I can think of one really good novel from each of those premises - The Man In The High Castle, and Bring The Jubilee.

Even if you look at it selfishly, it gets you better service.

The only "gain" is the chance to flex some person's (real or imagined) importance.

Befrair odds are decimal odds, showing the return inc your stake. They are 2 way, so you can back at 70 or lay at 75.

Relegation 2.72/2.74 means if you put a tenner on you get ยฃ27.20 back (including your stake). If you lay 2.74 you get the punter's tenner if they stay up, and pay out ยฃ17.40 if not.

Eh? Winning the CL on its own is 70, so 69/1 in bookie money.

It always amazes me that clubs (mostly) seem to badly undervalue the importance of players buying in, and if a player's character more generally.

I'm sure there is but the odds will be way shorter than 2.72 x 70!

I mean, if there's *one* player in that squad who will definitely be up for it...

Relegation is 2.72/2.74 on Betfair...

CL win is 70/75.

Micky vdV is playing like he has a cheap escape clause if they go down.

Or is it that liquidity there is greater than on Polymarkets?

Postage stamp ground... not an easy task at all but 14/1 is worth backing.

One of my first bosses in the City taught me that you can infallibly tell a wrong 'un by the way they treat waiters and bar staff.

Not the point of course, but I did chuckle at the idea that own goals are deliberate...
