Have discovered a market on here which is pre-determined , yet there is still money to be made on it by flushing out the 1.01 .  Have corresponded on it with betfair who say it is still open , and that the decision to put money up on it is between Betfair customers .

I am well aware of what caveat emptor means , and the situations in which it is still a valid thesis .  However in this case the result of the market is over , question is , how moral is it to flush it out , and/ or will Betfair disqualify any current button pushing ?

In days where betting is going to attract more and more attention is it "good for the game " to leave a completed market open for whatever reason , maybe some people cant do handicap sums . Not everyone knows that 3 minus 2.5 is  minus 0.5  , do they ?

Correct , pa .  Maybe that proves a point !

One team is 3 ahead in a market where there are only 2 more points "for sale" . And the handicap is 2.5 , so market is over . My post was not genuinely disingenuous , and was in between racing !

Somebody just put up 1.08 to 100 on that market , took it needless to say .  But if arkle is on the ball .....  Antone else have a look at that market , Ashes series 2013-2014 , "Specials" .  England plus 2.5 tests . Aussies minus 2.5 is a clear winner unless I am mistaken .  Cheers .

If England win the last 2 matches it will be 2-3. But with handicap that would make it 4 1/2 to 3 (or 2 to 1/2) in favour of England. (I presume there are a total of five matches).

True , Arkle .  Guess I will have to wait for another match .
Report Arklearkle December 17, 2013 3:25 PM GMT
Hope I am not putting you wrong there but my logic says Aus have to win four matches to beat the handicap.

Kelly.....are you gone crazy or what.....how is the market over.....yer in some Shiite with yer 1.01's and yer 1.08's....

Mixed it up with series score markets , arkle . Luckily I did not flush it out , 1.08 is my worst price although I started backing it at at higher and could trade out at a profit still if I want .  Cheers .

Do OAPs have to retake their driving licence when they reach a certain age?  Perhaps Betfair should consider a similar policy?

Kelly could cut loose on here some night and p!ss someones inheritance up against the wall.

Dont worry Ozy , already traded out of the situation from the 1.08 bet , taking the mighty loss of £4 to be discounted against previous profit which may still arise , which pains me but hardly breaks me . As for inheritance all my children have net assets far more than I have although I am financially  comfortable and bullet proof provided all institutions remain sound . God bless Betfair for the good and busy years !

And there were some over on the purple site last night backing on the Test match at way under the odds available here . Check my posts  on the match thread, put them up for anyone who wanted , I had run out of laying funds over there , could not accomodate them and turn it into the guaranteed profit we all like . I could not top up without wakening someone up in the middle of the night . C'est la vie .

We ALL make mistakes. The key is not to make them manifold or grave and to learn from them.

If I owned a bookies, I wouldn't want Kelly passing through my door.
