Betting Opportunity

Shakhtar's Alex Teixiera appears to be nearing a move to Liverpool, on Betfair he's currently 2/1 to sign for Liverpool before Febuary 3rd. On Skybet he's 4/1 to Stay at Shakhtar after February 3rd, excellent moneymaking opportunity.

As long as he doesn't sign for someone else....

Chelsea seem the only other possible destination and they are at 8/1. After that:

Arsenal
20/1
PSG
28/1
Barcelona
33/1
Man City
33/1
Juventus
50/1
Real Madrid
50/1

Great, so if I cover my back and put a tenner on all three (Chelsea too) and he joins Liverpool I get my money back. Close, but no cigar.

Yes but if he stays at Shaktar or joins Chelsea, you're quids in.


I might get involved...

 

[NorthStandSteward]

£10 On Liverpool - Break Even
£10 On Shakhtar - £20 profit
£10 On Chelsea - £60 Profit.

Seems decent enough.

Best of luck. You obviously are reliant upon another club not getting involved this week but that's the gamble.

£10 On Shakhtar - £20 profit
£10 On Chelsea - £60 Profit.

Seems decent enough.

£30 On Liverpool - £10 profit
£10 On Shakhtar - £10 loss (least likely)
£10 On Chelsea - £10 Profit

Is that right?

Personally I reckon him staying at Shakhtar is the most likely outcome and him going to Chelsea is the least.

If you're outgoings total £50 as you've posted, if he goes to Liverpool you would profit £40, If he stays at Shakhtar you would break even and If he goes to Chelsea you would profit £40.

Sorry, was trying to thumbs up that post.

Certainly an excellent moneymaking opportunity for anybody connected with the player who knows his intentions.

Assuming no other interested parties, you could always Dutch it:

£5 on staying
£15.50 on Liverpool
£5.15 on Chelsea

Locks in a 50% profit:

Would you get the bets on ? Only takes one of the legs not to be allowed and you're knackered

2/1 on Betfair Exchange is equivalent to evens, is it not? No stake back. No problem with Betfair Sportbook.
Which one is it with?

 

[Albumen]

The 4/1 to stay on has a big clause too, indication if he signed and stayed on loan the bet is invalid. Too risky.

Apart from the fact the won't lay a bet.

2/1 is 2/1 wherever it is. You are referring to "2" (evens,) an example of the unnecessary decimilisation of prices favoured by the "new" breed of bettor.

 

[NorthStandSteward]

My understanding is that it would count as a transfer to whoever he moves to, which is basically Liverpool or a slight possibility of Chelsea. I think it's fairly unlikely that Liverpool would spunk £30 odd million on a player who would return on loan to Shakhtar for 6 months though,

 

[NorthStandSteward]

Looks like a few people must of got on, Teixeira to stay at Shakhtar has come in from 4/1 to 6/4 with Skybet and Shakthar to end up at Liverpool has gone from 2/1 to 1/5 on Betfair.
