Set & Forget Football Strategies
-
@dave-tancock Do you set your pre-match bets to stay running after kick-off so they get matched?
Mine started performing better when I set it to cancel the bet if it's not matched before kick off
edit: up +4.02 pts for Feb
-
@andy-donnelly thanks mate. Good to know it’s not just me
-
I was also slightly down for last month as well. I think the differences is all down to the time of the day that the selections are placed as the odds will change over the course of the day.
Hopeful it will even itself out in the long run!
-
Just seen the latest results video. I was surprised that over 1.5 goals was up as I was actually down for February by a couple points. I’ve been sticking to the parameters 1.25-1.35, has the filter changed in the last couple months, or is there something else I may have done wrong?

Finally happened, had first profitable month after starting in November. Was only about £10 up using £1 stakes but it’s a start.
Well done mate. I did the same for feb, using £10 stakes on set & forget strategies and £1 stakes on testing strategies of my own I finished £87 up. I learnt a great lesson too....after the first week I was already £80 up, but the second week I lost £60. In the past I would have changed things up at this point, thinking I had got it all wrong.....but I stuck to the plan, recorded everything I traded, and lo and behold....some profit
I stopped putting impromptu trades on too, every trade was from a filter.yes love this!

@dave-tancock same here
think looking at the results for Dec and Jan couldn't have started at a worse time but its all part of the learning process so hopefully onwards and upwards
-
@dave-tancock good work, keep it going

Looking at both the home and away percentages to be 85% plus!
Definitely something in this, just need to do a bunch of testing

For anyone interested, results of my first month of forward testing the U3.5 strategy with thresholds increased to 85 per cent on previous home and away matches having under 3.5 are below:
19 trades
16 wins
SR 84.2%
P/L +9.2 or up £27.59 to £10 stakesOnly a month in but will test for at least a couple more months
That's very interesting are you looking at overall percentage at 85% (so H and A combined) or are you looking individually at home being 85% and away being 85% or above?
Its actually had a good month last month with a very good SR I know its been struggling but there have been some interesting tweaks suggested with taking Saturdays out and now this 85% angle that makes me think this could be a very viable strategy moving forward. Keep up the good work Andy and keep us posted -
@andy-donnelly very stong!

@nick-allan one I would want to test more and maybe tweak settings, I don't advise investing in this strategy personally at this point
oh im paper trading it, been doing for 4 months and agree at the moment not good enough to take live, but i have been recently looking at it 2 ways with laying o3.5 but that in the very early days of testing
when you you think the backtesting software is going to be ready @Martin
