Bookies Odds Shortening on Michael O'Neill - 4/7 Now

[The Harp Awakes]

As of Monday night, Michael O'Neill is now 4/7 On Fav for the Hibs job. He was evens a couple of days ago so the odds have shortened.

Wouldn't be my choice but looking like a decent chance he'll be our next Manager. Good luck to him if he gets the job.

That could be a reaction to a large bet too though, have seen a few manager odds have similar shifts.

Owen Coyle'd odds to be Celtic manager went right down, mind he turned it down and McNeill prob more likely to move..,

The fact of the odds shortening does not necessarily mean that the bookies have any more info than a week ago. It simply means that more money has been put on MON and they have adjusted all their odds accordingly to kind of balance their books.

I remember how short Steve Clarke went...

Steve Clerke would have got the job if RP Had matched his wage demands

[PatHead]

Who elses odds have changed?

[Liberal Hibby]

Steve Clerke would have got the job if RP Had matched his wage demands

Which is it Steve Clerk or Steve Clerke? What were his/her wage demands and how far off were Hibs? You obviously seem to have inside information...

Shamrock Rovers Boss Set To Be Given The NodCurrent Shamrock Rovers manager Michael O'Neill has always been popular in the Next Hibs Manager Betting Odds, he was initially shortened to 3/1 from 5/1 but even the 3/1 is long gone now and the current price being offered on Michael O'Neill is 11/10 with William Hill (http://www.olbg.com/news/18225349/Next+Hibs+Manager+Odds+See+Michael+O+Neill+Backed+ Into+Short+Price.html), those Next Hibs Manager Betting Odds are slightly better than those offered by VC Bet (http://www.olbg.com/bookies.php?bk=26&pg=2&eid=18225349) and Paddy Power (http://www.olbg.com/bookies.php?bk=4&pg=2&eid=18225349) who both make Michael O'Neill an even money favourite.

Jimmy Calderwood Lined Up As First ReserveIf talks fall through with Michael O'Neill then it seems the first back up choice would have to be Jimmy Calderwood, the popular manager is the clear second favourite in the Next Hibernian Manager Odds and he can be backed at 9/2 with Paddy Power (http://www.olbg.com/bookies.php?bk=4&pg=2&eid=18225349) and is as short as 3/1 with William Hill (http://www.olbg.com/bookies.php?bk=2&pg=2&eid=18225349). The bookies can't make up their minds about a third favourite, both Billy Reed and Derek McInnes are 8/1 with VC Bet (http://www.olbg.com/bookies.php?bk=26&pg=2&eid=18225349) and Paddy Power (http://www.olbg.com/bookies.php?bk=4&pg=2&eid=18225349) at the moment.

That article is from last year, after Yogi had left.

Proving conclusively that the Bookies know squat.

They just react to the cash fans put on, if I wondered in and stuck £50 on Sir Alex Ferguson getting the job they'd probably start quoting odds for him.

[horseflesh]

Which is it Steve Clerk or Steve Clerke? What were his/her wage demands and how far off were Hibs? You obviously seem to have inside information...
I remember hearing at the time that Steve Clarke had been interviewed and had agreed to take the job,then returned the next day to sign on the dotted line to find the terms of the contrcact had been alterede slightly causing him to walk away.

[Craig_in_Prague]

Bookies know bugger all, all they do is shorten odds based on monies in and potential pay-outs, i.e. covering themselves.
Christ, they often have 1st goal scorers listed on a player that is either long term injured, or even has left the club!

I suppose what you can relate it to though (odds), is does those backing something have any knowledge........ given Hibs way of working, I can't see anyone outside the boardroom having a clue as to who is favourite.... unless of course I know someone that catches Petrie and JC having a coffee in Peebles type scenario :wink:

[TrinityHibs]

Dont know if its been covered elsewhere but a mate was golfing at Dunbar on Monday. Jumbo Jim was in the clubhouse and he confirmed that he has applied for the managers position at Hibs. Jefferies not my mate that is.

I heard, or read, somewhere that Trappatoni was verylong odds to become RoI manager. Allegedly JP Macmanus and a few of his pals got together - laid a huge bet at these odds and hey presto, Trappa' becomes Manager. The inference being the bookies have paid his wages.
