| Abstract: | The article describes the game-theoretic approach to the investigation of arbitrage opportunities based on combinations of exotic wagers. The situation is also known as 'Dutch Book' or a 'lock'. The technique is applied to recent totalizator data from Australian thoroughbred races. It appears that such opportunities come fairly regularly, at least according to published final dividends for various bet types. The method is demonstrated in some detail on a particular example. |
