I don't know if you've already seen it, but today I saw that the schedule of this season's games was already available at stake, and I confess that I'm a little shocked by the odds, for example, Ajax will play against Heracles Almelo, the odds are at @1.16 in case ajax wins the game, honestly I see it being a very low odd and it looks like ajax will be very strong this season, I would even accept an odd of @1.60 but for some reason the bookmakers are putting ajax as the overwhelming favourite, another game that I also found strange at odds is Feyenoord's game against Fortuna Sittard, Fortuna Sittard is at odds of @14.00 while Feyenoord is at odds of @1.16 despite Feyenoord being a strong team that won the league last season
this being the first match of the league I expected that at least the odds for this and other games of the big teams would be above @1.50 but from what I see the bookmakers are very convinced that the big teams won't have difficulties in winning the games , but it seems that in the case of PSV Eindhoven
bookmakers predict a complicated scenario for PSV Eindhoven who are being seen as the favorites but the odd is at @1.29 something that I believe will increase and their opponent FC Utrecht is at odds of @8.80
the games will start on the 11th of this month, but I am already starting my analysis to bet, for now I see PSV, Feyenoord and ajax as the teams that I will place in my multibet bet, in the case of PSV I will have to be more careful and if I see that the odd has gone up a lot and there is some bad news, I will not put it in my multibet bet
At first I thought you might have made a very interesting observation here, but it really is standard and I also checked it on a bookie platform. For instance, Bayern Munich plays against Bremen away as a season opener and the odds for Bayern are 1.25 against an established Bundesliga club that plays in their home stadium.
Atletico Madrid is 1.28 in a home game against Granada.
Manchester City is 1.27 away against Burnley.
Keep in mind that in all of these games the teams are huge favorites. Heracles Almelo was just promoted to the Eredivisie and they are playing against what most would call the best team in the league and they play away from home. I think the odds are ok.
yes i saw about bayern, but what made me write this post is that in the case of bayern they are a very strong team, even when they fall in performance in the bundesliga they still manage to beat their opponents, just look at the results of the friendly games of the bayern: yesterday bayern beat liverpool, bayern despite having lost in the game against city, it was not a crushing defeat, on the contrary it was a somewhat balanced game, with manchester city having greater possession of the ball. about atlético madrid, i also see this odd @1.28 a big exaggeration in my opinion atlético madrid is not much superior to granada, in many seasons atlético madrid are unstable, it would not surprise me that in this game they have a lot of difficulties in winning
granada has been doing very well in these friendly matches, but we can't say the same about atlético madrid who, after beating manchester city, lost a draw against getafe, as for manchester city, most of the times i saw them they are a little inconsistent in the first games until the middle of the season that start to be very strong and burley is not a team to be underestimated, I see that this odd will increase during the game. now talking about ajax, if we look at the results of ajax friendly games we have the following: 5 games, 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, and in their last game they lost against a small team from the bundesliga
That's why I found it strange that the bookmakers were putting odds of @1.16 when last season ajax were a disaster and nothing guarantees that this season we won't see the same thing, and when I look at their performance in friendly matches, I don't see this odd of 1.16 as something I would feel safe to put on my parlay, and it is more likely that the value of the odd increases during the course of the game, Feyenoord lost yesterday in the cup game against PSV and from what I could see from their friendly games, they can win in their first game, and for me I see that it would be worth it to put them in my parlay
