Edmund had a nice 1.81. After the first set Berankis lost and his odd went up to 3.85, which I just had to nick a small dime as insurance.Sounds good, but what's the reasoning behind? To be a good odds / value-bet, you gotta know something that the odds-setters probably dont - Do you?
Eastbourne are 17th, in poor form. Announced this week a need to find £40000 in a month and have parted company with their manager and top scorer to save money.
Sounds good, thanks. Just checked the stats - a lot of wins against the lower teams, so the fear is of course that the form is good because of bad opponents, but yet this one is also in bad condition. Are Eastbourne without a current manager now or? Sometimes it can have a positive effect too, to change the manager
According to their forum, the managerial duties will be conducted by other coaches and the club captain, Sergio Torres.
I’m in - god speed
I’m sat on our coach with the players and they are in confident mood, so i hope I’m not steering you wrong. I’ve backed us so at least it won’t just be you losing moneyI’m in - god speed

Also missed a pen I think?
Believe so.. should have known with my luck atm!
So what do you bet on now?
Not quite true in my experience. I work in a bookies and I have a customer that bets 4 figures on tennis/football on our terminals. Totally depends on whether the traders accept it.
Sorry mate. We missed a penalty, had a player sent off and really struggled with the conditions. Finished 1-1.
Disaster on football even though Inter bet was returned, but all my arbs went well, with the exception of Besiktas.
Stupid dumb Denver.
Which bit of butter will drop to the floor first. The big Indian guy lets him have 5 figures but if Nurse Ratched finds out he's in serious trouble.
Dont be silly, it was a good tip. stats suggested a good chance to win despite the pen and card.
One of my absolute favourites, made me wanna watch it now!
You’re talking nonsense pal. I work in a bookies and I it happens regularly.
Ive done a £1000 cash bet on a horse race for my boss before, told me to lift it from petty cash in work and go round to place it. They took the bet over the counter on a 7/1 shot, didnt win and lost £100 of my own money following the tip.
You are right at some point. There are tons of bookies who will limit your sum of bets and will pretty much can shut up the shop whenever they feel pleased. It happened to me a few times bets being cancelled by the bookies after the match was started and they don't even explain why (your money is returned, though). Having said that, their business is also very keen on cash-flows, because circulating cash is always a good thing for their markets.
In PT we have regulations about it, but the numbers are pretty high for a regular person: from 1 000€ to 5 600€.
Today was terrific. Almost full house.
I'm on sporting.
Your doing God’s work
Not really. It is similar to trading in some aspects, though. I'll describe you some of my arbitrage bets from yesterday. I usually say it's possible simply because if things go wrong from the start, all you can do is to hope for the best

Positives of this system:
- Maccabi Tel Aviv - Fenerbahce [Win] position closed at 2Q: Maccabi odd to win was 2.05. Fenerbahce is playing poorly this season, so I went on Maccabi. At the 2nd Quarter Maccabi was gaining a confortable lead, which made Fenerbahce odd to go to 3.95 on live, so I placed an arbitrage bet on Fenerbahce (on a different bookie, obviously), leaving me with a profit either way. In this case, as Maccabi was leading confortably, I put 90% of profit into their victory. If I had only waited until 2Q end, the odd would be much higher because Maccabi made a 20 points lead.
- Bayern - Real Madrid [Win] position closed at 3Q: Bayern has a very well drilled team and Real Madrid is still a bit inconsistent at this season start. Bayern odd started at 3.50 pre-match, but when I registered it was already 2.95. The game itself was very balanced. Bayern was leading, but by a slim margin. Had to wait until the 3Q end, and Bayern got himself on a 10 point lead, which made Real Madrid odd go up until 2.65, opening a way for an arbitrage bet. Since Madrid has a very strong team, I decided to distribute the profit by 50 / 50, because teams like that are capable of miracle recoveries. Bayern hold the lead well and in hindsight I could had gone 90% on them, but...
- Limoges - Partizan [fail] Limoges started well, having a 9 point lead, but bookie closed the live bets for a few minutes. When bets were reopened Partizan was doing a fantastic 2Q and already recovered, never to stop scoring again. I kept an eye on the match, but Limoges never recovered, so bet lost.
Higher percentages of hit rate, and sometimes you don't even need to make an insurance bet if the game goes on your way.
Negatives:
If things go badly, there's little you can do, but it's basically like loosing a simple bet. With some luck you might find an opening for an insurance bet.
Sometimes one bookie cancels the bet, and the other bookie doesn't do that. If the bookie who canceled was the one where you would win money, then it's a bummer (been there) because despite getting your money returned, you probably be on red for that arbitrage.
Time spent: yes, this requires some of your attention. But you can just install a regular sport live results app on your smartphone and put alerts on score numbers or just keep tabs opened and checking the result actively, while doing other things that require your time.
