Postmatch editorial
Blackpool flipped the prices on their head
The final score was Reading 0-1 Blackpool. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
The decisive turn arrived late when CJ Hamilton scored 75' for Blackpool.
The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Blackpool led Shots on target 0-5. Blackpool also shaded Corners 3-8.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Reading the favourite at 43.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
