I should be a bookie
Monday, March 31st, 2008Just been on the sportingodds site for the Arsenal/ Liverpool game. The have a market called half time under over 0.5 goals. Basically, if its 0-0 at half time, its under (2.5), else its over 0.5 goals (1.5). They also have a market called half time correct score. 0-0 is priced at 2.25. So if you think its going to be 0-0 at half time, then bet on unders at half time at 2.5. I think the games going to be tight, so £50 notes on that. Half time draw is evens at most places.
That’s an even more retarded situation than when bookies price a home win and a -0.5 on the Asian Handicap differently. You might get 1.91 on a home win but switch the Asian Odds and you might get evens. That’s just about understandable though as the markets are booked differently. I guess it just shows that correct score betting is a bad bet and betting at Asian Bookies is good.
As for mine and Pod’s bets this week. Looks like its going to be Man U draw no bet at 1.8. End of the month, so money is a bit tight. Going to hope the price holds up until tomorrow.
