@Alastair-Todd I tipped them as my dark horse to win the Championship at the start of the season

Up the North London Jews!! Thought Spurs were great in the second half. Mason Mount has struggled so far at United. Long may it continue!
-
@Martin I hope you're keeping an eye on the Tractor Boys this season. Come on you blues!

Random question, but i remember someone saying they backed Sweden on here on the outright market to win the Woman's WC, how did that trade go if they’re still lurking here?
Did not trade out in the end as only had a small bet, just thought the price was ridiculous as they were ranked 3 in the World!! Hindsight is a great thing!

Going for a SHG in the Plymouth v Southampton match. 0-0 at HT

Loads of football today. Bloodbath or fortune awaits!!
-
- placed 1% of my bank on them at 29 and 1% at 25
- removed my 2% liability when they played USA
- let it run against Japan
- removed 3.5% profit before Spain, could of cashed out completely before the Spain game for 7% profit.
Thought they played better then Spain so felt a bit unlucky they didn't make it to the final.
Would of cashed out completely if they would of made the final.
Think there was someone else who got on this trade as well

What do people think of the Chinese Super League at the moment, in terms of 'tradeability'? I have it down currently at a 61% strike rate on my filter and so am only paper-trading it but would be interested to know how others are getting on.

@Joseph-Henderson said in *****New Football Thread*****:
Is there any way to retrospectively get inplay price data (E.g. how a goal moved the price)?
Betfair release historical data CSVs with all the prices, but you'd still need to match them up with goal times (although it's pretty obvious when a goal is scored if you look at the Correct Score market as obviously one of the options becomes unavailable when a goal is scored.

@Maximiliano-Garnero It's probably over-complicating things, but I try to drip in in 5 legs at odds that in theory will be reached at 45, 55, 65, 75 and 85 minutes, and that will each offer the same return. So, for example, £10 at 1.25, £5 at 1.5, £3.33 at 1.75 etc. will all return £2.50. I usually add on £1 at 10 to catch the ultra late goal. (Those aren't necessarily the odds or stakes I use, but you get the idea.) You need to work out by observation how the odds are likely to move, or, of course, follow the game with a clock and a calculator. I'm still tweaking it myself. The combined stakes should always add up the the maximum you're prepared to risk on the trade. It's sensible to have a minimum starting position though - say 1.22 or 1.25. If the odds are higher than that at the start, of course, you get a bigger bang for your buck. These 2 games started at 1.21 and 1.35. Straight bets at 1.25 (my minimum) and 1.35 would have returned 0.25 and 0.35 pts, respectively - 0.6pts total. Because both were late goals, my return was very slightly over 1.0 pts (all less commission, of course). On the minus side, two goals with only 1 leg matched would have seen a return of just 0.25 pts. This method appeals to me because you still get something from an early goal while being able to take advantage of higher odds if the goal is later. It's all swings and roundabouts, though. I believe Akiva always just goes straight in, and he doesn't seem to do too badly.

@Akiva-Anderson I use a progressive staking plan, so I do love a late goal! Not so good for the nerves when there's a pair of them, though.
Agree! Looked like it wasn’t going to be my night! Then two goals came along at one.
In fairness, there should be at least 3 or four goals in this Maccabi Tel Aviv match. Thankfully the goal came from the ever reliable Eran Zahavi
