WNBA - Bookmakers constantly make mistakes for arbitrage opportunities
-
Hey everyone, Im sure no one here would have bet on WNBA before, and the UK time zone doesn't help haha!
But anyway, WNBA the bookmakers have been making mistakes for years on WNBA. I think bookmakers just chuck on autopilot. WNBA sees huge movement pre-game, with a 4 point handicap swing being somewhat normal. This is fantastic because you'll see bookmakers like 1xBet taking the charge with bookmakers following their lead - but with a fair delay. The liquidity on Betfair is dead right up until game time, but close to tip-off, you can get a decent bet down.
So if you see a fair odds difference between your preferred bookie and 1xBet early on - as in 12-24 hours before game time, I can guarantee that odds will drop and follow the lead of 1xbet. Normally you can get an easy 15 - 20 tick movement from this and lay it off close to game time.I've been doing this for a few years now and it never fails. It's not just those as opportunities, they can come at any time. For example, today I noticed on Bet365 that 10 minutes pre-game between Dallas and Atlanta, the pre-game odds was Dallas $5.50, but they also had the live market up, which was offering Dallas at $6.50. So I backed Dallas at $6.50 and laid it off at $6 on Betfair. When the game went live, Atlanta was taking the lead over Dallas, and Dallas cash out was constantly moving up as they were losing! They just have no clue! So I cashed out my Bet365 bet and backed Dallas for even cash out on Betfair for some extra money.
So whether you notice these opportunities between bookmakers and just set a lay bet to go in-play as I'm sure most of you will be sleeping in the UK, but it's well worth keeping an eye on. Hopefully, this will make someone some money
Cheers

@jason-parker Same I love the automation its the future!

@ryan-carruthers Haha I do like things automated, eliminates human error and beat human speed, we all know you have to be quick to win at this game! Can get easy automation such as notifications that can trigger if bookie A moves 20 ticks but bookie B stays the same. I'm sure plenty of people already do that, but it would be nice for sure!

Lol! I got this after Indiana scored a buzzer beater and won, someone left everything up for me to take! Not sure if their feeds were extremely delayed or what but easy $$$ all round on the WNBA
