Beyond Dodgy Betting in Italy

Vicenza v Crotone tonight in Serie B

Betfair have had almost 700k matched so far on the draw when usually would have around 20-30k matched

Draw is currently 1.68...Correct score 1-1 is 2.5!

Most other bookies have suspended taking bets on it.

 

Frosinone v Modena draw odds are very low as well with 400k matched

 

Nothing will be done mind will it.

Made plenty on the Chievo - Catania game on sunday and 2 bent Greek games, not touching these though.

 

When theres been one obvious fix you always get people looking for similar straight after and just lumping on so a snowball effect starts. It was the same after Grosetto v Gallipoli. I'll probably regret my decision by half 9 but im not touching tonights.

 

There will be plenty of better opportunities in the next 2 months.

I did think that so stayed clear of this. Will be interesting/annoying to see what happens.

Terek Grozny v Rostov on Saturday was a cracking one.

Haha 1.49 was available to lay then, f***ing hell.

 

Its either market manipulation gone mad or they're at it again.

 

I prefer the weekend games as hardly anything is bet during the week so when 1000s suddenly come along on the tuesday or wednesday its ace and you can quickly get on before it crashes.

Wonder how many mugs got gubbed on that?

Ronald Huth let in one too many.

There'll be loads of muppets on the betfair forum losing their bank. Especially after the recent genuine fixes.

Some smart eggs have made a killing backing the draw at 2/1 and laying off

Catania v Palermo

 

95% of the matched money on betfair on the draw

only 2.4

 

Draw would benefit Juve

 

Just thinking out loud here

There will be plenty of better opportunities in the next 2 months.

I think this thread should be kept alive so I can take advantage of this! How do you find out?

Bologna Lazio this afternoon.

Draw is 1.60

[Sion]

Bologna were 2-0 up. Lazio then score 3 without reply.

 

2-3 FT

 

lots of fingers burnt there. Another fake fix

They're not priced up because they're fixed, they're priced up because they're results of convenience and people over react massively.

If what Moggi is saying at his trial about what Inter did during the good ole days when he was stiching up Serie A then there might be a spotlight on this once more.
