7. Looks too good to be true

If a price within a market looks too good to be true it normally is. It should sound all sorts of alarm bells. It is rare that people get prices that wrong these days. It may happen but it is likely you have missed something.

It maybe you have misunderstood the market or event rules, someone has information that you are not privy to etc. There can be a multitude of reasons. Check everything before getting really stuck in.

The smaller the sport the higher the chance of big mistakes. You will not find huge ricks in Premier League football. With horse racing information about the horses is king.

Haralabob was talking about lines being off in the NBA a few years ago and how he was burnt. Those were fixed games involving Tim Donaghy. Tread carefully. Respect the market.
