Title: Constructing a book based on limited infomation
Post by: Rupert on March 22, 2006, 05:47:25 PM
I've been asked to construct a book for a staff vs punters event for some do.  It's just to add a bit more spice to the game and i'll probably limit the action at £5 per person or thereabouts to avoid ruining the integrity of the game.  I have never made a book before though so i'm not too sure where to start.  The previous two matches results were 9-2 to punters and 5-1.  Both teams are likely to be very similar to the teams that played before.  The pitch is a neutral venue as well.  So how would I go about constructing a 105% book?

Cheers
Rupert

looks like the punters are certainties on past form


id bet         1/5 punters   and 4/1 staff

lay right amounts both you will show small profit

because of the one sided look why not lay a correct score book or even a handicap match bet?

Asian handicap would be a good idea, once again no idea where to set the line.  Correct score would just be a profit making excercise since its so unpredictable -- i'd rather not do this one.  My mate whos playing said that a first goalscorer would be a good one, he reckoned I could get away with sticking everyone at 5/1!! 366% book not including subs!  I'd like to book on the draw as well just in case
