Anyone who's ever bet on anything should see something wrong with the odds shown here to win the Scottish premiership. This is not a new thing, as it's bothered me for year after of the game. I've even shown it to a bookie who flat out laughed and said he'd go bankrupt in a year offering odds like that. You cannot have one team at 1/3 on, that's a 66% chance of winning the title, and then have two teams right behind them at evens with a 50% chance of winning. It's not mathematically possible.
In reality, the odds are these: Scottish Premiership Winner Odds | Football Betting | Oddschecker
I've seen some divisions in the game over the years where the odds aren't terrible looking, mainly because there's no clear favourite, but still not based on statistical math. I can't quite understand how they get the numbers they do. Isn't it time SI got this right?
