I get suggested bets with Bet365 on ice hockey like so:
“O(4.5), regular time”
My understanding is that this is an “Alternative Total 2-way” bet in Bet365. But, Bet365 settle those bets on overtime totals and not regular totals. The 3-way totals (which settle on regular time) are integers, so it can’t be that bet. What am I mis-understanding?
Essentially the system is giving you false arbs. They just don’t exist. Usually the ice hockey ones are quite lucrative, say, 3-4%. I actually lost at least £200 so far mis-placing these false arbs
Same here.
I lost out on an Arb because of this. That makes a significant hole in the profit! As per the rules (and I just finished a chat with Bet365) the 2-way market is including OT and penalty shoot-out (verify with your sport-book/market). Goal line and alternate Goal line does excludes the OT.
It is weird that the RB odds for the O/U matches the 2-way market when that leaves the better exposed.
