So I was on oddschecker on Profit Accumulator when I noticed there was a match up with a rating of around 120. The back odds were much higher the the lay. Puting it into the calculator it said a guaranteed profit. By the time I spent messing around trying to get in to those accounts (10) mins it was no longer there on oddschecker.

I guess the lay odds must have changed? Does this kind of thing happen often?

Very often. Both back and lay odds can and often do change quickly. Especially just before a horse race is off.

BOB is Best odds bingo...risk free and high chance of winning.

Mecca have made a lot of changes to it in the last week so nowhere near as profitable. Might be worth a look still

So is this how people who do this full time make their money? Wait for a larger back bet than lay and quickly lay and back a a thousand quid or so?

No we make our money long term by just doing regular reload offers like everyone else can do!

Hi, @thefraz, Anything over 100 ratings is known as an 'arb' and is best avoided if you want to keep the bookie account as they do not like it, unsurprisingly.

Only time it is really okay to do bets where the lay odds are lower is on price boosts. They may crop up on horses just before the race but I do not really do them, so cannot comment on that aspect fairly.

Once you are 'gubbed' by a bookie you can look at 'arbing' then but they will reduce your stake limits quite quickly AND some bookies you MAY get 'ungubbed' in the future, so still need to take care (ladbrokes being one of them).

it's not MB. it's bingo as you know it with a small number of players and a refund if you don't win. They've taken way the high paying rooms so there is now an element of risk (if you win less than you have staked)

Interesting, thanks. Yeah it seemed a little too good to be true.

Hi @Knopfler do I take it that the bookies know the lay odds too, why would they drop the odds lower than the exchange sites if they Know this !!
I'll have to take care in the future, as I've done a few of these on Sky, thank you for the info and it's good to have the knowledge...Thanks @MAX POWER

Hi, @MAX POWER - yes they know what the lay odds are at the exact time you place your back bet - eek!

A good tip for anyone (I did not realise this until fairly recently):

Add ALL the exchanges in the calculator, even if you don't use them - that way you will see instantly if there is an ARB on the bet you are intending to place and do a different match instead.

After all the bookies don't know if or what exchange you are using, so you have to assume it is the one with the highest rating.

Try and hang on to your Sky one - I lost mine ages ago unfortunately.
