Odds Law

We’re delighted to welcome a very special guest to Odds Law this week, it’s England cricket legend Stuart Broad. We’re talking to him about The Ashes, of course, but also about next summer’s World Cup and England’s hopes of success there….

It’s a racing special this week as Lola and Henry are joined by Fitzdares Trader Orlando Meyrick from across the office to set the scene for the Jumps season and a star-studded Cheltenham weekend. They serve up names to watch in the Paddy Power Gold Cup — and tackle the big questions: is Jonbon a Shloer formality, and will the Seven Barrows fax machine be whirring this weekend!?

Managerial sackings cost millions, generate headlines, and rarely fix anything…or do they? In the debut episode of Odds Law, host Lola Katz Roberts, alongside Henry Beesley and Rory Fairfax, explore what the numbers and the odds really tell us about football’s favourite quick fix. From knee-jerk reactions to new manager bounces, this episode digs past the narrative to uncover what clubs should be doing — and asks the big question: Should they stay or should they go?

The panel are back to break down the Third Test between England and India, should Ben Stokes’ side really still be odds-on to win the series?

With Rory and Scottie Scheffler super short again for The Open, all eyes turn to Jon Rahm. Could the Spaniard offer proper value this time around?

Plus, we’ve got some tasty four-fold accas, sharp value picks and everything you need ahead of a red hot weekend of sport.
