Simon Bray - Huh?

But he's even more of a moron because that's the current offer price and a completely useless number on its own. The current bid price is 50-1. There's absolutely no liquidity on anybody but Goldikova (only $9k matched so far on the market), who is currently 2.34/2.7 (so mid price of 7/5).

Looks like I'm the moron then.

Not at all. We don't use decimal wagering here so you have no need for it. He's British, and employed by Betfair- he should at least have a competent knowledge of how it works- and to make a blanket statement like he did (that he's a heavy favorite based on a nonexistent one side of a market) is even more egregious than not knowing that 1.2 means 1/5 not 1/2.

He gets so flustered with Schrupp that it's a wonder he can speak English. I think they're in love with each other.
