Hills have enhanced Celtic to win by 3 or more goals tonight from 9/2 to 11/2, but the -2 handicap is 8/13 4/7 or thereabouts across different firms. Isn't that the same bet? Only a few quid on it so far as well as a few quid on McGregor any time but if that price remains throughout the day I'll be shoving more on.

Where are you seeing this? It is the same bet but that sounds mad long.

It's on the top of the game page in Hills website. Much better odds than elsewhere but I don't trust Celtic to win by 3.

Hmm... Not the mobile site and I can't use the full one at work. The only enhanced odds it is showing me for the game is Dembele to score first and Celtic to win at a miserable (imo) 5/2.

Yeah, checked again and they've pulled it and replaced it with the Dembele one.

Yeah its gone and got an email to say the price was a palpable error and been amended to 8/11. Glad I never stuck any more on now as I kind of expected it when I saw the price difference as it happened to me for a bet in the world cup a couple of weeks ago aswell. 

Wonder if bookies are genuinly stupid enough to make glaring errors like that or they do it deliberately so folk pile on thinking they're on to a big winner.

I'm sure Sky Bet do it deliberately. A few times I've deposited money when I've seen some cracking odds and when I try to put it on, the bet is suspended and the odds tumble. They usually get the pay off when my alternative bet loses.

For those of you who have a McBookie account, Peterhead are 16/1 to win at home to Dundee tomorrow night.  Yes obviously Dundee should win, but 16/1 is far too big IMO so it's a decent value bet.

Also with McBookie, Hamilton to win to nil away to Berwick is 5/4 with McBookie.  Hamilton aren't great but Berwick have nothing up front, I forsee 0-2 or something of that ilk.

Hope you got the Peterhead bet on in time, now 12/1.

Maybe the P&B gambling collective piled on within minutes of my message.  I got 16/1 earlier today.

I've actually noticed odds getting cut super quick on Scottish matches lately.  Last week Ayr were put up at 1/2 to win away at Albion Rovers.  I thought I'll take a piece of that.  Went for lunch first and came back an hour later to place bet and they were into 2/7.  If you snooze you lose in this game.

How do McBookie compare odds wise to the other bigger outfits?

For football McBookie (also known as Bet Victor) tend to offer superior odds on UK football, they basically have a smaller margin / overround than the more famous bookies.

Obviously they still chop and change their odds and won’t always have the best price, but in general they offer best value for money over the course of a season. That said, their phone app is a bit basic compared to the likes of bet365.

I've been listening to the Business of Betting podcast quite a bit recently and a few ex-bookies have actually admitted that it's sometimes useful to, instead of blocking successful punters, take their bets on smaller stakes and adjust the market accordingly. Could be that a savvy punter(s) has tipped them off to their price being too long.

Is the podcast worth listening to?

I've heard mixed reviews.
