Exactly, and look at the effective odds you've got to liability!
Of course there will be lots of small losses, but when an outsider wins it's cash in the bank way over the odds. Plus there are times when the favourite drifts and wins at short prices. Not every transaction will be an overlay, I have got under the effective odds a few times, and the same effective odds also, but the overlays achieved outweigh any losses.
The downside is the amount of manual work involved, scanning sports, putting your lays on, THEN making sure all backs are put on right before the match.
The good side is that id you make a boo boo, and you will, and miss out on putting the back part on for whatever reason, you only lose less than 1% anyway.
I now have my spreadsheet and transfer the pre event time to my outlook calendar. I then, sync my Iphone and get a reminder. So I can trade out on the mobile site if not at home.
EPL soccer is brilliant because the have SP. I have also asked about having sport SP in the Betfair Q&A on the 27th.
