@Arran-Shackell yes I am indeed - been doing a bit of refining and it's been paying off.
Not a massively lucrative system I find as odds on avg for me are 1.55 so it can tough to build with a 70% strike rate I currently have. But I'm hoping this should increase to 75% or so with a bit of work.
I'm also currently running on a 70th min goal strat to try and target the bigger odds available at the that time of the game at 0-0.
How are you finding it?

Are these the only selections to be able to check live prices on
Yes, those are currently the markets for which we provide live prices.
@Simon-Bates said in *****New Football Thread*****:
can I use the Betfair live prices in any way in any of my strategy filters.
Yes, select the "Betfair" option in the first dropdown:
Re accessing Betfair from abroad, you should just be able to use a UK VPN?

@Akiva-Anderson oh thank god!

@Adam thanks for this, I've found it now.
Using the live Betfair prices it brings up these 6 selections
Are these the only selections to be able to check live prices on because I'm looking for HT under and over prices, also can I use the Betfair live prices in any way in any of my strategy filters.
Sorry for all these questions, I've only used the software for basic operations but now I'm getting into this more I want to learn and use as much of it as possible for my strategies.

@Simon-Bates The "Odds" section of the historical stats is not the current Betfair prices. It's the historical results converted to odds format (e.g. 50% would convert to odds of 2.0).
If you're looking for the live Betfair odds, there's a tab at the top called "Live Betfair Prices" which is updated every 5 mins.
-
@Simon-Bates it's last price matched, so assumedly at that time 10.0 was the last price actually matched.
I'll tag @Adam so he can answer about frequency
-
@Martin, on your software the odds section, how often is this updated against Betfair and/or is it just a rough guidance for odds on there, 2 reasons why im asking, firstly I'm going on holiday soon and won't be able to get on Betfair to keep recording odds data for my strategies but I'll be able to come on here to get them, and secondly when I've checked Betfair just now against your software odds they are quite some way out from each other, so just needed to know if I could rely on the odds given in your software.

@Fraser-cord I'd argue that technically English players are better now. Yes we had flare players, yes we had midfield destroyers and players who could do everything like Gerrard.
But the majority of our players were not technically great. They played alongside technically great players but they weren't generally the best of the best barring a couple of exceptions.
We have far more of those players now. The main man at Madrid, the best passer of a ball in England and potentially Europe, one of the best right wingers in the world who will only get better.
One of the main men in a midfield/attack that recently bought the Champions League and it's 4th title in 4 years.
Declan Rice who has been described as a unicorn by a football analyst I follow on twitter. Can play 6 and 8 equally well.
John Stones who under Pep will constantly play it out from the back beating the press and then move into midfield as and when.
That's over half a team of players who could probably be in the conversation for World Class.
We just need a manager who is forward thinking, not too afraid to lose that he won't try and win. Values posession and asks us to keep it from keeper to striker. Also one who insists his striker presses from the front as all good teams now do.
One who will favour balance of the team over getting all his favourites in from the start.
