Crabs will do very well to score a point in this game. If conditions are dry, I'd be betting on a 50 point margin at least for the Spartans.
Should have put out the reserves for this one. Reckon we'd still be favourites... In fact with all available reserves playing (Scottie injured, Webber playing out of position) Spartans $1.62, Crabs $2.07. And with Scottie instead of me... $1.68/$1.98
Why are the draw odds 56:1 here and a meager 20:1 in the other thread? Surely there isn't that much of a swing.
Yeah, there is. One of the other games is pretty closely matched. There's basically no chance of this game being a draw unless the Spartans get ravaged by injuries early in the game and conditions are wet. Pretty slim, so the odds are pushed right out.
