    don't know if it is a good bet or not... but getting a 2 point window in a 2nd half seems intriguing... Bama wins by 8 or 9 2nd half... sweep both...

    Bear in mind that of the two side of an arb, normally only one will be +EV. As such, even though you still have the issue of being limited, you get far more bang for the buck when identifying which one and playing only that side.
    Very good point, probably make much more doing that.

    An exchange with good liquidity is the only place to scalp with any consistency.

    You really think Betfair is better for scalping than Pinny?
