Profiting from Lay the draw – before the off!
A curious episode in the annals of sports trading this week. No, not another England fail at a major tournament but an opportunity to profit, with a bit of foresight.
With Italy due to play Costa Rica and hold England hopes alive I was browsing the various scenarios in a similar manner to the way I did at the end of the EPL season.
I posted some comments on the forum where I was looking at the prospect of the Italy and Uruguay playing out drab draw to ensure both qualified. I flicked to the market and saw the draw was at very low odds. I didn’t think much more about it to be honest but as the Italy vs Costa Rica match unfolded I realised that in fact the drab draw was no longer on.
Queue a lay the draw opportunity, long before the match ever went inplay! One for the notebook.
