Ok, I've never looked at the 'Scorecast' market before so I could be missing something but surely this market is a little doolally:
http://sports.betfair.com/Index.do?mi=101376838&ex=1&origin=MRL
I've been watching it this morning and have some money on it and it definitely seems botish. Many of the odds matched can be found at higher odds on the high street; up until a couple of hours ago, more money had been placed on this market than the main odds market; surely the book shouldn't be 101%?
I'll let you experts have a look as I'm not 100% on the rules of this market (I'm assuming 0-0 means all bets lose - assuming each player plays; I'm assuming another playing scoring first means all these bets lose, etc) but surely something's up?
For example, earlier on I was laying Fletcher unquoted at 19.5! Gone up now but the whole market's still twitchy.

I'll be honest i've never ventured into this market before but there seems a ridiculous amount matched on some of these, Jerome 1-0 is one!
|
|
By:
Yes, the 1-0s and the Unquoteds look very strange. McFadden 1-0 is at least 26.0 on the high street but someone/something keeps taking 15-17.
I've seen something similar before but at greater margins on a market i know well. That was a Saturday morning too. It's just not knowing the market and not having all eventualities listed that's putting me off going any deeper. |
|
By:
I've just had McFadden 1-0 matched at 14. This is**ers.
|
|
By:
Is it that if none of these score first you will get your money back on here but lose it on high street?
|
|
By:
Are you certain that all players listed will be in the starting line up?
|
|
By:
I think Benitez may be out.
I'm not sure if you get your money back if a player listed doesn't score first. It doesn't say in the Rules. I've looked deeper into the Rules and there's nothing there. |
|
By:
I've spoken with Betfair and if a player not listed scores first then you lose your bet (assuming your player is or has been on the pitch).
|
|
By:
Someone knows the line ups (nap)
|
|
By:
some of the goalscorer and unquoted have traded at shorter than the actual unquoted price in the correct score market
|
|
By:
I'm not so sure. If you look at all players and all scores then you'll see that at some point a lot of money was placed. All seems to have happened at the same time and quite early on. Since then it's been a bit erratic.

buzzer 01 May 12:00 some of the goalscorer and unquoted have traded at shorter than the actual unquoted price in the correct score market Yep, it's definitely been screwed up at some point. I think it still is but going to wait for team news before deciding my next step. |
|
By:
Templeton Peck, if you think Benitez will not play recalculate the market without the Benitez options. Then consider if laying is good option.
|
|
By:
Test.
|
|
By:
I'm having trouble posting. I think it's because I copied and pasted from a website. Anyway, all players play.
|
|
By:
Templeton,
Where did you confirm line up? If Jerome, Benitez and McFadden are all playing, then those are seriously mispriced! |

http://www.sportinglife.com/ Also on the football forum, not that I'd trust that. |
|
By:
Ok cheers.
|
|
By:
The market's definitely screwed. I wonder what's causing it.
|
|
By:
Great thread TP.
Cheers. |
|
By:
keep this thread quiet now and collect imo....
|
|
By:
Too late, I stupidly went to the football forum to try and get the market sorted so I could green up. Although no responses so doubt they realise.
|
|
By:
does anyone know how much is usually traded on these scorecast markets?
|
|
By:
I had a look at Man City earlier and it was about £300! I'm actually getting a bit freaked out by what's happening.
|
|
By:
there's £669 matched so far on man city-villa and whilst i understand that this is the early sky game it seems a hell of a lot matched for a market such as this!
|
|
By:
i know why this is happening - bot confused with 100%
|
|
By:
it doesnt understand how the market works
|
|
By:
Yes, the bot thinking 100% is what it is.
|
|
By:
fantastic spot this - has made my day
|
|
By:
i wonder if it's the bots first, and last, venture into the scorecast market ;). I'm sure it wont be the MSE anyway ;)
|
|
By:
Suspended?
|
|
By:
someone is in all kinds of trouble
|
|
By:
ffs what for??? Their mistake...
|
|
By:
Could be me if Fletcher unquouted or Benitez 3-2 comes in!
|
|
By:
Could the bot's owner have asked them to suspend?
|
|
By:
what if it is betfairs bot??
|
|
By:
someone's just got back from tesco and seen the carnage
|
|
By:
Probably smug that they'd got two for one chocolate fingers but then saw this!
|
|
By:
I'm just hoping it doesnt finish 1-0 og :)
|
|
By:
Oh, if only I went with my instincts. You do sometimes get things that are too good to be true and I've not taken anywhere near enough advantage.
What's your favourite chart? I like the Benitez 3-2 one. |
