Lazy Odds setters.

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Just rubbing my hands at a nice win for the dutch. Had a ton on them +0.25 on the Asian Handicap. Nice profit, but as with all winners on the Asian, I have regrets about not having them straight on the 1X2.

Anyway, the game has just finished. You’d think that bookies would suspend the other games in a group while the matched are going on. Looks like, Bet365, VCbet and PaddyPower have just left their markets open. I can only assume their odds setters went home. The sensible bookmaker will have suspended the market and got their odds setters to price the result of tonights game in to the France/ Holland game.

Before tonight, France were favourites, after a 3-0 win of Italy though, you’d think the Dutch would be favourites. This is whats happened on Betfair and Billy Hills. The Lazy odds setters have just left their prices up though, so you can get some good value backing Holland tonight. PaddyPower have Holland win at 3.0 whereas Bet365 have draw no bet for Holland at 1.95.

We’ve gone for Holland @1.95 at bet365. £82 Pod, £118 Bang.
