- Here is a short video clip that might be of help to your TA - i just walk thru how i extract bets (outright winner, group E winner (group E includes USA) ) from NZ TAB, William Hill UK and Centrebet Oz (sorry steffan my danish wouldnt allow me to do the DK site)
- Here is a betting interpretation clip - explains field odds, field prices, competitive or "no track take" prices and odds; i also explain an arbitrage operation using the field prices (doesn't get us too far in terms of making a sure gain...but hey we try); this clip works with a 4 outcome bet; the next one here works with the full outright winner bets (so over the phone glenn i shouldn't have take 1/3.75 as the odds for brazil to win outright...)
