Rescued 70 quid of the 100 I laid out by taking over 0.5 goals at 7/2 about 5 mins from the end of extra time.

Think I'll leave the other game alone

Anyone familiar with arbitrage betting ? Currently researching this and testing out some formulas but getting confused. Looking at an example of Brazil vs Columbia match. It has 3 outcomes Brazil/Columbia/Draw.

If you bet £47.61 on Paddy Power for Columbia to win it will return £214.25
If you then lay Columbia on betfair £20.41 @ 4.9 it will return £100.00

Meaning your total outlay would be £68.02 for a guaranteed minimum return of £100 ???

Can this be right ??!!

I thought arbitrage betting was backing all outcomes to guarantee profit? e.g Backing at higher odds than you are laying?

Going by your figures...

on Paddypower:
Colombia win = +£166.64
Colombia draw/lose = -£47.61

On Betfair:
Colombia win = -£80
Colombia draw/lose = +£20.41

Total:
Colombia win = +£86.64
Colombia draw/lose = -£27.20

Here you seem to be backing at 7/2 but laying at 4/1, you want that to be the other way round.

If Colombia win you bank £214 from PP, minus the £20.41 you staked on BF

If Brazil win you bank £100 from BF minus the
£47.61 you bet on PP

if the game is a draw you lose both bets


unless my very basic understanding of the word lay is wrong,
which is quite possible. does it mean bet against - as in bet they will lose or simply that they will not win (including the draw)?

 
Laying is acting as the bookmaker. So if you lay Colombia to win for £20 @ 4/1 you are risking £80 to win £20. You lose your £80 if Colombia win.

The blue column are the odds you are getting, the pink column are the odds you are offering someone else.

You could back Colombia to win @ 4.8 so if you were to put £10 on then the following would happen...

Colombia win = You win £38
Colombia draw/lose = You lose £10

If you lay Colombia to win at 4.9, you are offering those odds to someone else so the following would happen.

Colombia win = You lose £39
Colombia draw/lose = You win £10

In short, if you were to lay Colombia to win at 4/1 you are getting odds of 1/4 that they won't win.
