This is an email after 1 bet (that lost)

This thread is not about whether the Nats at -180 are a bad play [not to mention the dumb comments people have made about this play].

[sq764]

If 180 is such a horrible price for was, then everyone on this forum and everyone they know should of taken florida for everything they could get there hands on.

this is pretty stupid reasoning... washington very well could have won the game..
Wouldn't you agree for -180, you should have a decided advantage and a BIG edge to feel confident about laying that? you do understand that -180 can be a bad play, while +165 for florida can also not be a good play?I don't see the correlation with one side being a terrible play making the other side a great play.. Mutually exclusive

[M@ximo]

..., so you are lossing and even though, they reduced your limit wagers???... what are they afraid of??!!

take your money out of there and play some where else...

[HedgeHog]

What money? He shot the entire wad on the Nats.

why would anyone bet on MLB at a place other than betfair or matchbook?

[wrongturn]

obviously not everybody are on the same page. duh

[Hareeba!]

it was obviously an arb
those rogue prices don't appear everywhere and don't last long

which also makes those comments about it being a dumb bet irrelevant

[lolguy999]

pls don't use terms you do not understand, mutually exclusive applies to two events that CANNOT happen at the same time. just b/c two events are not positively correlated as you contend do not mean they have -1 correlation.
