Purely where the money is going and nothing else.

Well...they don't mean nothing really. They reflect where people are willing to bet their own money which reflects something other than a media bias toward satisfying a particular fanbase. Of course odds do reflect the bias of bettors which means more popular clubs with delusional fan bases will skew the odds to their favor. But the motivation of those wishing to make money is not entirely the same as that of a hack journalist trying to satisfy their readers.

If I've said it once, I've said it 46 times. Give me 10k and your real name and I'll make you odds on to be Spurs next signing

If you'd bothered to read back through the conversation in which @DC Hotspur was participating, you would find that in the context the odds do in fact mean something. That is, @John48 said "most seem to have him Liverpool bound" - the odds rather suggest that most people have put money on him going to places other than Liverpool.

Jack Grealish puts Tottenham and other Premier League suitors on transfer alert by deciding to leave Aston Villa
EXCLUSIVE: Spurs lead the race for the 22-year-old but are biding their time before making cash-strapped club an offer
Jack Grealish is ready to quit Aston Villa this summer to return to Premier League.
Tottenham lead the race for the talented attacking midfielder, though chairman Daniel Levy is yet to actually open the bidding as he bides his time to exploit Villa’s cash woes.
But MirrorSport understands the 22-year-old does expect them to come in for him.
Grealish stands to land a bumper five-year deal, which will see his current £20,000-a-week salary in the Championship rocket.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino wants him to give England ace Dele Alli competition for the role playing behind Harry Kane.
And Grealish has come to terms with the necessity of leaving his boyhood club since missing out on promotion by losing to Fulham in last month's play-off final.
Close pal and mentor John Terry has helped fuel his ambitions by stressing his top-flight quality and England national team potential.
Other Premier League rivals, including West Ham, are believed to be monitoring uncapped Grealish’s situation, but Liverpool are not expected to bid.
Villa, who last month were late settling a tax bill, are still struggling to source fresh investment under owner Dr Tony Xia.
But even if the embattled Villa owner ends up selling the club, Grealish is likely to still want to go.

Damn, they’ve only just noticed he’s available since that Mirror story....
According to a poster on villatalk who is adamant he's ITK on the deal, he is 100% coming to Spurs and there's nothing in the Liverpool story

I learnt my lesson betting on Keita last year, won't make that mistake again! I think Grealish will be a great acquisition very dynamic and hasn't had a single good manager during his career to date. Poch will make him special!
