Milners Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 mmm i wonder how much quite a few lost on this market - very scary stuff too and all thinking they are getting a free cash but they should have read the rules before getting involved in first goalscorer markets. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=386063 http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=386241 Finally this thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=386383 Link to comment
minijc Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I don't really understand that, are they basically scamming betfair? or are they just making profit to cover losses? Have you done this before milners? Link to comment
Milners Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 I don't really understand that, are they basically scamming betfair? or are they just making profit to cover losses? Have you done this before milners? scaming no as betfair is only a exchange and not a bookie but its what people call arbitrages (sure bets). There is plenty of sure bets every day that some people do but its for basically pennies unless you bet massive. The guys that did this should have read the rules as all players that didn't play is counted as void which will muck up the betfair software that tells your liabilities - Arsenal played basically a reserve team that hurt the market of goalscorers.

minijc Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 AHH ok, i kind of understand now, you would think they would have common sense to realise Wenger is a man of his word and if he says he'll play with the young guns he'll do it. Link to comment
Milners Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Betfair has cancelled the market on first goal scorers for the time being!!! Not a good situation that some are in, some have lost thousands of pounds especially when Walcott was about 35/1 before the team news. Link to comment
Guest LondonScottish Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 One of the scams when these bets first started was the time in seconds of the first throw in. They'd usually make a market of say 50-55, but some of the players cottoned on and the occasional ball was hammered out near enough form the kick-off, with a make-up of say 2 seconds. Mssive guaranteed profit, jus had to hope you won the toss!!! Link to comment
