Something I’ve learned today. Downloaded the SofaScore app to run alongside FlashScore. Just had a prematch heads up alert for the hvidovre v amager lineups. Even better it pings on the Apple Watch, bonus!!

Yeah helps to remember start time haha

Afternoon gents,
pretty quiet day for me today will be monitoring the
St Gallan and the Eiber match’s for FHG’s depending on how they look after 20 mins and possible LTD or late Goals also in the same matches.
Here’s to a green Thursday.
Sorry also the Betis match for late goal or LTD.
I’m a bit scattered today must be this English heat.

Really only one game which interests me today for trading and that's the Spanish La liga match between Betis v Espanyol.

Will be trading a 3 goal correct score with this match but will also be monitoring the match for a SH goal.

Posted a video and blog post detailing the pre match research and then inplay research over on my blog yesterday. It was well received by the people who follow. Please take a look if you get the chance. Ill be doing these more often. Its a better way than to just post a watch list of games to potentially trade and shows how i cut down trades from the filters. Its on the road to full time thread.

If you were going to do some research into some gamess today which ones would you look at?

I am looking for games where sides have something to play for.
Sides where we expect one side to be a lot better than the other side so it makes it easier to read the game I guess
Games played at different times of the day so I have time to watch parts of the game and check out the inplay stats to see if it matches my trading hypothesis.

I was thinking of these 2 games:
Eiber V Valencia
Rosenborg V Bodo

Any ideas or suggestions more than welcome to help me select two games.

Well I've already listed mine haha

Not exactly a full day today. Hope for 1 or 2 opportunities maybe.

think a few will have a day off before the big weekend ahead!

@Martin-Futter how come you didn't have Inter or Roma on the email picks yesterday? Both still should be fighting to climb the table.

From a supporters point of view yes from a trading point of view for me anyway I tend to get involved in too many games and don’t know where I am

@richard-latimer gotta get in quick with lay the underdog. So many quick responses from favs.

Definitely. It's a balancing between following everyone and their grandma as they push the price further and further up and laying higher than you probably need just to ensure you don't miss the available price.

Martin

@john-hurst yes it’s been almost instantaneous on so many occasions!

Thanks @Martin-Futter i thought that would be the case

Martin

@dean-adams yes as the ones that are voided become irrelevant to your strike rate

When people are tracking a strategy with a set entry point, how do calculate strike rate with regards to a no trade due to an early goal. Do you void them and only include the win/lose trades that you would have entered. Thanks

@john-folan Not after last nights performance oooooh!
