  • After watching the effect that the first goal has on the odds for a draw, it got me thinking. If while the score was still a draw, I was to feed a stake value into the calculator along with the expected higher bookie odds that would result from a goal being scored and enter the lay odds prior to a goal being scored, I could place the lay bet on that basis in the knowledge that as soon as a goal was scored, I could place the bookie bet to guarantee profit. Tried it successfully a couple of times already. In fact, on one occasion, I decided not to place the bookie bet after a goal was scored because it was late in the game and I decided to risk it for higher profit.

    Thanks for your comments Shaun. I have had a look at the T&Cs. The late goal offer only applies to bets placed pre-match and payout is limited to £25. I will go back to the drawing board as suggested and look to see if this could still provide an advantage if the lay bet liability was kept below £25.

    A large bet on the draw after the 88th minute? You do realise the max refund @888sport is £25 and the odds of a draw at the 88th minite would be very low at a guess 1.2? That would be £5 profit hardly going to offset any liability now is it….you really didnt think any of this through

    Ryan,
    You’re absolutely right. Too many flaws in my idea. Still, the dream felt good while it lasted.
