@stuart-capstick Sounds an interesting way of keep losses to a minimum. Keep us updated how that works out long term mate

I've just used LTD with these leagues at the start of their respective seasons. Looked at in-play stats and previous seasons or pre-season.
Also looked at using other markets. For example, a market I normally ignored is the HT/FT market. If you back that as Draw/Draw it can act as cover for a lay of FH U0.5 . If the dog scores you can leave that back in the hope the favourite pulls one back or cash out that back as the market anticipates the favourite scoring and the lay price comes in.
Purely using them as training for when the big leagues return. -
Anyone got any football trading suggestions for todays matches? Infact looking we only have one Tajikstan match just kicking off. I would imagine there is no angle to work off as little stats for this league as only just started?
Be interesting when the major leagues start to come back if other football members will be back with more input, I havn't seen any posts from Dari for instance for a while -
@stuart-capstick Sounds like a trip that will sit in your memory for a lifetime exactly what life is about

James, I wish I could give you a better reason than simply "I'd never been" or "For the craic", but those are pretty close to the truth.
Took about three days to get there by train from ST Petersburg. The journey itself was an interesting experience; lots of memorable characters on the train.

@stuart-capstick Turkmenistan is run by a dictator similar to North Korea no outside influences apart from their Russian buddies. They have banned the word Corona virus hence the league started last week without any fuss.
What made you go to Kazakhstan would love to go to some of these far flung obscure countries -
@stuart-capstick Yes me either cannot find anything, even on the Taiwanese football.
I really think the traders that have done what a lot of traders have done here, learn & spend the time wisely they'll come back much better traders.

@ryan-carruthers
As well as that, learning to use markets that I wouldn't normally combine in other leagues: HT/FT combined with LCS or Unders combined with CS.
Nothing today, however.

@stuart-capstick Amazing!
I agree on the Belarus football difficult league to trade have to really keep an eye on it and monitor - it's been valuable for a lot people especially for match reading.
-
I see we now have the exotic and lovely Turkmenistan league to add to our trading portfolio.
Once I went to Kazakhstan. A guy there asked me what I thought of the place. I answered that it had a certain beauty (it does, massive wide open spaces that you don't get in Europe, wild mountains in the NE) but that I wouldn't want to live there.
His answer was that Kazakhstan is a shithole, but at least it isn't Turkmenistan. -
Green on each game apart from BATE
1.6 points up.
Thanks again to Alan for his example of indomitable attitude.I'm considering any time on Belarus as educational. As Alan noted, this is a difficult league to trade. Normal indicators probably aren't reliable (not sure if Bet365's shots on targets guy, Ivan, really watches the games).If we can profit here or keep losses to a minimum, which is the key to trading, then it's been valuable.
-
Absolutely terrible this half, getting out and taking a red.
-
Another disallowed at Bate
-
Definitely a goal coming!!
-
@alan-steward Shocking!
-
BATE missed pen... Hope it's not going to be one of those games lol
-
Looks like there could be another goal here... Tempted to lay 1-0 at 1.98 or less with 1st goal profits???
Nah, bank my green and move on
-
@martin-futter what's your thoughts on backing over 1.5 goals over evens and then looking to LTD @ evens?
I know 2 different commissions with 2 different markets but am thinking it leaves options with difficult games to trade???
-
Good lord. 2 Belarus games traded and green from both. I think I am a little unnerved by this. Good old split stake reigns again.
