I"m in... started last night with £10 on the NY Knicks to beat Detroit Pistons @ 1/9... up to £11.11.

I can"t see me ever being able to keep letting it roll once if it gets much over £100!  :-\ Such a nit!!!

But, as suggested by Mark, a little profit taking along the way may ease the pain.

What"s the odds in decimal 1.10? Because that will give you a lot of bet in play opportunity for example when it is a dead cert victory

Yeah, this is what I am thinking. Might be an outside chance of getting it done this way.

I suspect you"ll find that the price gets a lot less than 1.1 by the time an event is anything like a "dead cert".

My current theory, which has a 100% success rate (I accept that ONE is quite a small sample size), is that American sports  (NBA for example) have really in depth analysis carried out by very knowledgeable people and a 1/10 favourite in a two horse race really shouldn"t be getting beat very often*.



(*I know, i know, it should get beat once in eleven times.)

Yeah not a dead cert obv but in play is likely still the best way of going about it I would guess.

Please note I am a total fish at sports betting.
