Similar markets to Over/Under 4.5

[yrufset]

Hello all Does someone here familiar with markets that behave like the over/under 4.5 market in soccer? to be more accurate, the odds should start around 1.15 to 1.1 and as the game runs they are dropping unless an event occurs. Is there something like that in tennis? Cricket? Horse racing? Snooker? any other sport...? btw, Froment rocks ;) i got a lot of useful knowledge out of his posts, so if you are reading this one, thank you!

Re: Similar markets to Over/Under 4.5 Ahahaha, thanks for compliment! :ok Though, I didn't think so about my posts... at least, I wouldn't say so looking at my bank - looks like it doesn't reflect my posts... :\ Sure enough I read - as soon as I saw "Under 4.5" in the title. From what I can recall at the moment, similar markets are "Total goals" - lay "5 goals or more" which in fact has exactly the same behaviour and odds as Under 4.5, except that liquidity is much lower; and 0-0 and AUQ at "Correct Score" market; usually you can back 0-0 or lay AUQ somewhere between 8 and 15 (which corresponds to back odds of 1.14 and 1.07) at kick off, and then lay 0-0 or back AUQ later in the game, if there is no goal, of course. Difference is that 0-0 drops pretty fast, after 15 minutes you can achieve as much as 15 to 20% profit... but one goal, and it's dead, that's why I don't like it. AUQ drifts up somewhat slower, and profits after 15 minutes rarely can be more than 4 to 5%; it is very similar to Under 4.5, there are many chances to green up or to escape during match; results 4-0 and 0-4 are losing ones for AUQ but winning for under 4.5, while 3-2, 2-3 and 3-3 are opposite cases; that's why you can sometimes decide to go for AUQ instead of Under 4.5, and vice versa - depends if one of the teams is clear favourite yet you don't expect many goals, or you expect both teams to score some goals, but none of them too many... Another similar market is "Team {} to win to nil", but it's available only on some matches, usually the "bigger" ones; it starts at variety of odds, so sometimes they will fall into range you ask for; I don't know how exactly they move, but that bet is also gone as soon as the oposing team scores. I don't know for other sports, someone else will shed more light, I hope; though, your definition of event is not very clear - for example, in racing, odds for the horse that takes lead at the beginning will keep dropping... untill other horse closes and overtakes him! ;) Similar in tennis - odds for server will keep dropping as long as server regularly wins his games.
