As someone who uses both I'd say you're better on the Sportsbook at the front of the market if you aren't too restricted as the commission wipes out any marginally better prices and you have BOG should your selection drift (again restriction permitting). The further away from the front you get, the bigger the discrepancy between sportsbook and exchange is. Just my experience anyway.
Doing Gods work! Preaching at least for people who are ready to hear it! I think most people will go with the crowd and will only look at the surface and never question price or value seriously. Even the Betfair Exchage wrote an obituary for the bookie and then it became a bookmaker themselves with the exchange section there to see and people are still using it!!🤣😂 I think the Exchange is like a stock market made for "professionals" and the Sportbook is like a candy store for adults that offer bright colors, bonuses, boosts, dumbed down simple "fun" via variance and of course terrible prices. Lets not forget that even on the exchange only a tiny precentage of people make all the profits long term..
Great video and a good insight into the whole business. I didn’t realise that these companies were so intertwined. I have to admit that I’m more often nowadays to use the Betfair Exchange. As an additional question, do you think Betdaq will grow now they are independent. The liquidity always seems low.
I suggest taking the best price available with Best Odds Guarantee if you can. Taking fixed prices without it can result in a shorter price than SP in the event of non-runners and rule 4 deductions.
Its the same as products you buy in shops, 80% of what you buy in the major supermarkets, or smaller shops, are actually manufactured, or owned by a the same companies. Nestle, coca cola, pepsi, kraft, mondalez, associated british foods, unilever, danone, kellogs, mars, general mills. So even if you detest the practises of any of these companies, your likely to be buying their other products without realising.
I think the cheeky thing about betting is that there is no real reason why you wouldn't offer a better price as it's already on their system. No other costs involed. It's a right old ripoff.
As an extension to the supermarket analogy - the same bookmaker similarly offer the same (repackaged) product in different "aisles" at different prices. For example, Southampton to beat Arsenal today (exchange currently 7.20/7.40): * Match Odds - 6.50 * Enhanced Match Odds (no promotions) - 7.00 * Bet Builder for "Southampton + over 0.5 goals" - 6.00 (and 5.80 elsewhere) Correct Score markets in particular being brutal for unaware punters - one site offering 11.0 (over/under), 13.0 and 17.0 for 0-0 - all with a substantial margin over the exchange price of 20.0/21.0!
Y, I think that's a good angle also. I always start with a 30 minute video and try and trim it down a bit, so I did elaborate on pricing, but thought I may do that in another video.
Odds comparison sites are pretty slow to update and often behind exchanges as are most markets. But you can find discrepancies here and there. It's just a bit rare.
If I was to start a retail bookies I would just lay off on the exchange. Then promise no frills but the most legit bookie. That always pays out and doesn't ban winners. These days for retail that's uncommon. My full-timer is actually in marketing and brand positioning. I'm shocked the bigger guys don't adopt this but then again they have it made with their theatre versions of what a bookie is. lol
I agree this would be a great model. But it seems most bookies are just too greedy and want people to lose money as fast as possible. Ultimately that is why legislation is turning against them.
So how does this work with stake restrictions? If one company owns 2 brands can it share your betting patterns with itself ? Or are you covered with GDPR ? Oh man I have a headache now 😫
Just playing devils advocate , waitrose has essentials :) Also you did not mention the tote - it is fairly easy to bet on the tote knowing you will get a better price than "the bookies".
The Tote is a shadow of what it used to be. There's a large no of newer younger punters that don't really know about it or use it. Also these days you rarely get a much better price than sp.
That approach is too generic. You really need to come up with a strategy of some sort. Generally speaking people love to win, so they bet at short odds at that feels good. But, as a result, there is less likely to be value at short odds.
hi Peter, thanks for your videos they are always great advisors. But I would like to ask you if you are doing a specific course on horse racing, or on sports trading ..... I would be your first customer 😇
We are looking to improve the content at the Academy over the winter. I'm starting to think it may be worth doing more detailed content on there and shorter content on UA-cam.
Hmmmmm...How can a bookmaker look at Betfair to get an idea of prices when Betfair don't have any liquidity in their markets the evening before racing?
Betfair and bookmakers put up early prices for small money to tease out the smart money and prices. Betfair actually seed their markets to do this. But no one, including bookmakers, will offer large amounts early on as they will get picked off by sharp money. At least on an exchange if you have discovered true value it's possible to put substantial sums on it. You just can't do that with a bookie.
@@betangeltv BF Sportsbook and Hills in particular may well use the early markets they put out before the others to use as early indicators. But you said in your video that bookmakers look at the exchanges before pricing up their markets? This can't be true as there are no prices to show (around 5-6pm the night before racing) on the BF exchange due to very little liquidity. I think bookmakers use their own tissue to price up a race early doors and only later when liquidity is much higher on BF are prices governed by exchange activity.
Betfair seed their markets with their own tissue prices. If you are smart there is money to be made taking these early prices. But there isn’t much volume. Consensus in the industry is not to offer early prices on racing, regardless of who you are. As only the best prices get picked off by the sharp money.
@@betangeltv Ok, you've completely lost me! 'Betfair seed their markets'? On the exchange you mean? At what time are you talking about? There are no markets/prices/tissue on the Betfair exchange the night before racing at the same time the bookies price up at around 5-6pm - BFSB/Hills.
Seeding for small money kicks off opinion and activity. Bigger markets populate all by themselves some time out. Friday's Cheltenham markets have a variety of prices 24 hours or more out. All betting establishments use early markets to find where the smart money is.
The odds on offer were a bit irrelevant as they were all created on the same book and often the same pricing team. Also, exchange odds are always higher. So if you want a true comparison put up the exchange odds as the price leader, rather than hiding them and only infrequently updating them.
I know it’s mental. I don’t know what their earnings were but I guess it must have justified it somehow. I know they charge an arm and a leg to be listed on the site. But when you look at how much traffic it has, it doesn’t seem to justify the fee, especially given the nature of the market.
Thanks for all your videos Peter - such a wealth of information! I did wonder about who-owns-who as I suspected it was all under a few banners - Oddschecker was a surprise!
hello betangel you are the most legit Betfair trader I have seen so far, am not saying this to make you feel good but it's just the hard truth, and also can a person automate an under 2.5 goals strategy with betangel
Many thanks for your comments. Unfortunately, most people are here to exploit people who want to bet or trade profitably, rather than really help them. Sad but true. Yes, you can automate pretty much anything you want to do with Bet Angel. Visit the forum for lots of examples.
I've no idea, I couldn't believe it. I mean, it's not a great idea anyhow, but I guess the earnings must have justified it! Amazing price for a service that can't really offer much value add.
Unfortunately I'm restricted from most bookmakers accounts so I only have Betfair to choose from.

It feels like that, people just want to pick a winner. No consideration on price, and the big corporates know it!
What an excellent psychological start to this video! Waitrose you are correct my eyebrows raised considerably.
Thank you.

Fascinating isn't it?
basically just bet on the exchange for better odds, and no where else
More or less, yes.
So how does this work with stake restrictions? If one company owns 2 brands can it share your betting patterns with itself ? Or are you covered with GDPR ? Oh man I have a headache now 😫
It all comes down to terms and conditions. But technically if a betting company is part of a group of companies it can share information.
@@betangeltv that'll explain why I lost 2 accounts in as many days then 🤔

hello I'm new in betting.....is Betting on Low odds good idea?
That approach is too generic. You really need to come up with a strategy of some sort.
Generally speaking people love to win, so they bet at short odds at that feels good. But, as a result, there is less likely to be value at short odds.
Did you make a video on optimal covering strategy?
No, I need to do one.

You do, but it's only 2% and if you trade you only pay commission on your profit.

Sir , how can I find correct score
Not sure I understand the question?
"no odds to compare " ? Are you saying they were displaying fake odds ? I'm in the US so dont follow oddschecker.
The odds on offer were a bit irrelevant as they were all created on the same book and often the same pricing team. Also, exchange odds are always higher. So if you want a true comparison put up the exchange odds as the price leader, rather than hiding them and only infrequently updating them.
Is there anyone who can help setup automation?
Your best bet is to visit the forum, where there are loads of examples and help.
We don't have the resources to help people on an individual basis.
Say again?! 155 mil just for oddschecker?!
I know it’s mental. I don’t know what their earnings were but I guess it must have justified it somehow.

Y, it always feels a bit uncomfortable to me that there is no independent comparison site. But there, there isn't really a need for one.
