I want to confirm that I do sometimes Middle/ Scalp but only if the situation arises, no more than Hedgeing. I dont go out of my way to do any but like any circumstances, things change and I react to how I feel at the Time. To get up in the morning specifically to Scalp is not only time consuming but stressfull. As for middling, you have to bet lots of games to make it pay, not something to be taken lightly. All in all, instead of getting into these type of situations, its best to understand the fundamentals of betting, therefore reaping the best rewards.:drink:

Scalping/middling is certainly less stressful than betting. How stressful is it when you've already made a profit or when you're risking a little to win a lot? Time consuming, yes.

Bet the winning side before the game. Hedge in game to reduce exposure. Feel like a fool but enjoy the drink. :drink::drink::drink:

Fish,
I'm not talking about me, I was taking bets in Baghdad when you were in your Dad's Bag:thumbsup: I'm talking about a way of Gambling that your posting means nothing to me as I realise the situation or someone who hasnt a clue what your talking about is clueless, so why post something that is History.
If anyone posts a back price on here, there's War but to post a scalp long gone is OK:think2: Its Bollocks and if posters are going to persist in this waste of time, I will start posting all my after-time hedges, middles, scalps 18 pages of Betfair dealings each day,all to show what a Sharp bastard I am.:drink:

I know what you're talking about but it's not that hard when you know what you're doing and you pay attention. Maybe one or the other doesn't apply to you.

The "mouse over thing" doesn't work as well with live people unless you have been at the pub for a few hours with winbet.

and now at halftime with west virginia down 4 i did this

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 252pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=336 border=0 x:str><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 126pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 6144" width=168><COL style="WIDTH: 25pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1206" width=33><COL style="WIDTH: 51pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2486" width=68><COL style="WIDTH: 50pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2450" width=67><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD class=xl24 style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; WIDTH: 126pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" width=168 height=17>w.virginia -3 vs. rutgers</TD><TD class=xl24 style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; WIDTH: 25pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" width=33>hedge</TD><TD class=xl25 style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; WIDTH: 51pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" align=right width=68 x:num="55">$55.00</TD><TD class=xl25 style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; WIDTH: 50pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" align=right width=67 x:num="50">$50.00</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

i know this isn't for alot of dough but i feel like am a getting great odds on this as i think that rutgers has about a 40% chance to win the game but a 60% chance to cover...

wow touchdown w virginia...

is this what you guys look for... i mean winning underdogs offer great oppurtunities for this.
