At the moment I have a position on the York vs Exeter game. I have money in WBX that I want to move to Betfair if I can so I laid York on WBX. I did it that way also because if the odds available. I was able to lay at 2.86 on WBX and back on Betfair at 2.90. That gives me a bit of an edge, I won’t be losing anything due to the difference in prices. having said that though I am still struggling to work out the right proportions for the matching of bets from one site compared to another. My difficulty compounbed further with this one due to currency conversions also. WBX only do pounds sterling and my account on betfair is Euro, of course.
Right now I have a lay bet of £15.90 on WBX and I have been fiddling with Betfair by trading some movements in the run up to the start of the game. Right now on Betfair I have a liability if 13.89 euro which is about £10.77 and I will win €26.38 (£20.46 approx). This leaves it so that if York wins the game I will have €26.38 in Betfair and lose the £15.91 on WBX. If York loses the game then I will lose €13.89 on Betfair and win £8.55 on WBX. I haven’t got it the way I want it yet but I will trade it some more to get it right.
