19k matched on the entire event. you couldnt bet or lay at the prices on offer, so fk knows how you intend to make money.

fair play to revok, he at least got on pre-event at reasonable odds for an 8 runner event.

not on bf ofc.

you probably should if you are trying to make a book on that on here. you might get the odd mug risking a few quid but nobody in their right mind would get involved for anything resembling decent money.

i didnt ask what you  did for a living. nor did i call you a mug. i was simply asking how you could make money when theres been £40 matched in the last half an hour ?
Report scarecrow December 10, 2010 10:21 PM GMT
you make money when big situations occur and people overeact to it for example when bord went to 2/1 on knocking out pa,ive probably said to much already.

how is that thieving if someone asks for 2/1 and you lay them its just two opposed views bud

Listen to Chippo, he's not delusional, you know.
Report chipfire227 December 10, 2010 10:39 PM GMT
scarecrow i was simply asking if you were trading on here thats all. i couldnt see the point as there's very little liquidity. thought maybe you had taken an opinion before the event or there had been arbs availible onthe high street.

if you have laid the 2/1 then fair play to you, theres clearly been a decent chunk traded at 2/1, i didnt realise idiots would beton this, clearly they do.

daryl fair play to you. tipped up antonius and gave reasoning behind it.nice work.
Report scarecrow December 10, 2010 10:44 PM GMT
no worries bud i usually trade events in running on lots of sports if your a jack of all trades and can do some of the lesser sports yes there is less money traded but if you can price things up roughly quickly there is much bigger margins than trading the popular sports where the books as you pointed out earlier are nearly always spot on with near 100% books.
