    Paddydepower giving 8/11 on liverpool not going through to last 16 in the champions league, they are willing to accept 2k max bet.
    (football/european/championsleague/last16)

    Betyfair have a few grand available @ 2.6 odd on liverpool to qualify to last 16
    (championsleague/groupA/qualify)


    Puff power is making the mistake,..... free cash.

    A nice earner if you can afford to tie up your cash for a while, I cant so , so thought i'd pass it on!!

    after commission on betfair the 2.6 is really around 2.5 (assuming around 4pc comission). so you are left with basically 8/11 not to qualify and 6/4 to qualify in reality. so a small arb really if your into that kind of thing.

    think you d be better off deciding which one is wrong and backing that rather than doing the arb

    very little .

    just say one is 6/4 and the other 8/11

    let say you want to get back a 1000 no matter what happens

    so on th 6/4 you put on 1000/2.5 = 400

    on the 8/11 you put on 1000/1.727 = 579

    s0 579 +400 = 979

    so for every 979 you put on you will get back a 1000

    so about 2pc profit

    there are different ways to do these calculations, also on oddschecker there is a tool which will do these calculations

    LOL ,...thats the best value around for Liverpool,..and it wont last.

    Im only posting for the benifit of others, I'd take it myself if i had the money.
    I occasionally have funbets, but other than that i dont loose a cent , and i make half a weeks wages on arbs every week, sometimes of a lot more... but never less .

    Lob all the profit on to one side , if you think liverpool will qualify , or not to qualify, it makes its interesting and fun for footie fans and boosts your profit margin as a free bet.
