Last year, Betfair loaded all players onto the MVP market. This year, despite having three total points markets, two individual points markets, and seemingly having a market for everything they restrict the market to 24 players, and don't even include all starters?

I always go for the outsider. Yes, it is a QB driven vote, but it is very easy to imagine one of the talented defenders on show coming up with two impact plays, scoring a TD, and being the MVP.
Yes, I am looking at Haloti Ngata, Darnel Ellerbe, Paul Kruger, Donte Whitner, Carlos Rogers and Navorrow Bowman. The MVP is not a lifetime award so Ray Lewis at 10/1 in comparison to the others is humourous. Alternatively, I think Alex Smith could even be worth a couple of quid. If Kaepernick got injured and Smith came in, he would rocket to MVP favourite. The chance of Kaepernick getting injured is what, 50 to 100 / 1? How Betfair can exclude starting defenders and include Ed Dickson and LaQuan Williams baffles me. |

No team takes more deep shots than the Ravens. With running likely to be difficult against the 49ers defense I think that Torrey Smith at 40/1 with Laddies for MVP has to be a bet.
Also Terrell Suggs at 100/1. He's finally healthy and can bring pressure off the edge. He will be a key to containing Kaepernick. On the 49ers side, Vernon Davis at 28/1. He's a deep threat at tight end who can put someserious pressure on Baltimore's suspect safeties. On defense Dashon Goldson could be worth a punt at 250/1. He's a serious hitter who could have some highlight plays versus both the run and pass. If he manages to get a pick he will come into consideration for the MVP. |

Agree the 10/1 is ridiculous...I just dont see them gifting him an MVP just because he is retiring and goes down as one of the greats....but the 66/1 was worth a small bet  a pick 6 would at a big moment in the game would give him it |

12 more players added at ridiculous prices. When kickers are at 200, to have some key defensive players at 400 is ludicrous.

Suggs even if he isn't healthy, probably is the best defensive player to back...DPOY last year because he can get to the QB AND force turnovers...2 sack, 2 forced fumble game...

I am stunned ray lewis is as short as 13/2..I backed him for a laugh at 66/1...this is crazy
|

By:
rather back ed reed at 66/1 now they are in the superbowl
|
|
By:
well say a quite low scoring game, Lewis lead with tackle and one turnover would probably do it! the love for Ray is ridiculous

interesting that Ray rice - baltimores best offensive player is 13s

I make P Kruger the best defensive player on the pitch so at 400 is a fun bet
A Boldin and T Smith are both live bets but tbh in order for them to be in the hunt Flacco has to have a great day and they will then give it to Flacco so no real value in this market tbh It's a fun bet market unless you smash into a QB or RB but Rice will split time and the ravens will be out to stop Gore and make CK beat them through the air. Suggs might be quiet tonight as he will have to play the Edge strong and keep contain against the read option so he won't be pinning his ears back, if he does the 49'ers will run the read option at him all night and the Ravens will lose so the Ravens will be forced to play a read and react D ( soft if you like ) Kruger 400 Akers 310 Ed Reed 80 |

By:
Just added Patrick Willis 100
Could be all over the field vs the Read option as he has the speed to run it down and the Ravens D should be schemed to force that play inside |

The defensive players Betfair added this afternoon are phenominal value. Ngata at 1000? Same with Goldson, Rogers and Whitner. If they INT and return Flacco to the house...
Meanwhile, kickers are 300 and back up running backs and third WR are double figures. |

still think they will go with flacco

Both Jones touchdowns required a lot of skill and imagination , as opposed to simply catching the ball. He should have got it IMO

Well done Harry, great call,

still seething at my Jacoby Jones bet

If it was a 7-0 win and jacoby jones TD was the difference I could see why you would be fuming...QB with 3 TDs in a superbowl..never in doubt

Jones the only player to score a kick off return touchdown and a receiving touchdown
longest play in the superbowl record most all purpose yards etc |
