Run a betting shop which always offers odds slightly worse than some on-line bookie you find.
Whenever someone makes a bet -- offset the complete bet against the on-line bookie.
Therefore whether the bet comes in or not, you walk away with a profit. Ensure odds difference more than covers shop
overheads -- job done!

They will certainly lay-off bets .. but this is traditionally at the same odds they took them on at, and is simply to dump risk. |
|
|
As in someone bets £400 on horse 1, they bet £200 on horse 1 to offset some of their risk. |

My idea is different -- is based on always offsetting the whole amount -- but at better odds. |

you get a bun, too, cuz it's my birthday, although i think you've just reinvented betting in general. + |

All betting shops will want to do this.
Therefore, all betting shops will offer
worse-than-average odds, and they will
implode. |
