    Thinking that Swansea are maximum bet material.

    Playing well without winning and will be busting a gut to win at St. James's park for the second year running. Would be a fourth win in a row against Newcastle. A win would see them pretty much safe.

    Newcastle have been poor at home this season and might be on a mental holiday as they have little to play for.

    2.75 is just about an acceptable price.


    You're welcome

    Will be having a few bucks on Hull. The front 2 are cup tied and I think their effort will make the difference.

    Am more than happy to take 4.5 about the home team.

    How the hell did Sunderland pull 4 points out of the City/Chelsea games, and it should have been 6!

    Liverpool's to lose now

    Surely is alright. Trading at 1.3 after that.

    Can lose to Chelsea now and still do it. No longer as enormous a game as it looked like being

    Yea, read that earlier. Picked up an injury apparently. Shame, he was a fine sight going right round Irish tracks.

    Guys in this thread pretty clued in so I'll fire away with my question regarding arbing. I know its frowned upon by bookmakers but my question for argument sake is as follows:

    Just imagine Bet365 had Lpool at 2.00 for league and at the same time you could lay them on Betfair at 1.50
    Obviously I have a straight forward Arb opportunity there, and I know the above situation would never happen, but wud Arbing using Betfair in that way lead to problems/restrictions from bookies for someone doing it?

    Once - probably not. Continuously - yes certainly. No.1 reason people get restricted

    Obviously the bookies dont know if you used Betfair to hedge however

    Thanks yeah that is what I am kind of wondering; would the bookies know in that situation that Betfair/any sports exchange has been used to gurantee a profit. I know bookie to bookie wud get one caught; just wondering if its risk free betting with the bookie and using the exchanges then to gurantee the money! And can a large stake be withheld if one is caught doing it?

    Uses to do a lot of UFC punting around 140, couple bets stand out to me tonight, Browne by TKO, Tate by decision, Cerrone by decision, Tavares by decision. 3 right would be a nice profit, ive done the usual trebles etc. Tavares by decision bet of the night for me.

    No you aren't doing anything illegal.

    Taking advantage of arbs is smart and you should get as much as you can on when situations arise.

    Norwich have a nice trip to Old Trafford next week after hosting Liverpool today

    Sunderland proved anything can happen but you'd have to assume they could be knocking on the trap door this time next week

    They're my Spanish team. Supported them since I saw Torres playing for them. I'd be brilliant if they did the double

    Ladbrokes were 2.09 -0.5 the day of the draw. 1.85 on Betfair & Pinnacle are shorter again.

    A good few big punters I know really rate them so I guess they were always gonna attract cash at odds against

    Yeah but to be fair Ladbrokes' AH odds aren't really representative of the industry. They're a law unto themselves at times.
