Team B is $4.20
Lay them for stake $10 each
Odds sometime later...
Team A $1.27
Team B $4.60
Back them for stake $10 each
You are left with
Team A -.50c if it wins
Team B +$4.00 if it wins
You can see the odds advantage here.
Essentually you've layed team A at odds of $1.125 or backed team B at odds of $9.00
If you get my drift, regardless of this particular outcome, long term you're getting overs both ways.
*AFL Collingwood v Carlton was used in this example.

Hi CP, thanks for this but I'm probably missing something. Wouldn't the fave team win more often and wouldn't they normally firm therefore losing more often?
Are you talking about two team bets with no draws or do you also do this with drawers in soccer?
And what type of player markets are you talking about?
Sorry for the questions but it seems counter-intuitive (I didn't think I'd use that word this year).
