Football - Laying 'any other' score by halftime

[themaverick]

LAYING 'ANY OTHER' for the half-time score. Has anyone any experience in laying what the score will be by halftime in Football ? What I am interested in is the 'ANY OTHER' option which in simple terms means a team in the match will score 3 goals and over by half time. However this doesn't happen very often at all which is why i'm thinking of some selective laying! 0-0 1-0 0-1 1-1 2-1 1-2 2-2 any other If you lay a bet on 'any other' then so long as neither team scores more than 2 goals by half time you are a winner. Looking on www.flashscores.co.uk - and past weeks this doesn't happen much in the top leagues? The premier league and championship are showing well. And for some strange reason the Japanses league!! Only problem is odd's can be high at anywhere between 20.0 and 40.0. So obviously the risk is pretty big. Bolton vs Villa would be around 32.0. If you look at previous weeks in the premiership, championship you will be suprised how many times a team gets more than 3 goals in the first half. Premier League Stats - 2010/2011 - a win means niether team scored more than 2 goals by half-time and a loss means someone put 3 goals in before half time. Arsenal 16 games - 15 wins 1 loss

vs Blackpool 3-0 HT

Aston Villa 16 Games - 15 wins 1 loss

vs Newcastle 3-0 HT

Birmingham 16 Games - 16 wins

Blackburn 16 Games - 15 wins 1 loss

vs Man Utd - 3-0 HT

Blackpool 15 Games 12 wins 3 loss

vs Wigan - 3-0 HT

vs Arsenal - 3-0 HT

vs Chelsea - 4-0 HT

Bolton 16 Games - 16 wins

Chelsea 16 Games - 15 wins 1 loss

vs Blackpool - 4-0 HT

Everton 16 Games - 16 wins

Fulham 16 Games - 15 wins 1 loss

vs Manchester City - 3-0 HT

Liverpool 16 Games - 15 wins 1 loss

vs West Ham - 3-0HT

Man City 16 Games - 15 wins 1 loss

vs Fulham - 3-0 HT

Man Utd 15 Games - 14 wins 1loss

vs Blackburn - 3-0 HT

Newcastle 16 games - 14 wins 2 loss

vs Sunderland - 3-0 HT

vs Aston Villa - 3-0 HT

Stoke 16 Games - 16 Wins

Sunderland 16 Games - 15 wins 1 loss

vs Newcastle - 3-0 HT

Tottenham 16 Games - 16 wins

West Brom 16 Games - 16 Wins

West Ham 16 Games - 15 wins 1 loss

vs Liverpool - 3-0 HT

Wigan 16 games - 15 wins 1 loss

vs Blackpool - 3-0 HT

Wolves 16 Games - 16 Wins

Total Games = 318

Games by H/T where neither team scored more than 2 goals = 310

Games by H/T where either team scored more than 2 goals = 8

As I have mentioned unless one of the teams is a huge favourite then the odds will be between 32.0 to 40.0.

A Man Utd vs Blackpool you may get 18.0 etc

Based on the figures above and the lay odds – is there money to be had here if you are careful?

Or is it just not worth the risk?

Has anyone looked into this at all or got any interesting thoughts and theories>? Thanks The Mav
