Last Saturday, after Brighton beat Liverpool, I visited the Wallington shop of Paddy Power.

They offered the following odds for our home match against Brighton.

Crystal Palace to win - 5/2
Brighton to win 1/1
Draw 12/5

Paddy power seem to think it will be a close match.

If the odds you quote above are correct then Paddy Power don't think the match will be even remotely close. The spread between 5/2 (for the home team) and evens (for the away team) is little short of vast in betting terms. Those odds reflect what they see as an "away banker".

Could be a bad day for us. I can see them winning by 3 or more, frankly. However, the transfer window may have changed things - fingers crossed. Will we score is another question? I don't think shutting up shop will work against their passing game.

Yes I read this everywhere.

5/2 is 3.5 as decimal odds so 1 divided by 3.5 is a 28% chance

1/1 evens is 2.0 as decimal odds and 1 divided by 2 is 50% chance as expected

The one that confuses people or shows them they haven’t understood odds is 2/1 being 3.0 as a decimal and a 33% chance. Not the 50% chance they think, which is indeed the 1/1 evens above. 2/1 starts to look a bit different then
