    It’s on BF for certain games, perhaps just Champions League and the EPL at the moment, markets for 1 or more through to 20 or more. Doesn’t seem to be a huge amount of liquidity yet. Might be worth researching average shots on target to get a better understanding of what the prices should be. I believe 9 is fairly typical.

    Yeah, that's the eternal problem regardless of bet type of price range! The bottom line is whether you find value/beat the odds or not, though at very short prices a run of good or bad luck can make it look like you've cracked it or are cursed.
    Sometimes the staking plan makes it an uphill struggle before you start (maybe this one, my original "juggernaut" staking which was too heavy on the loss recovery aspect). There's a lot to be said for the simple roll over approach, whether with a view to doubling up or a different target. If you're finding fair odds on average you should pretty much break even in the long run.
    I also think, in the goals markets at least, you're more likely to get the best price on the exchanges and will struggle if taking bookies prices. Most of my bets in here do seem to be with the bookies but they're in obscure markets that aren't readily available elsewhere. Big favourites in rugby who are a decent price to lead at any time or in football to get a corner in both halves.
    I think it's best to stick to the exchanges unless a bookie has an eccentric approach to pricing a particular market.
    Good luck whatever you decide. Maybe have a crack at spread betting!

    I'd knock this thread on the head mate and concentrate on something more viable, like a slow and steady double up approach. Unless you find this so enjoyable that you're happy to do it accepting it as inevitably loss making.
    Granted my own fixed odds endeavours hardly mark me out as any sort of guru but I was struck quite strongly by the notion of a double placed with a bookie on games in the Thai FA Cup and involving Galatasaray's U19 side.
    First point, what do you (or any of us) know about these teams that gives us a real chance of beating the odds (unless you are a sailor in the Thai Navy whose loins bore fruit around 18 years ago when docked in Turkey)?
    It's going to be hard to find value prices on these games with a bookie, let alone two at once to combine into a double.
    I just feel these are the sort of games that no-one should really be trying to bet on unless they are bringing some genuine specialised knowledge to bear, especially with a bookie where the margin they are adding will mean you're almost always betting at worse than fair odds. It feels like a "random" way of betting with reference to the question asked by @Skittle on another thread recently.
    I'm sure you could devise a different combination of staking and bet selection that gave you as much enjoyment but a better chance of hitting break even.

    There's likely to be a few punters on the 1.01 and the 1.06 for the straight win.?

    Not a bad run for what looked like a fast and random selection policy. Was it random?

    That was a close one!  Thankfully, in the last 20 minutes or so a lot of the Canadian players seemed to get "injured" and that wasted a bit of time.
