No, because the outcome is fixed in time. It just gave us some insight into what that outcome will probably be (the outcome might still be that Contador beats Froome - but as I said it has no relation with what happened today)Valv.Piti said:LaFlorecita said:And that is why those bettings odds mean nothing.Valv.Piti said:From 3,50 to 5,50.
Was he likelier to win the tour yesterday than he is today? No. The outcome is fixed in time. The likelihood is fixed in time. Nothing that happens right now will chance that except for crashes and illness.
In short, nobody should care.
So you din't think it was more likely for Contador to win prior to the smackdown by Froome?

Isn't there a betting thread?

The drop in probability for Contador to win the Tour is very much concerned Contador, so I figured this was the right place to post it

Sure it wasn't perfect today, but at least he is getting some racing speed in his legs. There is still a month before the Tour hits the mountains, so he has some time to tune the intensity level of his training. I won't stop believing in him, only if he loses significant time on Arcalis.

5000/1, mind that's lower than the odds on valv.piti going a day without mentioning betting in some form on here![]()
Exactly that's what I was trying to sayRed Rick said:Betting is a game of incomplete information. Now there's more information, so ofcourse the odds change. His chances of winning don't really.

5000/1, to put that into context, the best price you can get on Cavendish winning the Tour at the moment is 3500/1![]()
Contador is still only 4/1. They won't change his price much as im sure he will be much better in a few weeks.
