@richard-latimer I'm new to the forum and trading in general and currently working on an over 1.5 strategy.
Just wondering the reasoning behind laying under 1.5 rather than backing over 1.5? Is there more value?None. I just prefer to have set stake rather than set liability as it were. To back like that would mean constantly changing staked amounts to hit the same return on each win.

I won't clog up the football thread with my explanations anymore but one thing I have noticed that I'm looking into is while the H2H for Umraniyespor was 80% the last was in fact 2018. Looking back through data already collected for this to see if it's something easily excluded going forward.
Much as I hate missing a trick, it's better to find out early and have a reason for a poor patch.
This isn't the solution. There has been quite a few already where H2H doesn't start the last year. Just a bad day made worse by my playoff gamble! It has to go down as a gamble and a mistake!

Lay under 1.5:

Looks like being 1/2 today and a small loss but Caracas odds small and I'm not ruling any leagues out at present considering the overall performance.

Lay under 1.5 San Carlos (Costa Rica)
That one ended 3-2 so back in business.
Lay under 1.5 Melbourne City this morning

I may regret it but I seem to be finding there are far more likely reasons for a loss than whether a team has anything to play for. I think my stuff over the last year has been sometimes about challenging the stereotypes.
Higher averages not always better for example. The removal of high percentage h2h makes sense in this respect as does trading a game based on the data rather than anything subjective.

@richard-latimer I was lucky, because I was out for the day, I got on first thing this morning. Great odds on Antigua, and got on at 7 for Always Ready. Cheers for these selections, really appreciate it.
Just didn't find the liquidity on these games.

Still Nublense to go

Nublense win means still heading strong despite today's setback. Taking out the 90% h2h which is break even over 30+ trades is the way to go for now. This actually opens the door for away averages to be lowered slightly. Lose 30 trades for no money and add 5 or 6 back for another 5 or 6 points.
I don't want to start messing with leagues at the moment as so far all leagues doing well and losses coming from across the park rather than a specific direction.

Today saw the inevitable bump in the road.
Not sure what Grasshoppers or Basel were doing but that wasn't a great start. Interestingly enough it's now pretty much break even for 90% h2h with only 80-89% proving pretty amazing so far. Could be a sweet spot. Also think I'll leave Guatemala from here. 2 selections, 1 with liquidity and one without. The one without naturally won at really good odds.
Not sure what happened to Bolivia and Always Ready but that certainly wasn't always ready as again no liquidity and no inplay.
