    How The Bookies Price The Final

    Cup final odds, courtesy of Bet365;

    90mins - Hibs 2/1, draw 9/4, Freaks 5/4

    Outright - Hibs 5/4, Freaks 4/7

    The way they're going on, I thought they'd be a 1/20 chance!

    Yep closer than I thought it might have been. Obviously the bookies know that this can go either way and there is going to be next to nothing in this game.

    We were as low as 12/5 on William Hill the last time I checked.

    2/1 is lower than 12/5.

    I didn't mean "low" as in lower odds.

    I meant lower as in they are giving us a lower chance of beating them.

    I'll be having the same bet I had in 2007....£10 e/w on the Hibs captain for 1st goal.

    The real insurance bet would have been taking Hearts to win the cup on Sunday morning, you'd have got about 6/1.

    Worth also remembering that four of their current unbeaten run against us have been draws as well. Just needs Hibs to actually step up and compete this time, and no doubt they will.

    Forget about insurance bets.

    Any Hibby that dares to put money on Hearts while we're still in the competition should be well and truly ashamed.

    Nonsense. It's how people react to various eventualities. If someone goes to Hampden believing Hibs will win and supports them in that manner, they've done their job. If they've also decided that it's worth losing a certain amount of money that would help them drink and numb the pain away should the day not go to plan, it doesn't make a blind bit of difference.

    Betting against your team because the odds are stacked against them is a loser mentality.

    I won't be trying to find ways to "numb the pain", because they'll be no pain to numb.

    We're going to win this!

    if they're going to win it, wouldn't you rather make some money out of it?

    how much would you effectively pay to see hibs beat hearts in the scottish cup final? £500? £1000? you could stick that on hearts. if hibs win, then hey, fantastic, you paid for it and it'll be the greatest day of your life (probably). if the unthinkable happens, and hearts win, then you've at least got a small consolation.

    If its "unthinkable", then why are you thinking about it?

    Its that "what if they beat us" fear, that sets us back against them time and time again.

    On bet365 at HT on Sunday, Hearts were 7/1 to win that game! crazy.
    I was tempted to bet it, but didn't....

    Decided to watch the 2 semi finals without any money stuck on them.

    How does that work? E/W for a goalscorer

    Each way terms are usually 1/3 of the odds but how many places depends on the individual bookie, they go from 3 places to any amount of scorers.

    I'm sticking a couple hundred on Hibs. I'm confident and hopefully it will shut up the Hearts ****ers who frequent my local who think i'm taking the piss when I say Hibs will do their mob in the Final.
