@Simon-Bates I usually am as well but looks like I am also allowed a tenner on so I'll take that...

@Shannon-Townsend doing this was what got me stake restricted
-
@Alex-Rule they let me have Β£10 for this, I'm usually limited to Β£2/Β£4
-
@Alex-Rule sometimes Betfair let you get on it today and again tomorrow so could be a very easy Β£20...

SHG in the Hapoel Jerusalem v v Maccabi Haifa. 0-0 at HT

-
@Alex-Rendell Yea I think the backtesting would be able to sort that.

Morning guys. I'm trading FHG in the Western Sydney wanderers v Newcastle Jets kicking off now.
-
@Alex-Rendell I'd narrowed it down to just 0-0 1-0 0-1 also, this gave me a 70% strikerate, once I start recording odds I'll be able to see if either would be profitable.

@Simon-Bates interesting to see where this goes, but those scorelines are by far the most common, so dutching all 4 may not prove profitable at all - although you could look to narrow it down to just 2, or find a way of dutching several and trading out on a goal? Something that the back-testing software could tell you insantly, dont you think @Martin @Ryan @Adam ?!

I have a HT 0-0 strategy, 1 of 4, that is performing so badly so I decided to go through all the results, 756 of them.
I checked the scores of them and recorded 619 winning games for dutching HT Scores 0-0 1-0 0-1 1-1
82.42 strikerateI've decided that this strategy is better for dutching them 4 ht scorelines than what it was originally set up for.
Check out my last 55 results, 47 wins 8 losses, it's been mentioned loads by the BTC team not to throw away a strategy cos it's performing crap cos it might be performing better from a different angle as I've noticed with my ht 0-0 strategy
What I'm guna do next is start to record the odds for them 4 ht scorelines and work out an average so I can see if it profitable or not.
Edit, I've just noticed entry 713, by mistake I've not added that 1-1 scoreline, so that's another win and 1 less loss.
