    @Alastair-Todd Tough one to take, especially if you've invested a lot of time as well on the day. I always look at how Strats perform over a 100 trades at a time. Then I look at 3% profit minimum ideally. All of my Strats have many bad losing days. Took me a few years to get used to that.

    Sometimes this trading business winds me up - 15 winning trades today and then the last three trades of the day lost, which ended up wiping out all profit for the day. In fact a couple of quid down - what an absolute waste of time ๐Ÿ˜

    Man Utd at 1.72 tonight. Got to be brave to be backing them at that price. Feels like decent lay value there

    @Kevin-March depends on scope setting but it is usually 10 matches each team

    @Martin
    Thanks Martin
    Maybe I am being a bit dim

    number of goals to what
    By putting the first criteria, what would i be saying
    Is it
    I want teams to come up who have scored 20 goals in each of those time brackets over the past week, or month, or year or season - not sure what

    for the Ov HT 0-0% <=

    Does that mean i am looking for teams who have scored under 20 goals before half time over the past week, season etc

    Sorry to be a pain

    @Kevin-March which strategy is it? It would depend on what was selected in the section picturedScreenshot (133).png

    Hello
    Newbie to BTC here and trying to build my own strategy
    I have used a LTD and O2.5 since August, but havent been too successful
    Just looking at some of the criteria on a few of the strategies and just wanting to understand what they mean

    Ov Goals 11-20 + Ov goals 21-30 + Ov goals 31-45 >= 20
    and
    Ov HT 0-0 % <= 20

    What does the 20 refer too?

    @Alex-Rule I have used it 5 times today for FHG - odds at kick off ave 1.31, went for in at 1.51 using Match Me and Keep in lay, all matched and won

    It will match in a short range for these I put 1.51, if the market was moving fast it will match between 1.46 & 1.51 so I make sure the lower number is the very least I would take

    I wondered if they would charge a higher commission but it was the same

    Edit - Forgot to say its back bets only and it does say only on mobile but working on my Chromebook

    might have to give that a go! yeah havn't seen it on site this morning

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

    @Alex-Rule how does it work mate?

    What is MatchMe?
    MatchMe is a new feature which helps you to achieve a full match when you place a bet.

    Why MatchMe?
    Odds can change rapidly, resulting in unwanted unmatched bets.

    Think of MatchMe as a smart betting assistant which finds the best price available for you, within a range that you control.

    Donโ€™t waste time editing your unwanted unmatched bets, use MatchMe to simplify your experience and achieve a full match faster.
