I would not have started this thread if not for a rude reply at the end of this topic > https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49023539

So I just checked two random bets and here is what I found.

Backed the player Tsonga @ 2.25 while he was available well above these odds (@ 2.45) while it is not easy to get the top odds, here it was definitely achievable.



Then second random bet I check is Bolelli @ 1.81, and he was available well above that too ( @ 1.90)




It's impossible to believe anyone can make money long term on sports betting if not getting the value, best odds available. You will end up broke, plain and simple. Most punters don't realize even the difference between 1.90 and 1.87 is huge in the long term. But the two examples above are even bigger difference.

This thread is just a reminder.

To conclude I'll post this great article from a professional (and great guy too) > https://www.daily25.com/why-every-cent-really-does-count-getting-the-best-odds/  Even 0.01 (1 cent) makes a massive difference. Shocking figures.
