For example the bookies say Schalke have as much chance of qualifying as Spurs do, and Schalke are the worst team left in the competition.

United and Chelsea are both around evens because that's what odds of a closely matched tie is.

Spurs are underdogs, but not massively. Every 1 in 3 times they will beat Real Madrid.....I think that's not too bad. Better than the odds many teams overcome in the Premier League on a fairly regular basis.

Schalke are the worst team, but Inter aren't as good as Madrid. Schalke against Madrid would have much worse odds than Spurs.

No, because there's nothing clueless about this. How 3/1 is massive underdogs is beyond me.

1 in 3? It's 1 in 4.

.......... if you're 3/1 to qualify then 1 out of 3 times you qualify.....

For 1 in 4 it'd be 4/1.....

Whatever, like I said this mixture of fractions and decimals is confusing me.

Not that it makes a difference to the topic. You can't get 3/1 odds anyway the very best you can get is 14/5 and the worst is 7/4.

Anyway, fuck the odds, fuck all this silly talk of who's getting their odds mixed up......the point if that I'd say Spurs going through 1 in 4 times is underrating them.

I don't care about this point, because it's not relevant at all. Fractions, meanings of words.....it's not important what's important is the footballing opinion.

It's easy to sort out. I don't have to explain myself 1000000 times, if people want to be stubborn and ruin the thread then that's their fault not mine.
