This strategy works by taking advantage of discrepancies in odds offered by different bookmakers or exchanges. A bettor places a back bet at higher odds and simultaneously lays that same outcome at lower odds, ensuring that they will win on one side and minimize losses on the other. The key is to find the right timing and odds to create a profitable situation, regardless of the outcome of the event.
Tic-Tac Example
For example, if a bettor places a back bet on Team A to win at odds of 3.0 and then lays Team A at odds of 2.5 before the event starts, they can calculate their potential profit and loss to ensure a favorable outcome regardless of the result.
