Odds on the Total Goals Market

[CaerMyrddin]

Well, this does look like a newby question, so decided to post it here.

I was surfig the markets and was surprised to notice that on these markets the odds range is different. For instance, you can back something at 8.99, where on the others you would do it at 9.00.

Why does this happen? Thank you in advance!

I've noticed this for a while now

This evening I layed Austria v France U19 to have 2 goals for 1.33 on Total Goals Market
If that punter had shot across to the Over/Under 1.5 Market, he would have seen a price of 1.36 waiting for him

Very strange

I suppose there is not enough meat there to arb, as the commissions on the winning bet won't make up the difference, so no incentive to bring them back into line.

Well, it is not a matter of arbing through two different markets, altought I admit that's an opportunity.

Why are these markets structured differently? Why are the ticks different? Any hints?

ive always assumed that its because the market on Total goals is always 0.5 goals up or down on overs/unders depending which markets you are in.

it does throw up opportunities though.

also correct scores and 1x2 does the same thing at times, the other night USA V columbia 0-0 with 88 mins gone, game will end 0-0, or 1-0 , 0-1 for sure, Draw in 1x2 was 1.15 and 1.09 in correct scores for a little while... if anything it should have been the reverse and in reality probably the same odds....
