Exactly!

The odds they've offered are 1007/1. According to their own calculations, the probability of them losing would be roughly 3,000/1. So if you put this bet on every week of the Serie A season, you could reasonably expect to win once every 79 years. Good luck!

Delighted that gambling is one of the few ungodly vices I do not indulge in. This competition is a good reminder for why I should not indulge!

Since reading George's advice, i've found that i've been making a small (but respectable) profit every week. Looking for value in each bet, as opposed to lengthy accumulators, put me up £75 this weekend.

Gentlemen, I doff my virtual cap to you Wink

Regarding bankruptcy in the points game, I actually think that anyone who runs out of virtual cash should be out of the game. It's only fair...

I don't think I can be ars*d trying to bet my way out of a hole, and besides, what kind of example would that be setting to the more impressionable posters?

(Of course, I could just be saying all this because I doubt I actually could gamble my way back in to profit before the season's end...)

Looks like a decent site Juventino, thanks. Interesting they note arbitrages. I expect they are quickly out of date, but I'll have a butcher's at it.

So only 7 out of 23 players now have more "money" than they started with.

Are our bets valid for next weekend?

John D------- Taylor seems to think the games will be played on 20th April, so I don't think the bets are valid for next weekend. They are null and void.

And since I'll be in Andalucia on 20th April, with no internet access, and thus no arbs, insult is added to injury. As Sinead O'Connor almost said, JP 2 caused as much sorrow dead as he did when he was alive.
