Set & Forget Football Strategies
-
@John-Malloy sounds like you are criticising me but doesn't matter you are welcome to do so and if not then that's also fine, may just be the way I'm reading that comment.
I simply don't have time to manually check the results of all of the football strategies, so I use the ones that have worked well for me or I see have great potential. Purely a time constraint, when we have the update in the future we can test all of this automatically. So it would be inpractical for me to spend 20 hours+ a week trying to track the results of every single football strategy.
Hope that explains it clearly to you.

@John-Malloy Are you still following this strategy? Is it the "Martin Over 1.5 Set and Forget" one in the members filters? Going to start tracking the data myself for a few months if so.
-
@Karl-Pick I don't think at any point I actually criticised anyone. And Im not expecting winners every single day. You jumped to two cinclusions there . The actual point I was making is that I was surprised it was being canned as Martin freely admitted he was barely checking the results. I was simply saying I find that quite surprising as he "thinks" its underperformed. Rather than recording the results.
-
@Martin Yeh seems to be the opposite tho, if Iām reading it right itās stating you donāt want home odds lower than 1.7.
Logically it doesnāt make sense to me, as an example there is one game on tonight Start v Asane in the Norwegian 2nd division. Itā qualifies on all points other than Start being 1.65 (at time of writing).
Having said the above I wonāt be making changes to a strategy that is doing well at the moment, but another one to look at when back testing becomes available to see what impact it has had.
-
@Andy-Donnelly can't say why they chose that but I imagine it is to do with not wanting short odds home teams
-
Guys, for the lay away filter can someone remind me the logic of having the odds restriction on home team?
Just trying to work out why itās needed as long as you have the odds restriction on the away because thatās what weāre actually laying.
I donāt want to change anything as itās working nicely but just wanted to confirm for my own sanity really
-
I also find odds play a part in my decision making with whether away team is higher in the league than home team.
If most other form lines are in home teams favour and odds are say 3.0 then Iām still likely to trade the selection even if away team higher in the league. When it starts going to 4.0 and above Iāll definitely leave it.
-
@Martin with the league position I like to see a clear gap between the teamsā¦.ideally 4/5 positions min depending on the size of the league.If the teams are next to each other I tend not to trade as I feel they are both evenly matched and tend too cancel each other out.
-
@Martin I can only really speak about this one Martin as this is only set and forget strategy I look at each match.I suppose itās a more of a ātradingā approach than a true set and forget.
I have used the league position criteria to my ltd trading and although I havenāt got any concrete records it makes me more confident in a trade. -
@Andy-Donnelly Hi Andy I have been doing something similar with the lay away.My filter is set to 2.3 average points and am looking at each match (ie non favourite,min/max odds and league position). Itās been going well so far and am in profit by 14 pts since the middle of July.

@joshua-armstrong what leagues have hit you this month? testing will give you the best answer to be honest, hard for me to say blind if it will work or not.

@joshua-armstrong how has it been working so far?
