Re: The Art of Exploiting vs the Bad Habit of Scamming

Another scenario, which would only work in smaller markets/sports though:
You have a flagged and heavily limited account in a bookmaker. Early odds come out, player A vs player B, 1.80 - 2.00. You want to bet on player B, but with higher odds. So with your flagged account you bet on player A multiple times max stake (because of the limit, you can't stake a lot though). Odds move of course, and are maybe 1.60 - 2.40 then. That is when a friend of you with unflagged/unlimited account places max bet on that 2.40.
Into what kind of category would that fall ? Exploit ? Scam ? Market manipulation ?

Bookies are not balancing their books like that.
E.g., You cannot move the odds so easily, especially with a limited account and small bets.
BTW most of the flagged and heavily limited accounts have limits of 1$/€, max 5$/€.
If you want to pick a tendency, you could try NBA/NHL games where odds are usually moving in one direction for hours and green it in an exchange.
