Congo/Austria U20

[fhmesq44]

I have no idea at all about this game or if something is going on. However, I have a scalp between 2 books and over the past probably 6-8 weeks all but 1 scalp has gone in the same direction. Additionally, 5dimes has this game circled and only a $250 limit.

So, if the scalp holds, Congo would be the play.

Here are the lines

Great call,game final score 1-1,could you elaborate what you mean by scalp?is it just because each team was favored with one of the two bookies?

 

[fhmesq44]

Scalp is where you can bet all sides with no risk. In this situation, play Congo on book 1, draw and Austria on book 2

$212.00 $477.00 Congo U20
$250.00 $440.00 Austria U20
$208.00 $482.56 Congo/Austria Draw

No matter the result I win $20. They had low limits on this game ($250) so that was all I could get.

Thanks for the explanation,in other words you mean arbitrage,excuse me
since English is nit my first language,appreciate taking the time to explain and share,so what made you belive the play is Congo,just coz the books were not rating the teams in same manner?If it happens again please let us know,even i am not using these books,i ll certainly play what your hunch is about.cheers:thumbsup:

Correct, same thing.

One book is slow to move and b/c of that often has these scalps/arbitrages and, in the past, all but 1 of about 14 instances had the winning bet on the side of that book. On last night's play, that book got the Congo play. Now it is all but 2 of about 15 instances that book has had the winner.

I will post them.
