I am only 3 months in, I have 3 test strategies, one which is showing signs of promise 143 matches into testing, one is looking too good to be true but only 22 matches in 3 months, and one other that I am struggling with because I need to be present and the matches seem to be outside of the times I can be present so it might have to go.

At the moment I love goals and am not keen on laying but I guess that's not unusual for a newbie

I also would love to hear what people are up, loving it so far.

@Martin Pretty flat over the weekend Martin, but not as flat as the forum. This is a major part of why I am here, learning from others and seeing what everyone is up to. Sad that this once-buzzing forum seems to have dropped away. Not sure why it has happened this way.

Martin

@Martin how did everyone's weekend go?

Osijek vs Sibenik
FC Volendam vs Maastricht
Wolfsburg vs Kiel

outstanding! 3/3 all over 3.5 too

Martin

@Andy-Donnelly I backed Real much shorter odds and have kept it, think they are hitting form now.

@Mark-Maguire one down and two to go

@Andy-Donnelly next week, I'm only gonna trade on games where they have to win to qualify, where one goal isn't enough. make sense?

Ryan

@Andy-Donnelly I think so, the next bit after the last group games will be a bit weird.

I think I want to see what that does to the market as well.

Now that is a great shout, they are HORRIBLE to play against them.

Andy Donnelly

@Ryan Yeh that probably was the right call. Although did get Ath Madrid at around 50s earlier in the competition and now halved in odds. Will probably be more interesting from a trading perspective once the full knockout draw is understood.

Ryan

For me I looked at the outright in the champions league but I decided to swerve it this year because its a new format with this league set up (Which I actually like & not just because Liverpool have won it).

What I wanted to know and see this year was how was it going to work?

I think its affected teams like Real who basically were able to coast through the group and then start taking it more seriously a bit further into the tournament.

@Martin Yeh their league form isn’t great and probably the reason for the odds sticking to where they are. Still think their betfair odds aren’t reflective of their chances at 80s. B365 have them at 51. That feels more accurate.

Real Madrid at 7.2 looks decent as well. Not sure I’d have Arsenal as more likely to win the thing than Madrid but that’s what the odds are saying right now.

Surely United beat Rangers tonight?

I got united at 1.62. They were very lucky. United are actually awful. That rangers team are dire.

Seems to have got a lot worse after Ten Hag surprisingly!

Martin

@Andy-Donnelly will be interesting for Milan because their league form is so poor that all they really have to play for is CL this year.

Milan are killing me on the outrights markets on champs league. Backed them about 4 game weeks ago as saw their fixture list was relatively easy and thought top 8 was a real possibility. They have since done exactly as I expected and won all those games but the market has still gone against me. Not expecting them to win the thing, but was expecting their odds may drop to around 40ish at some point.

Thankfully Leverkusen and At Madrid trades have performed better

GREGORIOS KARASHIALIS

@Akiva-Anderson same, i lost.... I should of traded out after Leaos goal

GREGORIOS KARASHIALIS

@Akiva-Anderson i did this..... but traded out on the first goal

Martin

Wrexham v Birmingham (the Hollywood derby) should be a good match tonight, Birmingham interest me if they look superior inplay as it has come up on my back the away team strategy.
