Betfair over-time

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

As i was surfing the net i found an interesting situation at Betfair.

Betfair Market

What is this? A double overtime game so they double the markets?
I could live with the doubling up, but there are different prices on each line!

Very confusing. And the over-rounds were playing havoc with my brain.

Everton vs Aston Villa, 2 goals in extratime

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

Everton vs Aston Villa was a match in which you learn that the match in not over untill the final wistle. Aston Villa was in front 2-1 untill the 92nd minute, when defender Lescott scored the second equalizer to bring it to a 2-2 score. You would really think that the match is over by now. Think again :)

Young managed to score the winner with only seconds left and Villa took all 3 points.

This match reminds me of the Turkey - Croatia match from this summers at the Euro.

Here are the betfair graphics for this match. One is the draw graphic and the other the Villa graphic

Manchester wins with the help of a late Vidic goal

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

Manchester played Sunderland yesterday, in the Premier League.Sunderland weren’t in the best of form and with couch Keane deciding to leave the club just before the match, Manchester looked as huge favorites.

Above we have the Manchester United betfair graphic at half time.It clearly shows that United was quite the favorite, with some big bets on a United win.But despite the fact that United was the better team on the pitch they didn’t manage to score any goals and the scoreline was 0-0 at half time.

The second half begun and United continued to dominate, but still no goal.Ronaldo had to be changed and that didn’t help the United “backers” at all.So, the odds kept on going up and up and up.

And then, when you would think United has no chance, and Sunderland managed to get at least one point, Vidic scores.

Arsenal - Spurs 4-4

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Maybe a little late, but better late than never.

During this midweek, Arsenal played Spurs and after the change of couch at Spurs, things seem to have gone back to the way they were.Spurs score and receive a lot of goals.But that not what i wanted to say.

Arsenal - Spurs betfair graphic

Take a look at the betfair graphic up above.Spurs scored two late goal which turned the match upside down.There were matched bets at 1.01 1.02 1.03 before Spurs decided not to lose the match.If you look closely, one line on the graphic even reaches the 400 000 GBP barrier.
