BetScorum is live again and it's time to put it to use. My current plan is to place 100 SCR bets on all the picks made by my prediction model for the English Premier League and that way offer some liquidity. Off course, I'm not trying to shoot myself in the foot so the odds I'm asking are those offered by the pinnacle at the time of writing.

Any takers?

Since betscorum is a 0% commission betting exchange and laying these bets will put the vig in your pocket, there are still no matched bets. As you may have noticed, the most markets on betscorum are offered at the odds significantly lower than pinnacle. Hell, lower than the market average.

At the moment, people are being too greedy and are praying on the noobs. I expect that situation to change once more sharps get involved and those that were offering the shitty odds start finding out that their bets are not being matched.

The competition between the serious guys will drive the odds up.

For that reason, the Sports Betting Community has created the #match-my-bet channel where you can ask for your bet to be matched (if you offer pinnacle or better odds).

Above, you can see the model's picks and calculations with the corresponding pinnacle odds at the time of running the model. My plan is to continue backing all the model picks at the competitive odds until I find a better way for my posts to increase the activity on betscorum.

How To Get Better Odds

One complaint I've heard yesterday is that people are seeing those low odds and refusing to accept it. The thing is, you don't have to accept it. You can simply click at your selection, then in the new bet window you enter the odds you want. Here's an example:

 

Here, you chose the Nurnberg to win but you don't like it @3.505. You simply change the odds in the NEW BET window (notice the highlighted 3.505), then you enter your stake and place the bet.

Sure, the bet won't be matched at that point and you'll have to wait. But if you're interested in making some profit betting, you don't go around accepting all the odds you get. It's better to have your bet go unmatched than to match it at the odds that will hurt you.

I hope this clarifies the situation a bit. If you have more questions you want me to answer, ask in the comment section.

That would be all for now, thank you for reading and good luck!
