Ah. I wondered that. That’s not what the rules say, but would make more sense than City to win at 230/1!
I’m out then.
EDIT: actually, you can read the rules in the way that you say. I just didn’t read them that way. Somewhat ambiguous.
Betfair exchange.
I wondered if you’d be betting on the whole market, but it doesn’t appear like it. Each bet is separately listed.
I haven’t made either bet because I can’t believe my interpretation is correct. City to win at 230/1, Spurs being 25 points off top at 40/1? Can’t be right.
I’ll also end up with more money if I give up my ST, eat only potatoes, stop heating my house, and sell all my possessions. I choose not to do these things in the pursuit of a larger bank balance because they give me pleasure - more pleasure than I’d derive from having more money in the bank...
The cellar’s been self-financing for 30 years now.
I started out looking for odds on Albion finishing top 10, and didn’t like them, so went browsing... a gentle bit of entertainment, s’all.
I was looking through random betting markets for the PL and found something that I don’t quite believe...
Handicap Win 20/21 Spurs +25 40/1.
The market rules say ‘who will win the league with the stated points handicap applied?’
Surely, they can’t mean they’re offering 40/1 against Spurs...
