@Akiva-Anderson do you have a team you follow in Ireland?
Absolutely! Glentoran are my team. Arguably the 1st British team to win a European trophy. Also the first team to be knocked out of European football by the 'Away Goal Rule'. Famously turned away George Best for being too small.

Getting in there nice and early with this one. Lay Over 1.5:

@Akiva-Anderson morning Akiva,
I am just wondering how you go about your match selection, you have been very active during the summer leagues and I am just wondering how you get to your trades?
Do you have a filter and then review the game or do you just have a look at what's on and have a watch. You seem to have a gift for SHG from what I have seen

Don't be surprised if you don't get many footy selections this midweek, seems like a lot of cup games in South America including their version of Champions League.
Championship starts in 3 days though, woop woop!
Champions League & Conference League qualifiers this week. There is bound to be one or two SHG selections!!
Irish Premier League starts on Friday night too!

How are your SHG's going @Akiva-Anderson?
I've been following the cricket Thread during the Ashes and not paid a lot of attention to the football.
Looking forward to new season... Never thought I'd ever say that.. I always hated sportsHi Donna,
SHG has been fine for the summer leagues. Can't wait to the season starts. I plan to build a big bank until January, then in 2024 I'm hoping to pay off my historical debt!
Finally getting closer to financial freedom. Baruch HaShem! B'ezrat HaShem!
Hope you achieve it, I had to Google the Hebrew.
I tried to learn Hebrew from an app once, it's really hard..
I only remember aleph and tav. -
Have asked for 1.21 for a SHG in the Malmö FF vs Värnamo match. 1-1 at HT

@Craig-vaulks Yep I agree, if they keep hold of him they will do well.
That Jobe signing was decent as well I think. The Championship is a good one because it all seems to be about momentum as well, one team gets on a roll and off you go.
-
@Richard-Latimer I don't disagree with what you are saying.
I don't have any plans to trade that way but will paper trade what the results would be.
Just looking into different staking strategies see how or if they can work. -
@Craig-vaulks said in *****New Football Thread*****:
@Richard-Latimer odds of 2 look like it will be a lot more tricky to find the best way to go about it.
With backing the draw a bad run would be around 10 games in a row. So that would be around the max then leave it at that stake if needed for 1 or 2 more.
As I say it's just an idea, will look into for a few months with my selections and see how it would of played out.
And as you say the losing streaks can be very costly, from what I have seen/researched, it looks like it is more profitable backing the draw with this approach but I would need a lot of results to see it for myself. Before even considering it.It's loss recovery and it's very dangerous. The way I've heard it put to me before is if you're on a losing streak and you've increased the stake just to get back your losses and a tiny bit more......you're individual bet is massive and odds are skinny as hell.
You wouldn't do it on a single bet so it's crazy to do it because you've lost loads before.
Also, in the end your bank runs dry and you can't afford the next bet.

@Ryan I have backed them for top 2 finish at 11s and layed leicester for top 2 only small stakes. If they keep a hold of ross stewart and he stays fit with a few more signings I can see them competing around the top. No doubt I have cursed my team now and they will be in a relegation battle .
Looks like a very open championship to me, middlesbrough could be decent this season carrick did an impressive job. -
