Paddy power odds Kerry 8/15 Draw 8/1 Mayo 2/1 As someone who hasn't a clue about betting or bookies odds does the above signify we are heavy favourites or what?

There's a bit of truth in all posters' views here I think. A win Sunday, after a tough game, will go a long way in exorcising some of the ghosts. Joe Brolly and Cavanagh will then tell us (should Kerry win) that we only beat Munster or Connaught oposition. Jack knows that the only way to silence our critics is with, League, Munster and All Ireland wins,. Back to back first and then onwards and upwards from there. I shall embrace my inner animal and state that only an All Ireland will sate me. A win on Sunday after a tough game might hopefully be a step in that direction but in and of itself will be a fleeting joy.

Paddy power odds Kerry 8/15 Draw 8/1 Mayo 2/1 The draw could be worth a few pounds! Can't see there being more than a few points between the teams

Those odds would make Kerry strong favourites.
By my calculations, it translates into an approx. 59% chance of Kerry win, 10% chance of draw, 30% chance Mayo win.
There is a missing percentage point due to rounding error.
Someone who knows only a little about odds will say, are Mayo not a 33% chance? They are according to 2/1 odds, but that difference, between this 33% and 30%, is the bookies' cut.
Without this cut, the way it works is 2/1 means that Mayo win once and not win twice... that is they win one out of three times... approx. 33%.
Similarly 8/1 on the draw means a draw once, and not a draw eight times... that is a draw once in nine games approx. 11%.
Kerry 8/15 means Kerry win 15 times and not win eight times... so they win 15/23 approx. 65% times.
It means, roughly, that if you put down €109 of bets on this match: €65 on a Kerry win, €11 on the draw, and €33 on Mayo, you will get back about €100 if Kerry win, €99 on the draw, and €99 if Mayo win.
So the bookies' cut is, in the long run, about 10% of all bets on the outcome of the match.

If you put £15 on Kerry you'll get back £23 if they win. If you put £15 on Mayo you'll get back £45 if they win.

2/1 on Mayo is a good bet to be honest as I don’t make us heavy favourites

It’s a 50 50 game, you think we have the better scoring power, but it’s croke park, so linking up back to front will be critical, we kick it, Mayo run it, should be interesting.

Is Brendan Harrison out too Yes, Harrison is definitely out, did his ACL last week. Hennelly has missed the last 2 games for Mayo and I haven't seen McLaughlin since the Sigerson, not sure what's the story with him.

Kingdomson its an interesting observation. I grew up in an era when we were Kings and always had an excuse when we lost but the reality is we are no longer the feared King and as a matter of fact many think we are the overhyped team that teams love to play against. Many think we are soft and until we win Sam we cannot argue against that. Just because we are Kerry does nt mean we are entitled to titles as Cork hurlers found out. We are in a new era where Dublin are the Kings of football and Limerick are the ki gs of hurling and until we win national titles that will not change. Maybe its the golden years team that is overhyped. Connacht went without an All Ireland for 32 years prior to 1998. They was a war in Ulster for roughly the same period. Having said that, since 2014 Kerry have lost many close games in the championship that we 'coulda shoulda' won. Have we? I can only think of 2, last year against Tyrone and the Munster SF against Cork in 2020. I'm not sure you could say we should've won any of the other games we lost. You could include the 2019 drawn game alright I suppose.

Bar 2018 also. That was some stinker vs Galway.

Thank you for explaining that Annascual, as you can tell something like Cheltenham would pass me by.

Hennelly has missed the last 2 games for Mayo and I haven't seen McLaughlin since the Sigerson, not sure what's the story with him. I've heard Diarmuid O’Connor and Paddy Durcan are doubts as well due to hamstring trouble, in fact I saw somewhere a couple of days ago claims Mayo could be without 7 or 8 including long term absentee Cillian.
How much any of that is true is any ones guess I suppose.

Eoghan McLoughlin was supposed to be out for the league after getting injured in the Sigerson but played 2 weeks later but hasn't featured since. Rumours that Cillian could have 20mins on Sunday.

Cillian is out a long long time now, he'd want to appear for them soon or you begin to think he never will appear again.

Thanks Annascaul - I’m from the same stable as TheHermit….no pun intended. I have done many laps of Fairyhouse on my jogs but very rarely for the races. Odds and betting not for me. Good explanation.
If Mayo are missing that many then we should win by a few lengths….

I take it that the naming of both teams will be released tomorrow evening, it'll give us something to chaw over for a few hours.
Any1 expect any surprises?

Would like to See O'Donoghue back, He needs experience in Croke Park. I was listening to the Ah Ref Podcast the Mayo podcast and Tim Moynihan was on the show and he was alluding to some big change in the team.. now it might have been just a joke or I took him up wrong.

He did and for some reason my mind went to Peter Crowley. Mine actually went to Tommy Walsh but I don’t see either as a good idea. Walsh might make a bit more sense as a plan b while I don’t see Crowley near any place in the backs. I still don’t think it will or should happen though, why now and not a few weeks back when whoever it is could have got league minutes? Also the positional change, I can’t think of any possibility for that. We’ve had a very successful league campaign, all this talk would suggest we’re really struggling.
