Odds Matching for Bet Builders?
-
Does anyone have any tips for finding good odds matches when betting on Bet Builders?
Often, there’ll be an offer whereby the “prize” is a free bet to use on Bet Builders, and these usually only require two selections (subject to minimum odds) – which can then, in turn, be laid at the Exchange. For example, “Winner / BTTS” or “Winner / Goals Over”, which would qualify as two-selection Bet Builders with most bookies and which would also be available as a single item on Smarkets or Betfair.
The problem (as with all multiple bets) is that the lay odds tend to be unattractive. An example today is the Southampton v Nottm Forest match in the EPL this evening. You can back “Southampton / BTTS Yes” at 4.50 on BetUK, but the lay odds on Smarkets are 5.50, leaving you with just £6.36 out of a £10 free bet
As far as I know, there is no calculator available to sniff out good Bet Builders for matched betting, but are there any guiding principles that can help? For example, is “BTTS” generally a better selection than “Goals Over/Under”?
