@Wayne-Thomas 100% its not fluid, there's hardly any movement at all.
-
Hard to argue with any of this.
We are beyond boring!

@Akiva-Anderson Absolutely. I really get the feeling those players hate playing that way. You can see the resistance to it in their attitude and effort. The sloppiness of the passing last night was ridiculous. They're really not buying into it at all. There don't seem to be any established patterns of play and every time I watch, I'm left wondering how an earth they're going to create a chance. Utter garbage!

England performances reflect their manager’s personality, utterly f*****g boring
-
@Andy-Donnelly Austria have looked very good, unlucky vs France too!
-
Other interesting team of note in the outrights is Switzerland. Think they are overpriced to beat Italy, and then drawn to probably play England next, which wouldn’t be beyond them unless England improve.
70 at the moment but more speculative, so wouldn’t be massive stakes
-
@Martin Like the looks of Austria as a good trading opportunity. Largely because you get two cracks at a possible drop in price.
Odds at 60 now. Think they could easily spring a suprise on the Dutch tonight and if they were to win they would play second place from Belgiums group in the next round so would expect price to at least drop to 40 and probably shorter if they won.
If they lose or draw they are pretty much certain to go through anyway and currently if my reading of the third place permutations is correct, they are probably most likely to play the team that finishes top in Belgium’s group. Belgium aside they probably go into the game as favs, which should reduce price from current position and even if it is Belgium, I think they could give them a scare as well, which could provide an opportunity to lay off at some point
-
@Arran-Shackell you can see momentum shifts so clearly though, for example the Croatia matched turned on their goal. Italy suddenly started looking really dangerous.
Hungary v Scotland it was like someone flipped the on switch once the 10 minutes of injury time started.
-
I’ll be sitting it out for a while I think.
-
@Arran-Shackell Yep, felt like everything i went near at the weekend was wrong... got me questioning everything but looked at my data and that has reassured me its hopefully just a blip...

Anyone else had a terrible few days trading wise (euros excluded)?
Euros aside club football not been great for my strategies but I kind of expect that as so many players are on international duty not just in Europe. Think it will pick up again after Euros and Copa America finish.

Update
Week 5: £146.41 - £161.05 (23rd June 2024)
Made a loss of £6.00 this week. If I had left the Euro matches I would have made a £28.00 profit!
Anyway, the bank should be at £161.05
Actual bank is: £209.60
47 weeks to go

My Saturday was pretty lacklustre. It was like liquidity was massively down for no apparent reason.
This was on horse racing though and I haven't really looked into it yet so could be wrong about the liquidity!

Is it me or does France's route to the final look pretty good? I like Spain and Germany but looks like they will meet at Quarters on other side. Only major obstacle for France I can see is England or not winning the group. Looks like semis at worst and probably final. Had a bit at 5.2 seems a decent price that will likely shorten.
Good job Germany got the equaliser! Didn't need them in same half. Now got Spain, Germany & Portugal all on the other half.
-
@Matt-Wood no way that I'm aware of. They do what they like.
-
Can anyone tell me if there is a 100% certain way to know if Betfair is taking a match inplay. Several times now in the last few weeks I have thought a game was going inplay (had a full listing of grey ticks) then it stays suspended after kick off. 5mins later the grey ticks vanish.
Thanks in advance. -
@Andy-Donnelly my thinking is France likely avoid all of those others until the final, so price will come in
