@Richard-Latimer Hey, I am confused, you have a 97% strike rate on the lay under 1.5? Lost 16 trades in over 550 matches? Am I reading your spreadsheet right? This is quite remarkable, to say the least!

This for a tiny profit on the month:

Lay over 2.5

Longterm I may go back to laying over 1.5 on these but 2.5 seems the safe and steady route for now, if not the most aggressive and rewarding.

3 shots on target, 3 goals. Didn't quite make it back to break even. Need a big push for Nov/Dec but still in profit for the year importantly.

Now then ! Just a quick hello to old friends and new .. been "away for a few months" .. sorting stuff out .. missed you lot and now I'm back it looks like someone has rearranged things while I've been away... so will have to navigate my way around that

Spent the last three months finishing my commercial work in football, finalising my strategies trading and continuing work in France to now officially be trading full time albeit alongside the security of income from the French stuff.. so fingers crossed for exciting times ahead.

Good to be back.

Welcome back!!

I have noticed you like your A League. I am never up in time on the weekend.

I love the A-League. The quality isn't great, but it's a good honest game of football.

@Richard-Latimer Do you think the overs are now more profitable because we have this greater amount of extra time since the new rules came in and obviously this hits the unders?

Can't be sure but not really. This weekend threw up some real freak things which basically never happen. Plus if the goals come before injury time you can't say it's relevant.

6 goals in 30 minutes when the game is 0-0. That's mental.

For my unders lays, nothing has changed other than I'm getting more and more data and it's starting to become more robust. Plus limiting my liability by laying under 2.5 means I can stake a little higher and take the high priced games I was leaving on the table.

I did notice a while back the correlation between price and how often 3 goals+ would be scored. I just hadn't done anything about it.

[nick]

@Martin Im thinking of using the LU 3.5 strategy but doing it under 4.5goals.

Final trade. Lay over 2.5 Valerenga

Another clanger. Not the weekend for betting against goals.

Going through my results now defo a goals weekend!

[Richard Latimer]

Within touching distance of recovering the early month shambles now.

6/7 under 1.5 lays
1/1 under 2.5 lays
1/3 over 2.5 lays

Over lays were break even Friday, around 3pts loss yesterday and just under 1pt loss yesterday.
The only winners for Sat and Sunday have come from smaller odds lays.

Regardless, it's around a £13.00 gain today the way I play it.

@james-everard I noticed that but if you 'search' for them on the Betfair Exchange they magically appear.

[Richard Latimer]

It's been a very bad weekend for under 2.5 but a fairly good one for over 1.5 and over 2.5 hence I find myself still nicely in profit. Here's more up to 18:00 when there will be one more potential:

Blues are lay under 1.5 up to 6.8 and lay over 2.5 between 7.0-9.6
Purple are lay over 2.5 for what it's worth!
