Well done Enjay.
Thanks for sharing those findings.
The POT may have been stronger using the Pre-post or Bookies opening prices because of the possible lower price being used as the divisor & possible snagging an overlay price on say Betfair.
Bookies opening price ,is generally, fairly low, thus the potential for greater overlay prices being secured , thus greater POT.
Using those Decimal odds instead of Fractional odds as the divisor into a
Take-out figure is a strong way of keeping those outlays to a more manageable level .
Especially when confronted with an Odds-on price.
Example.
Decimal odds as divisor--- 1.70 into 20.00 = O/L 12.00
Instead of ..
Fractional odds as divisor --- .7/1 into 20.00 = O/L 29.00
If this where to fall over , it would take a lot more resources to recover using Fractional odds as divisor.
This approach will usually work if using a different source for our divisor prices over a short run of outs .
If one wants more control again , just use bet sequence 2 2 3
as in say 10 10 15
That way you know your max liability up front.
But get the general idea for SR.
Thanks once again Enjay.
