On Bet 365 he is 14/1 the same as Shaun Murphy even Ding is 16/1

Can't lie those odds are probably still justified, he's looking good.

From what I can gather from years of watching snooker on their site, they very likely don't have any human input in deciding odds, I think those days are gone.

I would speculate that they just use an AI database that gets fed stats and information.

initial odds would be based largely on statistical models yes. but once open it will be driven by the market participants based on all available information. bookies just act as market makers, and set odds to guarantee profit whatever the outcome, essentially taking a commission from all the bets placed across the market. if the money is backing zhao then his odds will shorten until an equilibrium is met, a bookie not responding to those market signals will not be a bookie for long.

Yes, and all those adjustments are likely done by the computers now.

Going to have a tenner on it?

I was going to lay a bet down but those odds are well stingy, he's not even qualified yet and he's right up there between Murphy and Hawkins

What a joke.
