Alternatively you cd lay and wait till Sun. Confused

its a great lay wouldn't even need to trade out Grin

That's a pretty poor return on capital over a year though.

You're right; I'm used to events settling the same day. Fortunately I laid more than I bet to win--and I was surprised they let me have as much on at the price.

the ROI on this is tiny!  It's really not a big arb sorry
Report racingguru • August 20, 2012 3:29 PM BST
These sort of long term arbs are only use if you find multiple ones on the same market and even then the ROI is very modest. Champions League market is one which normally offers this especially just after a round of matches.

I would give you 2.2 on a coin toss, if it was to be settled in a year's time and I got to keep the stake in the meantime like a bookie does.

Hehe, nice one, that's actually a good idea, you should open up a website, I'm pretty sure you would attract many takers including myself, it's a potential win win scenario :)

Unless you lose the money in the interim, Trev Laugh

That's why I said "potential" 1.01 layer :)

If Investor is confident enough of making more than 10% profit by using the money over 12 months (which I'm sure he is) I would have as much as he would let me place on coin tosses at 2.2 :) I would also require a guarantee of payout of course, perhaps underwritten by a big name.

Don't forget about commission though. I heard that Investor's rates are pretty steep.

Cash still there. Shows how hard it is to get a bet matched on here.
Both still bigger with the books.

thnx chatlame Happy

Trevh, I'm surprised you can't make more than 10% with it yourself. Are you maxed out on your betting strategies? Or are you already rich? Wink
Report Trevh • August 26, 2012 2:42 AM BST
Yes I make more than 10% as a percentage of invested money Investor, nearer 600%, but I would still be very attracted to an offer of 2.2 for coin flips to be settled in a years time :)
