    If I have 10 points on the first half bet (to win 3) then I have to have 40 on the second half bet just to break even.

    In Dragon's Den parlance, "I'm out". Leaving aside whether you're finding any value on these bets the odd approach to betting and staking makes no appeal whatsoever. Obviously it's great when you get a first half goal but when a team draws a blank altogether you're racking up a substantial loss. Each to his own but I can think of better ways to effectively bet on whether a team scores or not.

     I understand and appreciate your views. The only good thing about it is it has a very high strike rate but I agree it is not the best bet.

    I'm curious to know your staking approach for these bets. If you bet to level stakes then, when the team doesn't score until after the break, you're still looking at a loss. In this case, if you staked 10 points on each bet you'd still be 7.5 points down (not a very appealing prospect). Assuming you actually back the bets that you put up how would you stake this one if you end up betting on both the first and second half goal?

    If the team do not score first half then increase your bet on them to score second half.
