Hi Danny,
You need to create your own strategy in the football software. Follow these steps:

Heads up, it has been the most appalling day for this strategy today so far, although that is the way things go at times, losing 5 out of 6. however there are 11 more games between now breakfast tomorrow, so although I'm currently looking at -13, it might not look so bleak by tomorrow...you never know with this game...plus, you have to think long term with it.
Good luck!

Today is the worst lay away day since I started it 5 losers in 6. Gonna be about scratch for the month after today at best

@james-everard I think Tomasz one I am going to open up all leagues and start testing it, not enough selections to have eliminated games and it will be interesting to see how results compare
Hi Martin , i hadn't noticed the league restrictions i shall amend my end as well then
-
@dave-tancock yes, I would like to remove 2.48 or below but will wait for more data on that not trading those odds myself though
-
@Martin interesting is it the same but except laying below 5.8? Out of curiosity.
-
@dave-tancock in fact here is a new filter with 5.8+ removed as even if results improve on those I don't think it's great to lay a team at 6 in football

-
@dave-tancock yep odds range is 2.48-5.8 for me
-
For the the new lay away strategy I have just noticed a big junk of losing trades are odds below 2.5. If I remove the the strike rate goes up by 5% and the profit goes up by 13-14points. Just wondering if any one else has got similar results?

Had a check of this month's results of the set and forgets . Bearing in mind how i trade is 2% of my bank so i will lay at the liabiality of Ā£7.05 loss if the trade losses.
Tomaz Lay U1.5 goals (odds under 3.5)
Trades 10
won 5
lost 5
s/rate 50%
Loss so far July -Ā£15.67The Lay over 3.5 Goals (odds under 3.50)
Trades 16
won 8
lost 8
s/rate 50%
Loss so far July -Ā£4.07Back over 1.5 goals (odds 1.25-1.35)
Trades 38
Won 26
lost 12
s/rate 68.42
Loss so far July Ā£-31.63So the back over 1.5 system clearly isn't working anymore even where i have tightened it up by looking at the h2h results. I will stop trading and start recording how profitable it would be the trading backing under 1.5 goals
Tomaz lay u1.5 goals isn't really providing many matches and Ā£15.76 down after 10 trades so think i will scrap this also.
Going to stick with the lay over 3.5 goals early days so far and only a small loss -
@Martin HI all just back from work for lunch and catching up on the thread. I have been trading the set and forgets still but don't think they have been profitable this month.
I am going to the gym straight after work but when i get back i shall provide details of this months trades and will probably decide tonight whether they will be worth continuing or not.
If they are not profitable and losing lots maybe time to turn the strategy around and do the opposite trade -
@Martin thanks Martin. I've been with BTC about a month; have only one recorded loss on the o1.5 market. Cheers..

@John-Malloy so everyone has the opportunity to download it and use it, I don't really see the issue of getting rid of strategies that aren't working really well. Remember a lot of people will follow these selections blind even though I advise against that, so it's important that they are performing well. Like I said I dropped it from my own personal trading so that's my main reason for dropping it out of the rotation but that does not hinder anyone else using it.
-
@John-Malloy I used and tracked the O1.5 strategy for 6 months and didnāt get a single profitable month. I did look at all sorts of ways to improve it but couldnāt, so from my experience itās correct to remove it from the BTC āapprovedā list. Will revisit it when backtesting becomes available to see whatās possible.
However if itās been working for you then as Karl says you have the tools to still continue with it.
