Massive Arb

  • Posted this as part of the Sky thread but it’s so good (I think) that it needs more visibility…

    Barca 4-0 on SKybet at 19.0

    Lay on Smarkets, Any other away win at 5.4.

    My Matched Betting Academy is the best place to get started. Learning the fundamentals takes 10-15 minutes and you’ll make £15 in the process.

    ……………What if its 4-1? A common mistake

    if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

    If the score was 4-1, 4-2, 5-0 etc you would lose both the bet and the lay

    Whenever I see massive arb or bet this quick, an alarm bell goes off. More often than not people get confused.

    Oh no!!!!!!!!! The alarm bell was ringing and I wasn’t listening. How can I fix this? Do I just need to hope for the best?

    what they normally do when they make a mistake on the odds is just reduce the odds to what they should have been.
    it doesnt help you much if you have put loads on it

    Charlie this has nothing to do with a bookie putting the wrongs odds…this is to do with laying an event thinking it covers your back bet, which it doesn’t. Therefore you could either gamble its not more than 3-0…or just back the any other home win it cover most of your liability…youll still be down but not much compared to if it was 4-1 4-2 etc …

    Don’t pray to anyone, just do what Ryan suggested.

    Your liability will be around £73, so put £14 on any other away win which has gone to 5.6 and you’ll cancel out your liability (actually make a couple of pounds). And you’ll still have your skybet in play.
