Morning all, I've been trying and trialing different trades on Betfair the last few weeks just seeing how they work and how I can use them for trading.
I've seen the trade 'draw no bet' I know how this type of bet works but what I can't get my head round is the lay side of it.
I'll use this Walsall game as an example

If I back £10 on Walsall, I'll get £56 if they win, I'll get my £10 back if the game is a draw, and if they lose I'll lose my £10.

I just can't get my head around the lay side, if the game isn't a draw, do I get my stake back, cos the trade is draw no bet, I know it's probably simple but it's giving me a mental block at the moment

Going for SHG's in the:

Monaco v Le Havre match

Brighton v Notts Forest match

Heading out for dinner now!

Those Finnish league matches seem to spend a long time being 'suspended'. I might drop the Finnish leagues altogether.

Good to see. Long may it continue

@Martin probably something to do with Utd being awful

[Martin]

@Akiva-Anderson not sure how there was not a goal in that one!

[Akiva Anderson]

SHG in the Crystal Palace v Man United match

[Martin]

@Alex-Rule it can be good to get in just before KO but not always practical

[Alex Rule]

@Martin got ya, I'll try and take a screen shot of the next one and see how it goes.

Do you prefer to get on early or try and get on 15 mins before or so once the market is fully formed?

[Martin]

@Alex-Rule yeah liquidity has a massive effect on price, if the market is very 'gappy' then chances are the offered price is not a good one, ask for a better one instead.

[Alex Rule]

@Martin I'm not too sure, I'd have to have a look for that next time. Is that a factor?

[Simon Bates]

Still waiting for 8 games to kick in before I start my strategy trading so still playing around with different trades and trying different things.

Seen Barcelona 1 nil down and with 10 men, so layed Monaco, got lucky when Barca scored so took my liability out, guna watch the rest of the game now and if Barca score again I'll cashout, got a free bet now so I'll see what happens.

Why are they confusing me by putting champions league on a Thursday ffs???

Everyone knows Turdsday night football is of less quality.

Aye, for shitty teams like Man United

[Martin]

@Alex-Rule could be a liquidity issue, when you backed was there 1 tick gaps in the market?

@Martin said in *****New Football Thread*****:

@Alex-Rule can you let me know the match market etc more details will help

Hi Martin, in this example it was BTTS set and forget.

When placing your trades in the morn is there a way that might indicate whether you are better off waiting for odds to increase? Or see which way the prices are moving so you can take the right action? Cheers
