Arb available - free money

ssshhh.

Someone backed him down to 5.4 yesterday.

looking at the firms involved = arb unavailable

LOL Shabby was backed down to 16 yesterday as well, I hope they come back for more today.

Why's that squares? Or do you mean unavailable to you.

Certainly unavailable to me, and I would have thought plenty more on here.

Beggars belief when people put this stuff up. Bookies don't take bets. I'm amazed you're still allowed any bets on Specials if you have a good strike rate, and I get the sense it's not bad, so how you get layed a bet is beyond me.

Lay here, not at the bookie. I know it's confusing.

I haven't done it, just trying to be helpful to others.

Not even worth it with commision and agreed, you wont get more than a ton on if your new to it, if your record is decent forget it.

I made 20p, cheers

LOL it's just a bit of info, maybe telling backers that there's a better price available elsewhere more than any arb, it really doesn't need this much analysis.

never use the most hated word in betting then

Bookies prices are always out of skew, no need to act like a smart arse. Though, there was no need for myself to be so abrupt, apologies. Obviously a lot of regulars are still allowed a fair bet at the bookies. I can't get on anywhere, and that was after a few small wins. You just can't have a decent bet on Big Brother markets anymore unless you're prepared to sit and drab money into the market. X Factor is the best market, often blocks of 1k, 2k, sometimes 20k (out of my league), up. Here I was trying to get alot more on Coirin and got hardly any matched.

Anyway, fair point, but there will be dozens of arbs, as the majority of special punters who make it pay won't be able to get on the inflated bookies prices and will still take the value on here.

Not sure Steve is an example, but Janey Cutler to top her BGT trial was 3.25 at the bookies but I had to take sub 3 on here. How the likes of FLL are still laid bets at the bookies is beyond me.

And you were to wrong correct me, I worded correctly (for once ). And you were ruder than I was, I wasn't even that rude!

But I like your style Henry so apologise for being abrupt.

I like all of you in truth.

I am perplexed how you and FLL still get laid a bet, you clearly are both profitable, why do they still accept your custom? Fair play to them for doing so.

LOL your wording was correct but I was a bit stumped to answer "Bookies don%u2019t take bets" in the normal way.

OK bookies are not infinite, I've counted just 12 biggies (not including ones like 888 and SportingBet who only take peanuts from anybody). I can accept that there must be some punters who are barred from all.

What about Sporting Index in that case? (Don't worry Mr Betfair we are only talking about when the market is too thin here or for those you tax too heavily).

I have used the financial spread companies, but the couple of times I've looked at Specials with Sporting Index and converted it to odds (when that's possible, depending on the market) it wasn't worthwhile. However, like Betfair, they can%u2019t lose a bet so I imagine they don't bar anyone?
