Today I took the decision to dabble on the nights premiership games. I wanted to play in each of the 4 premiership matches, but had no plan as to what markets to choose. In I blindly blundered, no checking stats sites or any stuff like that. The outcome of my selections were as follows;
Burnley v Man Utd - backed £2 on Under 2.5 goals. Had Sky Sports News on, and the opening pace of the game appeared to indicate goals - lost my bottle, and got out after only 5 mins - 2p profit.
Hull v Spurs - again backed £2 on Under 2.5 goals. Got out before the first goal - 15p profit.
Birmingham v Portsmouth - backed £2 on the 0-0 in the Correct score market. Thought this would have few goals. Would have made a great profit if my bottle hadn't gone after about 12 mins. Still made 27p profit though.
Liverpool v Stoke - just for a change £2 back bet on Under 2.5 goals. Damn, a goal after 4 mins, and I was starring at a loss of about £1.30. So, I decided to back again once the market settled. Layed a few ticks lower, and repeated. Final outcome only -1p loss before the goals flew in. Decent escape me thinks.
So, with a couple of minor raids on the horses and dogs - I know what about sticking to one market only - but hey ho, no harm done on this occasion. Anyway, screenshot of the day below 50p profit overall.
Nice work! You could also try laying the draw, then after the first goal goes in exit the trade.
ReplyDeleteAn example of one I did today was laying the draw with £10 at odds of 6.5, after the first goal went in the price shot up to 9.5, so I walked away with just under £5 profit.
Cheers Westie, but got burnt with that one a few years ago when I was new to Betfair. Perhaps it was just my stupid match selection, or crappy luck but didn't do it for me. When a goal did go in, it always seemed to be the outsider, and the draw odds never shifted much.
