English Football 2016-2017: NOW WITH 100% LESS FANERIO - Page 9 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

My 19yo son and I are about to make our annual Spurs-Everton season-long bet.

What would be a fair handicap?

My son wants +23 points as that was the season-ending margin.

I'm thinking Everton approves a bit this season, and Spurs should stay about the same, or even regress a few points. Thinking +18 is a more reasonable spread.

Any thoughts on what the proper number should be?

Guess it depends on the point of the bet. If it is to have a fun sweat and something to banter and bond over with your son, then +23 seems fine. If the objective is to find the best possible means to take the kid's money, then by all means, line shop away.

I read that and found it very amusing. Has previous after he called the cops when out of his head and they found him armed with a knife and meat cleaver.

Nutcase lol.

Fixtures out for the football league, jokers putting two of the away games I wanted to go to midweek and a third when I already have plans, doubt I can get from the Valley to Manchester in three hours

Stan Petrov joining up with the Villa squad for preseason. When I seen the headline I thought it'd be a coaching role but he wants to earn a playing contract.

Best of luck to him.

Remain still two thirds-ish favourites. But there was a time when the odds were down to like 1.10

The whole outcome is on London here and possibly Birmingham.

Remain's hit 1.06 btw, now 1.57.
