Good odds?

Post by Claretto » Tue Feb 14, 2017 9:15 am

We are 1.37 to beat Lincoln on betfair exchange. Seems excellent value?

Seems like you'd have to lump a lot of cash on to get any kind of decent return.

Yes, 2.7x what you hope to win.

You haven't addressed the question though. Is it good value?

It's perhaps a little generous but I can't see many people lumping on it.

Businesses put up bigger risks for fewer reward on a daily basis.

I prefer the odds of 10/11 on the -1 handicap

I went for 7/10 on the Burnley win and <4.5 goals.

Not usually on an all-or-nothing basis. Business may be hoping for less than 37% profit, but not normally on a risk of 100% loss.
