treat possession as changing hands immediately the ball goes dead.
