In the rare case there is an arb between BF exchange and Pinnacle or BF exchange and SBO bet do you think BF exchange would be considered the soft book?

Nobody is a soft book and it’s not even worth it locking day and night for pennies


The definition of a soft book it’s just forgetting to change a line lazy workers


They basically just don’t pay attention they’re not soft

[Dirty Butcher]

Okay fine, in this case whose line do you think would be wrong in more cases if you want to put it that way? Feel like BF follows Pinnacle and SBO rather than the other way

You are talking Betfair, right?

Betfair is the soft one. In many cases you are beating another player or a market maker
Those people are in there because they can play with no commission

Whoever, whatever seeds their markets can be tagged

Why do you suppose they charge an extra commission to accounts with a lifetime figure over (what is it 20k)

[Dirty Butcher]

Thanks makes sense that's what I was suspecting, effectively you are free to take these opps until your commission charge gets too high effectively where it then becomes harder to find profitable opps

What happens a lot arbers are making a mistake or the line moves at the other book and you’re trapped

Unless you can get it greened out on both sides? A large win on one side (let's say a big money line dog) can cost so much commission.
