****This Cash Thread Goes to Eleven****

[BelgoSuisse]

For the UK residents among you who can deposit/cash out on pretty much any site:

there's a dutch book on the result of the US election between intrade on one hand and the UK bookmakers and betting exchanges on the other hand. see oddschecker for the best value among those.

Only applies if you have significant money to bet since there are fixed transaction costs involved.

Yes. Bet Obama on intrade and Romney on betfair and profit. I just bet Obama on intrade and profit more, but that's gambling, not arbing.

Obviously as those are markets, valuations will change and you need to check the prices to make sure it's still a Dutch book, but it has been so for some time now.

 

[duggs]

what is dutch book slang for? just arbitrage opportunity that hasnt been reduced?

I wonder the etymology of the term?

Strangely enough, from a NY mobster:

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutching :

It is thought the strategy behind Dutching was originally conceived and employed by Arthur Flegenheimer (aka Dutch Schultz) alongside various rackets he had running at the racetrack. The system has since taken his name.

Man, the vanq rule is hard to follow when you provide so little material for me to answer to.

Wow that's quite a drop after the 1st debate.

it's electoral college EV, so a small percentage shift can make a few big states switch side and that translates into a major EV shift. Right before the first debate, he was very slightly ahead in places like Florida and he lost those then.

Better than stars in some way as it will discourage SNE type grinders who kill the games.
