Quiet day in the office has me looking at SHG opportunities -
Currently nil nil at half time and hard to find any in play stats so that is not ideal, however, 61% of their goals come in the 2nd half, they have 100% over 1.5 goals (70% over 1.5 in 2nd half), BTTS is 70% and no nil nils for well over 10 games...
odds are currently 1.27 for over 0.5 & 2.24 for over 1.5 goals.
the lack of in play stats is what concerns me with these games but the pre match stats stack up... thinking i will enter for over 0.5 goals at 60 mins if still nil nil as that seems to be when they score most of their goals...

decent day, so close to a full house!
-
@Alex-Rendell Cheers. I cashed out at half time for a decent green. Onto the next!
-
@Alex-Rule got my hopes up when the away side scored after 6 minutes, only for it to be disallowed! Good spot though mate
-
@Alex-Rendell Goal for the home team!
-
@Alex-Rule nice one mate; Iām gonna wait and see if the away side take the lead and then get my lay in at that point. Thanks for the heads up
-
Selection Kicking off shortly - Al-Muharraq v East Riffa 17:00
Home team have won 9/10 of their home games
Away team have lost 9/10 of their away games.
Home team have scored in 10/10 of their home games
Away team have conceded in 8/10 of their away gamesShould be a shout of laying the away - matched at 4.2
-
@Shannon-Townsend Here's a few pointers on that, check the time of the first goal, check how many games have goals in.
My thinking here is that there is value in them & goals, then you might be able to highlight which ones have a goal in them again.
For example if a goal is scored in this window... 0-30 then there is a goal 90% of times in the rest of the data. You could then back the next overs or lay the current scoreline.
Works in reverse too, might be if there is ZERO goals in this window then there is a 90% of times in the rest of the data of no more goals - so you can actually back under 1.5 for example there.
Trading wise on them as well there might be something like a split stake plan for the over 1.5 or like you say LTD.
Also any half have more goals than others? Thats also something I like to check.
-
@Ryan indeed, am hoping to find some sort of trading angle from these selections... if they are value at kick off but set and forget very up and down then they are hopefully value to trade out after goal one or enter later etc etc... just tracking without too much thought at the minute as am all over my LTD strat...

@Alex-Rule We're lucky to have you in this room posting insights like these
Cheers @Stephen-Hancox - my set and forget has had a rough April and May but I'm feeling this may be to end of season skewing, not that my strats are crap as I has first thought. Take away might be to stop or dive deeper at this time of year next time around.
I'll keep posting any gem bets that I find for trading inplay as these are building my confidence and give me a chance to get feedback from the group. And if others can make some money off them then all the better

@Richard-Latimer said in *****New Football Thread*****:
@Alex-Rule hope I didn't talk you out of it
I talked myself out of it TBH aha - it looked like it was the last game of the season in the 16 team league. Both were mid table so I'm guessing the assumption was there was nothing to play for so it would be on the beach football.
Well done if anyone backed it!
