Set & Forget Football Strategies

@dave-tancock don’t be afraid to move them later on if need be, you usually always get some more ticks

I’ve tried asking for prices on Betfair for the first time. Fingers crossed it pays off

Is it me or is this a really quiet week for the set and forget strategies. Can’t remember a Friday only having one option before? Is it due to the international games on at the minute?
Yes very quiet around the international break , a lot of leagues are suspended during this period. I have a couple of my matches on a BTTS strategy i am paper trading atm and that's it.
I am currently just trading the set and forget systems have done since my post on my blog a couple of weeks ago. I feel so much less stressed doing the set and forgets and just paper trading a few other systems, i wish i had done this ages ago and listened to the advice.
With what i am doing now gives me opportunity to have a life outside work and trading, sat there on a Saturday for hours trading from my filters to end up with little or no reward is such a waste of time and then effects your discipline.
I Will look at my filters tomorrow and see if the set and forgets have any selections and place my trades, then look at the paper trading selections and makes notes and then i am off out first time in ages for a jolly boys football away day (will be feeling the pain Sunday)

International break will have that effect! Also I don't like trading league games during them.

@terry-cooke good to hear that!

That's an impressive SR. Mine is 65% SR at the moment but not profitable, so far -14.19% ROI. Only started it again on the 08/03 and have had 144 selections but so far only have results for 86 as I have to wait for the data to become available on the historical BF data site.
65% SR might be good for something i am playing around with at the moment though having the goal times is still pretty important

Mines gone through a few tweaks so far and the current version is 250 games 83.5% fhg from kick off. Now i need another 100 games with the odds tracked and to see if the strike rate holds up to some tweaking and league removal.

@Martin-Walker I've just watched Martins video on odds limits now that I have some data and I have gone from at a loss and minus ROI to £67 in profit with an ROI of 22% and SR of 74.5%.
Going to track both of them so I'm not cherry picking but seeing how the odds range has an effect.

Are you recording the goal times by any chance?
This could easily be done retrospectively if needed.

@terry-heller no i didnt bother. I had to make it as simple as possible so fhg yes or no. I start very wide when creating filters so end up with hundreds of games to track at first.
Im also going to enter before kick off so it didnt matter to what i was trying to achieve

Is it just me or are there alot of people testing FHG strategies? I am also in the process of testing one. We should maybe start a thread to compare notes. I currently have FT score 0-0 set in my filter to odds under 11 which gives me odds around 1.5/6 for a goal. Which I think is on the higher end.
Mine is based on o0.5 in the first half for home and away, both to qualify have to have scored atleast 4 out of 5 games where there has been a FHG. Ive also added average goal time between 15 and 30 mins

Anyone know a rough average odds for fhg. Working on a set and forget and i havnt traded that market in a few years
Im working on a o0.5 FHG at the min and I get the data from Historical bet fair data and upload it to oddsvisualiser and get the data for my matches. I look have my strategy set up to look at games that have min odds of 1.3, but out of the 81 games I have had so far the average odds at KO are about 1.45 if that helps

I am fairly new here, and am still reading through everything before posting much (was always told I have 2 eyes, 2 ears but only one mouth and to use them in that ratio etc).
However, I know we don't focus on the day to day performance of the strategies, but just wanted to say Tomasz u1.5 is over 9 points up for March at present.
I just think this is something worth celebrating,. These set and forget strategies could be genuinely life changing for a lot of people.
You will see after a while that when it's quiet that means things are going well
I notice I will get a lot of comments on here on a bad day but hardly ever any on a good one!
I always joke that people bemoan losses but don't celebrate the wins but there is a lot of truth to that.
So thanks for this! It's great to hear about the good days.
Fear of jinxing it!
