I couldn't give a toss if the bookmakers made a massive loss on the event. The way it's reported in the press if bookmakers lose on an event is as if it's not allowed to happen and that it's the bookmakers' noble right win on everything. If you ever see an article, news item or all the rest of it talking about bookmakers' losses, just ignore it completely as it's all PR crap.
One thing's for sure, on the quiet weeks when a few big football favourites lose and bookmakers are taking millions off the punters every week, you won't hear a word from them, but as soon as make one significant loss, they're in on the news with their crocodile tears.
It's all part of the con game that the bookmakers are continually playing on the public to make it seem like it's entirely possible to "beat the bookmaker", which of course soon changes if you become a smart bettor.

Re: Trump vs Clinton
I always was under the impression that books love the outsiders to win, I would have thought they made an absolute killing on this and Brexit. With the insane amount of arbs, nearly all losing on the books and winning on the exchange that must have helped too?

"The US Election statistics reflect almost identically the division of stakes and bets for Brexit. The odds on the day for the two candidates were almost identical to the Remain/Leave odds on EU Ref day. Brexit became favourite for the first time just before 2am on EU Ref night, Trump at just after 2am on polling night."MaxShalamar wrote:It's obvious the smart trader/punter has to go against the media brainwashing and the favouriteBubbles wrote: 2016: Brexit, Trump
