Richmond to win is $1.96 with the corporates and $2.10 on Betfair. Just looks easy money.
Speaking of, Betfair allows you to play bookie and lay bets. I've laid Port to make the grand final and to win it. They can't win it. Cannot. And it will be a miracle if they beat two of Richmond, West Coast, Brisbane, GWS or Collingwood to make it.
You're taking another punter's money, as you are with any bet on Betfair. They just act as agents and take a small percentage from whoever wins. It's why their odds are always better, because it's a genuine exchange, like a stock market. There's no 'house'.yeah its free money tonight spook. help yourself.
how does the laying work? and are you taking some poor dumb *smile* money, or are you taking bookies money?
if its the latter, that opens a big pandoras box full of creme de menthe.
I reckon theres money to be made laying WC as soon as a Gabba GF is locked in. Simpson will sook and moan and they'll fold.
come to think of it, you could lay 7 of the top 8 without a worry in the world

The down side is you have to risk a lot to win a little, with the money held for a long time. $10 runners in races have to be layed at $13+. I've done a bit of it but laying is hard yakka in the long run. The odds on Betfair with markets effectively at 100% really highlight the absurdly high take out from TABs and corporates and how backing on those outlets makes it impossible to be in front long term.You're taking another punter's money, as you are with any bet on Betfair.

You sets your price and if someone matches it, they match it. If not, no bet. I'll be paying $4 if Port makes the grand final. I'm pretty comfortable with that. I agree that generally prices are much better than corporates, but if you identify when the market has it wrong there are opportunities to lay. It's not something I do a lot of, though.The down side is you have to risk a lot to win a little, with the money held for a long time. $10 runners in races have to be layed at $13+.

If taking money from poor dumb people was my thing,
I'd probably buy a Harvey Norman franchise.
I enjoy taking from the white-teethed, shiny haired, private schooled crooked heirs who have plenty more.
Had a nibble on Stack at $81 to be the leading goal kicker, and the Higlet at $41.
I think I'll probably need it, but I'm in a rare bit of form at the moment.good luck
ok thanks tigermanI think I'll probably need it, but I'm in a rare bit of form at the moment.
Wrong thread, but keep your eye out for Showmanship in a week or two, along with Regal Power.
Having a bet eZyT, reckon Jack or Dusty might have a night out.
eZy monay. You'll be happy to know I hit the bookies and not the poor dumb buggers.
