Live odds fckups

[Sam_Hawkins]

Don't you just love when the guy reporting the score with a cell phone watching the match just messes up reporting and for like 3 secs there are wrong odds and you manage to place a bet?
Happened just now, williams-bouchard match, second game of third set, before the game started the odds were:
Bouchard(svr) to win 20. game / Williams to win 20. game 2.1/1.66 (or something similar)

Williams won first fifteen but it was (on Bet365 live betting) given to bouchard, so the odds for williams to win the game were at that point 2.2 - placed one unit and voila Williams broken to 0.

Yeah right, you really expect me to believe that?

[Sam_Hawkins]

It does happen. I got the under 18 in a serena match at 2.8 against a nobody before the match even started at 5dimes lol before.Oddsmakers make there mistakes. The over was like 1.3 haha.

and you lost, right?

No I took the under at 2.8 and it won. 5dimes seems to not care about odds a lot. It payed and everything. I would find it and post it but I bet too much and it would take forever to find.

"at 2.8 against a nobody" I assume not

"at 2.8 against a nobody" I assume not

they way Serena plays NOBODY could mean almost anyone in WTA

[Demonata]

It was a match a while ago. Think it was against flipkens or sometning

Have you done this with a live guy there many times Sam?

Sounds like it would be a huge advantage.

Wondering how much you could win on one tourney before the book booted you though...

the thing with Bet365 is that very often they will correct their errors: if the odds were wrong (bigger) they might let the bet stand but will adjust the odds; if there is a statistical error, they will cancel the bet

It actually doesn't happen nearly that much...but I usually watch a match and from time to time it happens - also, for example, the odds are sometimes slow to update after break of serve so you can book a bet for a price @ 40-A when the serve's been already broken, which is cool

Don't worry, I didn't engage my brain before asking that. No use unless you are using Betfair and they dont have point betting.
