Manipulating the in play betting markets to ensure you can't possibly lose....
.......
I have no background on this....Just been thinking....
But do people do it? And even possibly do it for a living?
Was watching the odds change on the in play snooker market and they were changing everytime someone missed a shot.
Over a best of 35 game, if it's a close encounter, surely it's gonna be possible to make multiple bets on each player to increase the value of your bets overall?
For example say they both start evens.
Player A goes 2-0 up, and player B drifts to 2/1 You have 1k on player B @ 2/1
It goes to 8-8 and the odds r evens for both again. You have 1k on player A @ evens.
You're now freerolling for a grand and gtd to at least get ur money back overall???
Do people do this???????
(all made up examples but hopefully u see what I'm getting at)

People do this on the exchanges all the time.
Get an account with Betfair and you can even have a bet on a race, when the horses are running.
In fact you can get a bet on any sport while it is in action.

It is possible Dohh to ensure a profit sometimes when using Betfair.If i have an accumulator bet where say i have four selections and my first three are winners then i will lay the last one on Betfair to make sure i get something out of the bet.
The hard bit of course is getting the thre winners in the first place.
a good example of gtd profit is when a high st bookmaker gave enhanced odds of 8/1 on a 1st scorer market and on the exchanges it was 8.0 (7/1 ) so you could bet it at the bookies to win and lay it at 8.3 (7.3/1 ) winning whatever the result, although you have to work it out properly as they take 5% of winnings on the exchanges
its the same in golf as snooker. the odds change after every shot, so if your quick enough and spot a ball while its in the air thats gonna be a good shot you back it and if it is a good shot the odds will go in and you can lay it
its best to have a lotof money to bet on these things as the percentages you win are marginal and its hard to find better prices than the exchanges on other bookies
i used to like the antepost betting on reality shows, esp big brother, as the odds would come up before anyones even spoken, so i used to pick some outsiders and when there odds would go in i,d lay them off
I,ve sent u a PM if you wanna learn more about this
