I originally included voi...Interesting one Cassini. I originally included void bets in the ROI calculation on my TipsterTable but I changed when I read what you said on your site.<br /><br />My thinking before then was that they should be included because the money was 'invested' without a return. Even if the money was never at risk due to a postponement, another potentially profitable investment may have been missed.<br /><br />In most cases it will make little difference however and as long as the methods used are clear and consistent then I think either is acceptable.<br /><br />BrianBrian Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04113280351867605851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528393111359731672.post-28027175955174379262015-03-02T10:29:28.859+00:002015-03-02T10:29:28.859+00:00There are some interesting variations on this them...There are some interesting variations on this theme.<br />On a tennis match you place a negative arbitrage bet at two different bookies.<br />The underdog is bet at a bookie who only requires 1 ball played.<br />The favourite is bet at a bookie who requires the match to finish 'normally'<br />Your profit will of course come when the favourite retires through the match.<br />This is not a void bet, but it is not a push bet either. How to record this bet?<br /><br />Another bet type I had great success with 10 years ago.<br />A very well known UK bookie dipped their toes into MLB betting.<br />But they treated a baseball match exactly like a soccer match, that is, the odds stood even after a change of pitcher.<br />So place a bet on a big favourite at a bookie who voids the bet in case of a pitcher change and the arbitrage bet on the dog at the UK bookie.<br />This situation is a possible 'half void' bet. How to record this?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11780655549264701856noreply@blogger.com
