Laddies to be precise,would they take £700 on a 9/2 shot.its not an arb but its a world cup bet on when a team gets eliminated.
Would it be best going into 3 or 4 shops and having £200 instead?

It's a pretty big event this World Cup thingy, they may take a bet here.
Go into one shop and say you want it all on or nothing if they start wavering. |

Its £2000 win on world cup before they have to ring,id go for £400 as a phone call on something like that would probably get a knock back or an offer of £100.

If it Brazil to go out in the Qs then you are likely to stand a better chance than one of the minor teams to go out in the group stages.

i'd imagine you'd get it on in the 1 shop easily. Brazil in the Quarters you would, I am sure and more. Those are the only odds being offered at 9/2 by Lads on the elimination markets. But why you would take that bet I am not sure. There are better odds available to take direct off the book as a back here here and with the aid of a laying calc plenty more on the other side. |

They are offering 9/2 on others actually Alex,Spain and Argentina in various rounds are two others at least.
Im not sure if you'd get such a better price when you add commision, also the liquidity on the markets at the moment taking into account i'm on my holidays and won't be back until the world cup has started.So I'd like to get my bets on straight away. If you say i'm wrong with the prices i'd appreciate you going into a bit more detail. |

Haslam,
I figured that you might be onto a cop out/fix. And the only bet on offer at 9/2 was Brazil in the quarters. That was the only bet they were offering at that price! 5.4 on offer less 5% is better than 9/2 is it not? And offer the rest up on a 104% book than you get much better than 5.4. Or have I got this wrong? I could easily back £750 at better than 9/2 if that is what you are trying to do although I hoped you might be talking about an Ivory Coast game where I could see the odds dipping. |

You should be able to get on but there's no guarantee that you'll be able to get off afterward.
