NB - There are also instances where you can't lose

e.g Mahatmacoat Fc V Gandy Athletic

Both teams to score markets
Corals Yes 11/10 No 8/13
Hills Yes 4/6 No 11/10

£200 on each guarantees £20 profit.
You'd be surprised how many times this happens <ok>
 
I've been involved in this game for over 30 years as an expensive hobby, contrary to what TC says such incidences are very rare.

Betting firms employ armies of professional layers & traders to avoid this happening.

You will certainly spot the occasional over price on Betfair, but not with the big on line or High St firms.
 
Wouldn't touch either - we are and **** and United have Herrera, Pogba and Ibra back. Everton have a few players out as well.
 
I'm in, but can't be arsed with playing off two bookmakers at once. I know there is profit there, but no thrill in that for me.

I don't like doing it either - and got done like a kipper once when I had £300 with Corals on the yes market and went to place £300 with Bet Victor but message came up with maximum bet for that market was £50 - needless to say the no scoreline came in!!


So if a few of you are interested, this site http://www.flashscores.co.uk/ lists most of the days fixtures - just a case of clicking on certain games and looking at the results of each team.

e.g. Tonight's games

FC Koln v Frankfurt 7PM KO

Kolns last 8 games
L 2-1
W 1-7
W 4-2
D 2-2
L 0-3
W 3-1
D 1-1
L 2-1

So both teams have scored in 7 of last 8 games

Corals have them both to score tonight at evens
 
I have tried that before but when Bury drew 0 - 0 with Fleetwood after losing 13 games in a row I just think what's the point checking facts and figures :/. That game cost me 2k
