These are amoral people, just like the crooks in the News Media. They support nothing. Certainly nothing more than money. And what they do is analyze for whom the chumps on the street are gambling their money, and then they fix it the other way. One would expect most Brits bet on England., so they cannot be allowed to win. Simple.
