Noticed these odds on Oddschecker

Does that mean you could lay these on the Exchange for 51 and 70 and then take the 100/1 with any of several bookmakers?
 
No that is just what they are available to back at on the exchanges. This usually happens because there isn't much interest in those selection on Betfair. I very much doubt you'll be able to lay either at less than 100s though :biggrin:

Just thought; if these are the odds available on the Exchanges, someone must be laying them at those odds, mustn't they?

Yeah someone has put up a lay bet of 50s and 70s but it doesn't mean those lay bets will be matched, I'd say 95% of the time maybe even higher those bets won't be matched. They are just putting them up there in the hope some idiot comes along and backs the horses at those wrong prices.

You get lots of people trying tactics like this on Betfair, on new markets or selections that haven't generated much interest.

That's why unless you know what your doing then it's always safer to bet on markets and selections that are generating enough interest, so a proper market has been formed. This way your guarenteed to get a fair price about your selection.

If your going to bet on selections and markets that there isn't much interest in, then it's always wise to check oddschecker first, to see how the bookies are pricing it up :biggrin:
