Postmatch editorial

Bristol Rovers flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Bromley 1-2 Bristol Rovers. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Fabrizio Cavegn put the first mark on the match 76', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Bromley led Shots on target 6-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Bromley also shaded Total shots 8-5.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Bromley the favourite at 57.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
