    Benitez is 6-4 with bet365 to be Liverpool manager on the first day of next season and 6-5 with Ladbrokes NOT to be. Back both and you're guaranteed to win.

    So this was printed on a national paper? Heh.

    What's the max bet, 100? You'd make **** all on something like this - and you'll be waiting a long time for your return.

    Guaranteed to win with a loss. Whats the point in that.

    What do you mean? Time value of money?

    ?????. The OP has just given you a 100% guaranteed winner, a 14% arb, and you are complaining :confused:

    Are u insane?
    You make a net gain no matter what the outcome, the point is its a
    guaranteed winner, it dont happen too often.

    6-4 = 2.50

    6-5 = 2.20


    If he is still manager next autumn(100€ bet) = 250 return
    If he is NOT manager next autumn(100€ bet) = 220 return

    From your €200 outlay you will at least make 20euro...

    How about this one?

    Corals offer 5-2 for Beckham to finish on 99 caps
    2-1 with Paddy Power that he brings up the ton

    5/2 = 3.5
    2/1 = 3

    Making €100 for every €200!

    Most idiotic post in quite some time.

    An arb is an arb. Free money.

    Great spot OP. Odds on arbs never last long though. You'd have to be on quite early this morning or even last night.

    Exactly. Derek McGovern would be best off taking out as much as he could on the bet through intermediares rather than highlighting the bet to the nation. Take 2 seconds for one or both companies to pull the odds back in line and opportunity gone whilst Del can take credit for putting his followers in clover!

    Derek McGovern is a legend. He throws up some good bets from time to time while entertaining you. I wouldn't follow him blind mind you.

    Better interest rate than rabobank 10% for 6 months !

    Coral have him now @ 5/4 not to make the 100


  • Registered Users Posts: 470 ✭✭PIMPHO


    PP is now 4/6 he makes 100 and 11/10 he doesn't.

    Damn!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭Pj!


    LoL, if you read about an arb in a newspaper you're already too late.

    Even if you happen to spot one yourself, you'd want to be getting the bets on sharpish.


  • Registered Users Posts: 303 ✭✭solskjaer20


    Obviously the chance for arb's long gone now, but can anyone link me to the market for Rafa on bet365 and ladbrokes, cause for some reason (ie sleep deprivation) I can't find them.
