there is a coorelation though..........

that should be obvious.....a lot of the larger odds are rounded, 4K t0 1 is pretty much the same as 6k to 1 when looking at actual % chances......
Most of these long shot odds are where bookies make a lot of their profits....... true odds on stoke to win the league are almsot zero..... its basically free money for the bookies.

We are 5th favourites to be relegated (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 13, 15:24:04
- And therefore also 16th favourites to win the league? (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 13, 15:25:42
  - That would be a totally incorrect conclusion to make (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 13, 15:29:23
    - And why is that then? If we are 5th favourites to get relegated why are we not also 16th (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 13, 15:33:37
      - There isn't a strict correlation (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 13, 15:41:21
        
        So basically the sample size isn't big enough (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 13, 17:28:41

        That's why I said strict (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 13, 15:56:52
