Boxing Day Trading?
-
For those of you with time on Boxing Day... would you usually trade? I'm thinking... how many of those players were drinking the day before? Are they likely to play like they usually would? Can the usual research that we'd do be relied upon?

Friend of mine back in the day played in the old division 4 back in late 70's and early 80's and even then they were pretty strict about drinking.......virtually locked in an hotel on a Friday night with no access to alcohol.

I've been having good success with the Turkish Super League recently so not really an issue.
Might be worth looking back over the last few Boxing Days in the English leagues to see how they've fared for goals. I have a dim recollection in the past that they used to be high scoring but that might be just a false memory.

I trade these matches as I would normally do and i think you shut not worry too much about if the players did eat and drink to much the day before, maybe that cut be the case if you trade on the lower leagues
i am not sure but in the top leagues it is a big day for the players and fans so they are all on fire and ready to give us the best of the best what foootball can give us.My worries go more on the covid situation, so it's probably an extra extra extra
good idea to check up on the starting lineup.Happy trading :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

The bigger issue for tomorrow in my opinion is team news due to covid. For example my team Leicester only have 14 fit players for tomorrow. Not that any one would be backing us on current form.

Well, dont know about you, but i will be actively trading the Cricket markets through the night, and also SA v India later.

@mrs-h-m-price Happy Christmas.. my experience of football is that in general managers are really geared up for Boxing Day and insist on proper preparation for players in all divisions from Premier League down to National League. Its important because fans see Boxing Day as a big fixture )often the schedule allows for relatively local fixtures and rivalries - of course some players may ove indulge but its really rare now. The one thing to watch is the team news because the big challenge for managers is managing the load for players with so many fixtures in a short space of time - so they may choose according to how they assess opposition. I know of an example for instance where a manager set up a team for the third game of three over Christmas with the tactical ambition of trying to get ahead first half and then just defend because he knew the players didnt have 90 minutes in their legs.
