The "Green Book" Thread

[The Royal Sampler]

Yep, they have a wide variety of markets and you'll generally get great value (ie. just about the best odds anywhere). The drawback is that sometimes there won't be enough liquidity (ie. not enough money bet by others on the market for you to match), particularly early after the market is posted. If you can get on just before the event in question starts, this isn't usually such an issue.

I have been looking for a thread like this.

I backed St Kilda for the Minor Premiership after their Round 8 loss to Essendon @ 50:1 on sportstab (only $10). Since then I joined up with Betfair looking to lay them at a good price.

I was going to make this move before their Round 16 game vs Collingwood however just put $100 on the Pies instead with the intention that if the Saints won they would come into about $2 and then put the remainder of my balance on this.

I am have now guranteed $122 profit from this bet and still have the Saints @ 51s when they are now around the $5 mark. Will still attempt to lay this bet if conditions suit however the saints look locks to win their next 4 so I will try to pick the best time to hedge further.

Looking to find a lot more of these so that i cant get nutted when things dont work out (eg: last Friday when I had 2/3 legs of a 15:1 multi and just needed Hawthorn to beat Saints, Decided to back Saints in the 4th quarter @ $3.30, only to see a draw)
