The Goat:
The Bale has 'asked to leave' bollocks all began at Talksport and one person in particular. His sources are shaky at best with only one previous piece of ITK ever coming to fruition. He is often given information by agents, but isn't smart enough to realise when said agents are being self serving. Bale may well have had a meeting, but there is no way in hell that the person at Talksport was privvy to it's content.

Odds are back in to 4/7 to leave and 2/1 to stay.
Those of you who backed him to stay at 4/1 are looking good.

28/1 on Paddy Power to win the league worth a punt, 15/8 top four finish.
40/1 on Coral to win the league defo worth a punt.
damn it. I was going to do this but couldn't be arsed last night. Figured it wouldnt change that much. I guess I'll hvae to wait for the next flurry of Marca crap.
The main bookies have stopped taking bets on this, looks like they all got fooled,

Looks like odds are the new ITK.....
Couldn't it also mean that they are so certain he will leave that they have stopped taking bets on it? I don't gamble so I'm probably talking shit as usual. I hope so anyway.
JJetshit on SC saying he's still being told Bale will leave.
Thing is that the odds for him staying went from ~5-1 in the morning to ~2-1 later in the day - so if they're certain of anything it's that he is staying.
If they were certain he was going to leave they'd love people to be throwing money on him staying.
Huge change in the markets for "Gareth Bale Club After Summer Transfer Window Betting Odds" since this afternoon. At this moment in time the only bookmaker offering the bet is Sky Bet. This would indicate to me that the industry knows something one way or the other. Normal behaviour if they still thought he was leaving would be to slash the prices on that but still offer increased odds for him to stay.
It's also worth noting that Real Madrid and Marca seem to have significantly decreased the onslaught we have been experiencing for the last few days. Don't be surprised if Cristiano Ronaldo signs a new contract soon and this whole saga has been conducted by Madrid with that in mind.
A few days ago I had convinced myself that Bale was leaving but I'm becoming more optimistic as the days go by.

But if they know he is going and people have been betting heavily on him leaving, wouldn't that make them withdraw the offer?
The "leaving" odds became more generous throughout the day not less generous

said it well, they'd slash (or even suspend) the odds on him leaving but try to tempt you in with decent odds on him staying.
