Man Utd,Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal banker bets oh dear

Man Utd Chelsea Liverpool Arsenal

Opening weekend of the premiership 2006/7 and 4 banker bets !
For the bookies ?.

Oh did you think you were going to fill your boots Man Utd at home Chelsea
at home Arsenal's first game in their new Emirates Stadium and Liverpool
away to new boy's Sheffield United this was the situation that gambler's
dream of.

I can see all those betting slips now, lucky 15's , 4 team accumulators, doubles's
and trebles plus backing each team as singles how could you loose.

Well my friend's loose you did except for the singles and a couple of doubles that
would have been so odds on you would have been lucky to get your money back.

Then there was all those exotic bet's ,first goal scorer + correct score, then there
is half-time full-time oh how the bookie's must have run for cover.

Never mind there's the mid-week games to come and of course next weekend
to retrieve those losses.

Now the bet to have done is to have gone to the betting exchanges, Betfair or
Betdaq and click on the box for lay the draw, straight away you would get 2
bet's for your money.

When you lay the draw you are betting that one or the other team will win hence
the 2 for one bet, now here's the smart part as these games are live you can
trade your position as the game unfolds which allows you to lock in profits before
the game end's.

Now with the Man Utd game and Chelsea's you would not have to have done
anything, as both these side's had scored early the likely event of these games
ending in a draw was non existent and you would have won your money without
any need to trade.

How ever the Arsenal and Liverpool games were quite different, you would have to
traded in these games to (a) make a profit or (b) at worse to minimise losses.

Liverpool equalized with 20 minuets still to play so the odds for a draw would
have moved out with the market expecting Liverpool to go on and win this is
the time to make your trade, and now reverse your bet of laying the draw and
back the draw.

This action would give a small profit or at least minimised your losses
Now the Arsenal game was not so easy as they did not equalize until the 84 minute
but you should have been able to trade out of this by doing a reverse bet prior to
Arsenal equalizing.

The golden rule of trading is to back high and lay low.

Before a football match kicks off the odds for a draw is normally around the the 3 mark and this is the time to lay the draw.

When a goal is scored hopefully by the favourite as was the case in the Man Utd
and Chelsea games the odds for a draw will increase and this is when we make
our reverse bet i.e. backing the draw, by doing this you lock in your profit and can
sit back and watch the game with a smile on your face or go to the pub and celebrate.

How you could have guaranteed a profit by trading against Tiger Woods

Trading V Gambling
When on line gambling died and a new king was born long live the new king
long live the on-line trader.
A revelation swept the gambling world in June 2000 with the launch of the
betting exchanges.
Essentially these sites have allowed us punters to become bookmakers and have
introduced people to people betting thus doing away with the traditional bookmaker.
But more importantly they have given us the option of being able to trade our
bets.
Why is this important ? Well lets take the 2006 British Golf open ,this is a 4 day
event with 156 players taking part, the favourite for this tournament was
Tiger Woods.
Now Tiger is being labelled as the best golfer the world has seen and if you studied
his record you could not argue, but from a betting prospective you are being asked
to put your money down on 156 runner field that last over 4 days with Tigers odds
at 6/1.
So you go down to your local bookies or go on line and place your bet on Tiger then
sit back to watch your golf and hope you have made the right bet.
At the end of the first days golf the leaders score is 66 but there are 32 players
all within 3 points of the leader and a further 17 within 4 points so with 3 days
still to play there are 50 players all within 4 points of each other, and within those
50 players are some of the best golfers in the world including the best Tiger.
Now if your bookmaker phoned you up at this stage in the tournament and offered
to settle your bet at 30-40 or 50% of what you may win bearing in mind the above
what would you do ?.
Well this is what i did.
My bet was £100 at 6.60 (betting exchanges work in
decimals) this would give me a profit of £560 + my £100 stake if Tiger did win.
But of course if he lost i would lose my £100.
Thanks to the betting exchanges allowing us to trade this does not have to be the
case.
At the end of the first days play Tigers odds had come down to 3.45 from his
original 6.60 this would allow me to do a lay bet, in other words i was now going
to bet against Tiger.
Now i had a choice i could make my bet for £100 which meant that if Tiger did
not win then i would break even and win or lose nothing, if he did win my winnings
would be £315 or i could make my bet for £150 then if he lost i would win £50
who ever won but if Tiger did win then i would win £193.
Or i could leave the bet and gamble.
Before the arrival of the betting exchanges i would not be able to do any of the
above and would have had to agonise over the 4 days and hoped that Tiger could
weave his magic and i would win my bet , as things turned out i opted for the
£150 bet and sat back and watched 3 thrilling days of golf safe in the knowledge
that who ever won i would be at least £50 better off.
As history will show Tiger did weave his magic and came through to win by 2
points and i ended up £193 better off.
Yes i could of stuck to my original bet and have won a further £367 but that
would have been gambling, and i do not gamble any more i am a trader.
