Tip-Ex

I just came across this website http://www.tip-ex.com and noticed that they have "live" odds posted from 15-20 offshores. Does anyone know how accurate or up-to-date this info is?

[AussieVamp2]

Very accurate, and within a few minutes, in general.

That is depending how accurate the odds are from the places listed, i.e. if their odds are live and bettable, then these are the same within a few minutes.

Also very good golf hanicapper at site. Scroll down through archives and take a look at past results.

We move our soccer odds on action and the lower vig means we hop around a little more than a lot of shops. They usually pick up our changes and re-post them within half an hour.

This is a great site for anybody who is price conscious re: betting sports and an essential tool for soccer bettors. One caveat: the site does not yet distinguish between pricing where you can bet singles and pricing which is minimum trebles. (Until our next software upgrade, Pinnacle is singles-only for soccer.)

Cheers,

Not so sure how accurate it is and the name of the shops are not as familiar as in Don Best, but I will consider it better since it is for FREE.

Yeah it does, Shawn, you can set those options.

well, have seen the Don Best Island Express screw up/be wrong/not work, more than this, and some of this bookmakers a lot more famous than all the odd ones on IE

I've been using it for about a week or so and it has been very good to me. I even signed up with one of the books on their list since their 3-way odds on hockey are quite good. Have not play with bet-ex yet but in the future I might consider it...

May all your bets be winners

Shawn Didn't realize you were affiliated with tip-ex.You are to be complimented on very fine site.Have conversed with Mr E on occasion and he is a genuine fine fellow also.

I don't think Shawn is, he was just throwing in the fact that they are on there and one book that would be familiar to US punters.


Once you've got a basic understanding of how decimal odds work percentage-wise, then you can soon work out who the good books are, and who are the duds.

[boris]

also, it can be a lot more than 15-20 bookies. Look at the major games - EPL, Serie A, and you will see 50-60 bookies listed.

Mind you, there'd be no more than 15-20 I'd consider betting with.

Thanks for all the feedback. It seems to me that this listing of odds could be useful for games played once per week (American football, soccer) because the lines don't move very fast. But for basketball and baseball, I'm afraid a 10-15 minute latency might make it useless. Any opinions?

[AussieVamp2]

well, I seriously doubt baseball is going to be on there, as not a sport of world interest

and it is not necessarily that slow - one thing however, it is not reliant on sportsbooks updating anything however Don Best wants them to, it reads it directly, so it eliminates that problem, so can be more up to date than the Island Express thing
