If you call that looking for value, yes I cheerfully admit I am.


2.50 is no good for the strike rate you mention Marcus. You would have to do better than that. At best your treading water [25%SR], at worst your losing [20%SR].

'Fair' price or 'Value' is subjective and basically means a price that is profitable for your [own] SR. A personal value to be worked out from punter to punter and from bet to bet. Trying to put a definition on it for everyone has as much chance as trying to define 'big'.
