For all the UK results the BBC websites vidi printer thing works well to keep you informed how those games are going.

For Bulgarian League 2 im less sure, i just tried LiveScore.com - Soccer Live Scores and that works on my Iphone.

Nice one Andy, I just checked out livescore.com and it works a treat!

Quick question -

probly I'm being newbie by checking, but sorta pretty good for what I'm trying to do if I'm reading things correctly

If I back Over 2.5 at a bookie, and then lay Over 2.5 at the exchange - for a qualifying type bet

I'm covered

Whereas I guess it would be dutching if I was to back Over 2.5 at one bookie and back Under 2.5 at another

I'm covered again, but vastly different outcome most likely odds-wise

so the style is different, but both outcomes being covered is the same sorta ? if you get my drift

I think I'm good ... but after recent catastrophies just want to make sure


I think I found a decent arb, back over, lay over - I reckon I'm all good here ...

Cheers

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

if u are backing over 2.5 u need to lay over 2.5 not under

if you back over 2.5 and theres 2 goals scored in the game u lose your back bet and have to pay out at the exchange because theres under 2.5

[Makybe]

bah, i think I meant that ... but typed it wrong

adjusted ... above

Cheers Craig for help

In theory yes if you back over 2.5 at bookie A then backing under 2.5 at bookie B would neutralise it / dutch it / be getting a possible arb, etc

BUT be carefull with this as a few mistakes made are...

Check it is actually 2.5 at both sites and not 2.5 at one site and 2 or 2.75 or something different (similar but different) at the other.

Also it is more common for bets to be palped in these markets as the bookies just literally put the odds into the system the wrong way round, typos do happen, and when they do if its obvious because they were 2.2 and the next best available odds on it anywhere else was 1.8, it will be palped.

thanks Andy, i have read about this ... very confusing to say the least ... and having done some searching tonight on this exact thing, i gotta say the way BetBrain sets this stuff out showing lots of bookies and their prices ... really sucks

Craig was right to yell at me, i had typed it wrong

Cheers

I need 2 bets at 2.0 or better at Jenningsbet, laying off at WBX ... 1 - 2 hours before kickoff ie Saturday arvo your time or night my time is best time to attack these I take it ? WBX does suck ...

any other suggestions welcome

Cheers

[Andy]

If its the Jennings bet new user offer on the site i think you need three £30 bets to qualify. Definitely you are best looking at the Premiership games just before they start, Jennings have a 104% book on those markets and also WBX will have fair liquidity then. You "could" try horse racing but i would not recommend it, it will over complicate things and you have to be very quick on your toes and it isnt really possible at WBX to work out how the market is moving. Stick to Soccer match odds is probably best.

Cheers Andy, i figured as much

You do need 3 bets, but have already done my first, successfully I might add ... there's a first time for everything

You'll just have to wait for the next installment of the diary nothing earth shattering i promise

Thankyou mate
