General Betting

I find value every day, there's a lot of it around, but nobody cares about betting on womens basketball and other obscure sports. It just doesn't make for good interest and no bookmaker will want your business if you're cleaning him out on Jai Alai.
In that vain, this is just going to be a thread of bets I perceive to be value in popular and liquid markets. Something you can share with your mates without getting an odd stare, something you can sit down to watch on the weekend with a bottle of Kopparberg Pear.
Such bets aren't as common as the obscure markets which are often mispriced, so this thread won't be flooding with activity. There is also the issue that I may be dead wrong as far as if the bet is value or not. Let's have a go anyway. I'll be going with the most common and biggest bookmakers because anyone can pick out a big error from a fringe bookie that no-one can get more than 10p on with (I will highlight those in brackets just in case).
First off:
Hungarian GP Podium Finish ~ Kimi Raikkonen @ 9/4 General (5/2 Stan James)

I guess for the sake of simplicity all bets will be settled to a '1pt' level stake. |

how do you measure value, or is this just your opinion?

By:
to measure value - you only need 1 race - if you show a profit - you have nailed it .

All ideas of giving an event odds or perceiving value is down to opinion. I simply believe these prices do not accurately reflect the actual chances of these events happening. It's measured on both stats, current form, opinion and also gut feel.
If I turn a profit, I'm right more than I'm wrong or just lucky. I really don't care whatever the reason is! |
