All, I'm going to dip out of the competition for the rest of this round.
I am finding it too time-consuming at the moment to document all the trades in time - a good example was that, although I had five winning trades on the MLS this morning, I didn't have time to put them on this forum as my 'entries' for the day so they don't count (would have been a very handy +£49 for the running total as well)!
However, I feel I can leave with my head held high, having won the first round!

Predict the Winners: Enter the 2025 Football Betting Challenge! :Saturday's Lay Under 1.5 Goals:
Degerfors v GAIS. 4.1
There's a Bolivar match too but the odds are ridiculously low and goal will likely come too early to make it value. (It lost!)
Result 1/1 win = +£9.80
Running total = -£119.90 -

Today Away Lays - China are confirmed, Chile not as yet, so just 2 at the moment
Even on paper these odds make me nervous.........

China Super League 19/07/2025 13:00:00 Henan Jianye Meizhou Hakka 8.40**Chile Liga de Primera 19/07/2025 20:00:00 Colo Colo La Serena 7.6 **
Chile Liga de Primera 19/07/2025 22:30:00 Coquimbo Deportes Iquique 8.00Keeping Colo as down to 7.6 but ditching Coquimbo - don't like the stats
2/2 in China, come on Chile ........
The one I ditched won easily - 3/3 in the end total +£173.70 -
