I was just sitting at one betting shop yesterday watching how odds keep changing. I think those bookmakers are just too smart

. Before the match started, everything looked balanced. Once people start betting on one team, they will quickly adjust the odds. Sometimes I feel like they know the outcome of the match through the bettors behavior. This thing is not ordinary maths like they made it look. There is something else behind it.
