"Any other score" market

I notice that some bookies allow betting on Correct Score for scores ranging from 0-0 all the way to 4-4, however Smarkets only goes to 3-3 (with all combinations in between), but crucially offers “Any other home win”, “Any other away win” and “Any other draw”.

Is there a gap here that can be exploited?

For instance, 188Bet is showing 14/1 (13.0) for a score of 4-0 home win on tomorrow’s Man City vs. West Ham match. Meanwhile “Any other home win” on Smarkets is currently laying at 5.1.

Something is telling me this is too good to be true, which probably means I’ve misunderstood something.

Can someone help me understand what’s going on here?

Any other home win is Man City winning and scoring 4 or more in the process.

So 4-0, 4-1, 4-2, 5-0, 5-1 etc are all inclusive.

If you back 4-0 at bookies and lay any other home win. If it finishes 4-1 for instance you have lost both bets.

Comes up quite often this, as you rightly pointed out though, if its too good to be true it probably is!

Am I right in thinking that with any other result (other than the ones you have listed), will win the lay bet – so if it’s a draw or any win to the other team, your lay bet still wins? Or is that wrong? Thanks
