Re: Ladbrokes price changes

I think Lads are one of the shrewdest bookies when it comes too football odds and one of the stingiest aswell so when they cut the price something stinks
Derek McGovern (ex Racing Post editor) mentioned this years ago in his book "sports betting and how to make it pay" that Ladbrokes had the best football compilers and that if they went lowest about a price you would make money by backing the same selection at the highest price. I tested this myself for a two year period and it simply doesn't hold up. I think someone here tried it briefly last season as well.

My 2p is that if Ladbrokes (or anyone else slightly out of line with a price on a team) takes a few lumpy bets from some known shredies that they cut their prices fairly sharpish.
