It's easy to see how everybody gets whipped into a free-money-frenzy backing Bournemouth at home to Sunderland but don't see the same effect occurring away at Stoke.
The market has a way of dealing with trends like "Bournemouth price always shortens immediately prior to kick off" so they don't persist forever. If people like you are noticing the Asian money going on Bournemouth in the run up to kick off, then the current price could be an over-adjustment based upon anticipated Asian monies. The price could drift if it doesn't arrive at the expected level.
All speculation of course but when I look at that price, I think the reasons people are up on Bournemouth and down on Stoke are already reflected, otherwise Stoke would be bigger favourites. Could be wrong but I only see the line moving significantly in response to lineup announcements.
