Weekend value in midweek winners

[Guest Irish TW]

This may have been posted in some form or another in the past but I am almost certain that every bookmaker has their weekend prices finalised before say Wednesday. So by betting on a team who won in midweek (preferably to beat a team who lost in midweek) you are surely getting better value on some teams (I know not all, as one game doesn't make a good team) than you would have if their midweek game was taken into consideration. Two examples last w/end were SHEFF WED 7/1 away to Leicester: Result 1-1 Leicester drew in midweek while Sheff Wed beat Coventry 5-0. I backed Sheff Wed at 11/5 +1 goal with Ladbrokes. WIMBLEDON 5/2 (a) v Coventry: Result 2-2 The dons had beaten leaders Portsmouth in their midweek game while Coventry got hammered 5-1 by bottom of the table Sheff Wed. I backed Wimbledon here. I know that neither of these teams actually won but neither did they lose, and I'm confident that over time this system can make profits on the basis that the odds dont represent the true value. P.S. Can someone who knows please tell me just how long in advance are the midweek and weekend prices made out?

Re: Weekend value in midweek winners The only way to test your theory is to proof a large number of bets that meet your selection criteria. It would certainly prove interesting and hopefully profitable as well. Are you game? Re the odds. You should find that midweek odds are available from Sunday with a few bookies. Weekend games from Sunday or Monday but if there are midweek games on you find that many bookies will wait until the games are over before pricing for the weekend. Best to monitor Betbrain and get a feel for it. I have even known Hills to delay weekend EPL prices until the midweek European games are played, at least for the teams involved.
