Re: Bodog DJIA Prop Bet
Ok then shouldnt there be some arbitrage play?
|
Re: Bodog DJIA Prop Bet
FWIW, the Bodog bet is max. $50. So if you're looking to use it as part of an arbitrage, you won't be making much.

Re: Bodog DJIA Prop Bet
Yeah, transaction fees would kill your profit if you tried to arb in your brokerage acct. Just man up and risk the $50.
On a related note, is Bodog still reputable for payouts and such? How are people depositing these days? |
Re: Bodog DJIA Prop Bet
For a while, Bodog payouts were reliable, but took a long time (20-30 days) for the check to reach you. Recently, they've gotten much better. A check I requested not long ago came within 4 days and I was shocked. I'm not sure how US people deposit there now (I haven't had to deposit yet post-legislation), but I believe they offer some kind of payment service similar to NETeller.

I figured out if you buy a dec 22nd call on the DJIA with a strike price of 11200 you would have to pay 2500 (going ask). If you buy a lot of those options and put down the same amount on the bodog under, getting 1.7-1, you would make somewhere between -1% to 31% in 2 months, which is [censored] amazing. I was ready to get 100k on bodog this evening until I read the max bet is 50 bucks [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. |
