Set & Forget Football Strategies
-
im currently working on analysis a large number of strategies that I have paper traded for some time and a lot of these are set and forgets, and I’m happy to share once I’ve done all the analysis.
But guys please lets keep it civil here, we all have one goal and I’m happy to help anyone who struggling. Let’s learn together.@Jonathan-West Has helped me look at the lay away selections in very different way this is going to help me narrow my selections down when I go live with that strategy……………….. That’s what we need to see
Trade safe guys and yes these are not tips but ideas, you need to put in the work
On a separate note who else is loving the americans getting a spanking in the ryder cup!

It's absolutely not you mate to be clear
I am notorious for jumping into things with two feet. The type of bloke to start building an ikea chair without reading the manual
As I said you've built here what I've dreamed of doing.

@Thomas-Francis-Gill it's probably our fault, it's been very difficult to build this community thread where we share strategies that have worked for us without making them seem like 'tips'. People are getting confused about this a lot even though we do try to make it very clear. This will never be a tipping service, just to clarify, we have no interest in that type of thing, we are a training and software company through and through.

@Arran-Shackell sorry mate busy month for me as had three birthdays in this house in past 10 days! updating when I can but as it's done manually and takes so much time I will miss a few days here and there.

I've added a whole new paragraph now as I wasnt being antagonistic at all but was replied to as such by you
The 3 lads you've tagged to get their attention to this have done an amazing job at what they've created
I've waited for people like them to come along for 20 years. So let's not get it twisted
-
@Thomas-Francis-Gill you know what thought did? Interesting that you added some” nice”emojis to your original post..
I’m sure the good guys @Adam @Martin @Ryan must get sick of people expecting to make money with no effort, but are far too polite to say so.
You get what you put in…it has been invaluable to me and many others.
And by the way, I am not using a single BTC preset strategy, but the value of being here and not expecting is priceless.
-
Nicely done. I'm going to leave the S&F for now and go back to the trading for a bit I think until I can work out a smoother filter for it
-
No I just thought the selections were the selections
It's actually way more dissapointing to see comments like yours which are more at home in the hideous betfair forums
I've absolutely no desire to get into a slanting match mate so you crack on
-
@Thomas-Francis-Gill yep sure! You expected free money…. Oh well
-
I think I've grossly misinterpreted this then tbh bud
What are the selections in the filters. I honestly thoughts that's what you were supposed to put down ?
-
@Martin have you stopped updating the spreadsheet for S&F strategies?
-
@Jonathan-West thats fab and some great ideas that i will look at when making selections, thanks for the tips
-
@Nick-Allan agreed! I now fix my liabilty to 1% of bank roll rather than a fixed stake and it's working well on lay away 1.0. I also disregard any fixtures that have teams close together in the league. my final filter is to not select teams with away odds lower than either the draw or home odds. I've only implemented these from 29th of August but it seems to be helping with volatilty a lot. It's £74 up on £15 liability selections so far. fingers crossed this continues.
-
@Martin To get 2k results over a year is it best to start with loose filters first, then start tighten up when you see a pattern emerging? Is that what you've done with the lay away? Did you not do this with the Lay O3.5 strategy? Looks like Lay O3.5 will only have 300 results in the first year.
-
@Arran-Shackell one year maybe, two years is a lot! depends on selections though, how many are you getting per day average?
-
Two years of data I seem to remember you saying on one of your podcasts!
-
@Joseph-Henderson if it's obvious I think a few hundred is fine but 2k is ideal
-
Anyone got a view on how many results to have prior to doing some odds filtering?
-
Seen a few correspondents in regards to Martins layaway 1.0 which I've been currently testing for the last five months. This is paper trading so no stakes, and this will give you an idea of how up and down set and forgets strategies can be, they can be incredibly lucrative but they can also draw down your bank. So, you need to be not only be aware of this but be ready for it as part of your trading strategy.
I would say for anyone who's concerned about their bank give serious consideration to laying at a fixed liability so for example if you put a £10 stake on an away team that's 4.0 if it loses you're going to lose £30 quid, but if you have a fixed liability to £10 pounds you know your max loss going into the trade. Yes you'll make less profit than a flat stake, however if it does lose you lose into a fixed liability of say £10 instead of £30. This won't grow your bank as fast however it does mean that you're in a better position if the strategy has a drawdown. Just something to think about……….
I personally think it's a fantastic strategy I've been doing a lot of analysis on leagues and odds and I seriously think that this could be a strong strategy that I take forward once we get a year's worth of results which is in the next couple of months.
