Because you cant get .5 of a goal so it obviously means you have to get 1 more

Makes no sense whatsoever.

I'd guess it's something to do with handicaps.

Over 6.5 now 9/4
Over 7.5 now 8/1

murpho999

Spartak winning 3-1 now

It's always the way with those bets, so you can't score exactly that amount of goals.

3-1 in Moscow

Sevilla being put to the sword in moscow

Why not say 7 goals or more, or 8 or more?

I believe it's just there purely for absolute clarity in the wording of the bet.

Guy:Incognito

Jesus, 3-1 to spartak

Or over 10 corners is 12/5

Arguing about how bookies frame markets - must be a good sign.

Yeah... since that fifth went in, it's really died out.

No nothing to do with handicaps (unless your talking about the bookmaker themselves)

Some bets can often be a little confusing with wording.

for example - Liverpool more than 4 goals

Does that mean 4 goals or 5??

But writing - Liverpool over 4.5 goals makes it clear and definite.

That is probably a poor example but there are loads of bets that might not be obvious in meaning to unseasoned punters. So precision in wording is necessary.

I mean if it says (and it does) over 4.5 goals then you cant exactly, not know what they are on about

~Rebel~

Oof, Ox really had the chance there to open his account. Probably should have put that away.

And here was me thinking they'd only score 4.5 ......

yeah, and it also helps for shorthand in advertising bets... for instance 6+ goals could easily be taken as "6 or more", or as "more than 6". Whereas 5.5+ can only mean "6 or more".

And they are supposed to be rubbish.

How in the fvck did Spartak draw with Maribor?

Absolute muck!

Poor Ox is pure Tox at the moment

Harry Palmr

****ing game has gone to pot - Sturridge and Ox-Cham are rubbish

FixdePitchmark

A bit of a mad crazy idea came into my head.

Could pool win the champions league and save our season.

Sorry lads just got a 2005 flashback.

Wow The Ox!!

Go on the Ox

IN fairness to Daniel Son that was class.

murpho999

Delighted for Oxlade Chamberlain.

Unlike some I'd like him to do well for us.

johnpatrick81

Wehey!!! Perfect!

He really needs to just calm down a bit... always trying to force things.

Both involved. But they were still crap to be fair. Happy days

Harry Palmr

I'm annoyed that Klopp clearly (?) isn't aware of the 8-0, he really should be using games like this to set records and boost the teams confidence.

7-0 OG

There is a dying wasp in the commentary position.

Stevecw

The 8 is on now anyway!

I think after spending that much money on him, we'd all love to see him do well for us

Why is stoppage time always shorter when teams get hammered?

Francie Barrett

About time we totally smashed a team up in this way.

murpho999

Good comprehensive 7.5 to 0.5 win there.

Marty Bird

Get in !

No point inflicting more pain on the team.

FixdePitchmark

I'm being positive - but we could catch European teams a bit more than domestically.

In premier league we are sussed.

Wtf is going on with seville

5-1 in Moscow

But is not all set by rules. 30 seconds for goal, sub etc.

Imagine if Liverpool were chasing down a score for in a final group game, needing to win 8 nil to go through for example.

Look you are technically right , but human nature and subjectivity comes into it.

It shouldn't but it does.

It wasn't last game - he went up to what 1:56 or so ?

shamrock55

Anyone get their free money for the +6.5goals??

It maybe different if there is something riding on the team needing so many goals.

But since it is head to head then that is very unlikely

Is that + or - though cos that could mean 8-1 or 7-0

Poor post. All Liverpool fans want him to do well, lots though don't think he will do.

I've been critical of him, but he did well in his few minutes against Utd, much more impressed with that than him finishing this tonight, although happy that he did as it might give him confidence. It's still early for him, but I can't see him getting a starting berth regularly unless were bad with injuries.
