@Arran-Shackell Same here - getting 502 Gateway error message

Is it my connection or is the stats software down?

Finally getting off the mark for 2024. Lay under 1.5:

Home Wins:
Fulham v Rotherham (FA CUP) - Fulham win at 1.22. Not great odds, but Rotherham are fighting relegation and they concede a lot
Sporting v Estoril. Tight at the top. Expect Sporting to win here. Odds are 1.26

@Mark-Maguire Thanks for your reply.
Your explanation makes perfect sense and completely understand now.
Much appreciated!

@Aaron-Rouse welcome ! Simple answer is that there is no difference other than your attitude towards risk and reward ..
If you back under 3.5 goals (for an example the Palace vs Everton game tonight) the odds are 1.33 so for a £10 stake the return would be £3.30 on a straight bet.
If you lay over 3.5 the odds are 4.1 so a ten pounds stake would make the liability £31.00 (to win £10) or to make the same return £3.30 the risk would £10.23 -
Its really down to personal preference which way you go. Hope this makes sense.

Hi All,
I am new to trading, and was wondering...what is the difference between laying over 3.5 goals and backing under 3.5 goals.
Thanks -
Nice little day to day

@Tony-Hastie I am looking for match action in previous games which suggests an early goal in the game .. it started with filters looking for what I think leads to goals rather than goals themselves and then when I studied the data I saw that first goal times were roughly as follows: first 15 mins 35%. next fifteen mins 23% , next fifteen mins 17% (so 75% FHG) then 9% up to 60 mins .. then it drops to 11% for the last half hour and 5% no goal which led to me work out an early entry point and staking - I sometimes trade FHG on these too if my stats say the % FHG is above 94% on the probabilities I calculate .
-
@Mark-Maguire The Partick game has come up in my FHG filter which got me thinking....Are you basically looking for a FHG in your 1.5 and 2.5 strategies? Then trading out? Or is that over simplifying things a bit?

Seems to be good value on the Sheff Wed v Hull match today going by BTC stats/Betfair goal markets, unless I’m missing something.

That sense of anticipation when you've cut and pasted the 2023 spreadsheets across to a new 2024 spreadsheet (keeping all the formatting and percentage columns etc).
Good luck in 2024 everybody. Glad to be a part of this community. Bring it on!
-
@Mark-Maguire Thats true, will reply to your post when we get the same games.
-
@Matt-Hyam definitely be good to compare notes
-
@Mark-Maguire glad you got the win. Did you want me to let you know if we get any games the same. Currently have average first goal of 15min and 1 goal in the first half. Dunno if this would be any use to you or change your approach.
️ odds didn't come in so no trade luckily
