Dutching with Lay Bets?

Hi Matt,

Great site. Very informative.

I’ve come across a potential opportunity (but I could be wrong). Details of market below:

Smarkets
Celtic to Win both halves (Yes/No)
Yes Lay odds: 3
No Lay odds: 5

Is this an arb opportunity? Not even sure if it’s possible to have an arb when both side of the bet are a Lay bet? Your thoughts on this would be great.

Cheers
Harris

Hi Harris, I’m not sure this is a profitable opportunity – an arb is when the back odds are greater than the lay odds which enables you to lock in a profit by backing and laying (though it’s not recommended on healthy accounts unless the bookie are running a specific boost on that market).

Never come across any mention of profiting from laying both sides of a market in some kind of reverse Dutch?? I assume it’s not possible but will stand corrected if anyone else knows better!

Hi Harris,

I don’t think there’s an opportunity here unfortunately.

If you were dutching with back bets, you would want as high odds as possible to lock in a profit. With lay bets like this, you would want as low odds as possible, certainly less than evens.

Hope that helps.

Cheers Lads, Yeah just said I’d mention it as wasn’t sure. I’m new to all this so still learning.
