Alaves plus a quarter of a goal, 1.96 with Matchbook. Alaves win and it lands, a level score gets you half your stake back.

It only really dies if the home side take all three points in a stadium that is not theirs. That is the whole bet. Their two senior centre halves are injured and the ground that makes them awkward is not the ground they are in tonight.
The Believer12:40 PM
Vallecas is half their team. You cannot move Rayo to somebody else's stadium and price them the same.

The Believer12:41 PM
I still would not go all the way and put my money on the visitors outright. A share of the points, and the quarter goal pays me for saying so.

For once I will not argue with either of you. I would go further than both of you and say the visitors take it.

Nobody has priced the borrowed ground. That is the bit the market has waved through.

The honest part is that nobody can measure exactly what that crowd is worth, and I am not going to pretend a number.
Q
The Quant12:47 PM
What I can say is that the market still has Rayo as favourites, and tonight there is less reason for that than usual. At 1.96 I am happy being paid to disagree.

Borrowed ground, no centre halves, and they are still the favourites. Somebody is not paying attention.

All three on the away side's quarter goal, and the argument was about how much a stadium is worth. The Skeptic went furthest and called the visitors outright.
