@Alastair-Todd quite interesting that 'match me' anyone been using it?
Not me, that's for sure. It always seems to want to give you a lower back price than you can get if you wait.

Does anyone know if Betfair Exchange has changed their backing procedure for some reason? I can change the lay odds up and down as usual but the back odds seem to be set at what they are at the moment. In other words I donโt seem to have the ability to โstageโ my entry into the market as the odds increase and I have to settle for what the odds are at this minute?
I now realise it's all about the 'Match Me' toggle switch...I'll get my coat!

@Akiva-Anderson I'm a slot in till the end of the season type of guy....
Mainly due to the fact if you look at the xG till Konate stood on rakes everywhere 73 mins onwards was avg 0.4!
-
@Akiva-Anderson Pretty sure that's exactly what's going to happen if reports are to be believed!

Salah is well out of order, isn't he? I wouldn't let him travel with the squad to Milan for the game against Inter. I would leave him at home

Slot out! Salah out!

@Martin You gotta stay away from Liverpool at the moment guys.....
Just back the team they are playing to score first. You can get Leeds +0.5 on the Asian Handicap..... at a whopping 2.06....
Meaning if Leeds draw or win you win.
Liverpool win (unlikely) you lose....How mental is that!

@Tony-Hastie well guess who was stupid enough to LTD the Liverpool game last night
I blame @Ryan -

The first recording in my LTD let it run strategy. I could have cashed out for 90% of my stake at 53 minutes, instead Man City decided to try and give me a herina

@Greg-Mitchell if its not within your parameters in terms of what suits your risk/reward approach, then you can completely ignore it. Personally, I don't track anything in the match odds market with anything above 5.0 on the lay side (home, draw and away win) because I know I'm not comfortable laying above those odds, and backing above those odds wouldn't provide a high enough strike rate for me. So I just leave them out!
-
@Greg-Mitchell I don't track them purely because I wouldn't ever take that price, so it's just another admin job for the sake of it. It would effect strike rate of the strategy at all odds but you wouldn't know that unless you tracked it. So your strike rate will be the same on what you are tracking.

Not a great day for O1.5 goals from where I'm sitting (typical on the last day of the month!)
