Decimal stakes

Thu Jun 19, 2014 9:14 am

I am aware that betting decimal stakes brings an account on the radar of the bookie. Is it the same situation when you put a round stake, lets say 100, the bookie offers only 64.27?  I mean this is a stake offered by him, it is not a stake you have manually entered. Is it safe to place decimal stakes in this scenario?

I understand. Aren't you afraid of the valuable seconds you lose by doing that?

Im goind down to a round number. In your examaple it would be 60 (if the arb is good) or even 50 (if it is a lower % arb).

Always round.
Even when you're betting on sharp book.

Because, a finger accident may happen and you may risk 5490 instead of 54.90!
