Predict the Winners: Enter the 2025 Football Betting Challenge! :@Richard-Latimer thanks, i have a little over 400 matches so not much to go on but Argentina is 50/50, no that I have looked Romania, South Africa, Austria are poor and Poland is borderline.
Would you ditch them this early and keep a smaller reliable core or wait for more results ie 1,000
Sounds sensible as I haven't culled anything yet?
I'd track them because I track every league if the liquidity is good enough. Certainly wouldn't put any money on them.
Have a look at the odds as well. I'm finding so many leagues function only at certain odds.
MLS has been brilliant but the minute I look under 5.5 it's woeful.

Nothing showing today
If I were you I'd stay away from overs in ARG. The odds are small for a reason.

Just these 2 Under 1.5 Lays to come in the early hours:
For ECU I'm looking for a min price of 3.85 and for MEX it's min 4.0
This isn't just a lay price exactly either. It's more of a look at the market and garner what's potentially achievable price depending on liquidity etc...
Mexico will be difficult as it's a 4am kickoff. Just need to do my best with prices on that one. -

Predict the Winners: Enter the 2025 Football Betting Challenge! :@Andy-Donnelly thanks, so far so good - it can go down v quickly - the odds ranges are huge and a little eye-watering but sticking to 9.0 as an absolute max at the moment
The way to think of it is 2 losses at 5.5 is way more likely than 1 @9 if you do your homework. But the 2 losses @ 5.5 are equally as damaging.
