Bet365 odds drift?

odds drifting way out right before kickoff makes some sense if there’s fresh news, like injuries or the lineups shifting last minute. but today i watched a few matches where the odds drifted bigtime even though nothing came up in the news feeds, not even whispers on the betting socials. sharp money sometimes hits hard just before the game and pushes the market, but it felt random today.

on roulette tables i always try to spot patterns, but this drift thing - especially with no obvious trigger - just feels off. maybe there's some backend algorithm at play, or maybe traders are just over-adjusting. is anyone else tracking these drifts? do you ever bet into them, or do you see it as a trap?

Blackjack taught me this sooo fast: late drift is usually sharp money.

Sharp money gets way too much credit lol, sometimes they're just juicing the vig late.

sharp money gets blamed for everything on here, sometimes it's just books shading risk before bet confirmation gets slammed. totally different thing from online casinos where the backend is fixed and the max payout tells you more than the "action" does!!!
