"No first corner" matched at betfair for £15 @ 1000/1
Ouch.

Big ouch, but I'd suspect the layer of that bet will be a professional rather than a Joe Bloggs like you and me. I mean as if you and me have £15k lying around in our Betfair account!

Yes, obviously, but imagine staking £15k to win £15 - fifteen fucking quid!!!!!!! Madness!

Oh yeah, but this is what a lot of the pro's do. High stakes for low profit. Look at the markets on any big event and there are thousands of pounds to match between 1.01 and 1.05.

I realise this, and that is why I'll never be a pro gambler.
A) I will never have £15k I'm prepared to lose on a single bet and
B) If I did it wouldn't be at 1000/1 on!
