What if a lower league football team is in the process of a takeover? Or at risk of going into administration and being docked points?

It takes time and effort though to be staying on top of player coming and goings in order to keep the odds reasonably accurate and the market doesn't justify it for RL below SL. Skybet is the same (only odds for SL, CC, NRL and SOO currently) and always has been. Championship/L1 market will usually open in the new year a few weeks before round 1, once everyone has squad numbers out so it's quicker for odds setters to get a feel for the teams.
ivans82 Posted November 23, 2024 Posted November 23, 2024 All the bookies are as bad as one another regarding Rugby League betting .during the season it`s nigh on impossible to get odds on div 1 RL until about 1300hrs on match day , and even then they have to phone head office as odds aren`t readily available .Championship games are a little easier but not much..................and yet you can get odds on 4th tier Scottish football from mid week .

More people watch 4th tier Scottish football I would assume.

It's not going anywhere for some time yet. As for the original point, I imagine that the volume of bets being brought in from RL is tiny - not enough to employ a dedicated trader. The odds will just be bought in from a third party at most bookies. No, biggest is Green energy

To be fair that's down to team news on the day . In a semi professional league , players may be unavailable due to work commitments and this can sometimes change on the day of the game . Bookmakers will want to wait until starting 13/17 are announced whenever possible.

Yes , it is different as the odds are worked out to a certain percentage . Taking one team out will change all of that , especially if the team to be taken out of the betting are one of the favourites for the Comp , if you see what I mean . It's not as much of a problem if it's positive news ie a takeover as the chances are that team's price is only going to shorten if the takeover is successful , and so you can just suspend their price if necessary, however if it is negative news then that will affect the rest of the market (odds) . For example , we have Wigan at 6/4 to win GF (William Hill , other bookies are available) , which represents a 40% chance . If they were to have some kind of potential points deduction that could take them out of the play-offs , then it wouldn't be as simple as suspending their price , as you would have to take the 40% and re-distribute it proprtionally to the other teams prices and form a new book (set of prices) .
