Question about : backing the (football-)outsider on Betfair

[Tonyvdb]

hi, a question for the experts here : :) On Betfair this happens a lot : * home or away teams, being the outsider, getting massive odds towards the nearing of KO. For example : ->a team gets 3,50-4,00 at the normal bookies, but gets 4,75 to even 5 or 5,50 on Betfair. ->a team gets 2,50-2,60 at the normal bookies, but gets over 3,00 on Betfair. My question is : although it is theoretically certainly a valuebet (you certainly overwin the bookie's bias), is it one in real life too? In other words : if I 'blind-bet' all these massive outsider-odds, would I be in profit in the long term?

Re: Question about : backing the (football-)outsider on Betfair i'd imagine that 'blind-betting' would result in a loss, but if you can spot potential picks that have this extra edge, then you could increase/make a profit. perhaps worth some sort of paper trial mate?
