themaverick Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KThom Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Re: Football - Laying 'any other' score by halftime Looking at your stats quickly – I’m assuming on the Premiership the split was 16 losses and 302 wins (totalling 318)? * This gives a total (combining the championship) of 36 “Losses†from 788 games. A rate of 4.5% (or “true odds†of 21.89). * At a glance it seems value would be to back – rather than lay – but this of course does not take into account dynamics of the game – nor the teams involved or individual prices on offer. * In a nutshell I’d say the answer to your original question (“is it worth the risk†would be a resounding no. * Would you be happy to have £300 on the line to win a tenner on every game? Even the games in which you “win†you may see 2 early goals and a very nervy remaining 30 minutes of the half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaverick Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Re: Football - Laying 'any other' score by halftime Hi KThom thanks for your reply - I actually did the stats wrong as I counted the losses twice and so the figures have dropped from 16 to 8 in the premier league and 20 to 10 in the Championship. 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 Championship 2010/2011 Total Games = 470 Games by H/T where neither team scored more than 2 goals = 460 Games by H/T where either team scored more than 2 goals = 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KThom Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Re: Football - Laying 'any other' score by halftime I have the stats for the past 6 seasons and using your criteria it still doesn’t add up. * Firstly I’ll start using the example you give for the Premiership THIS season. * If you have 310 games, at avg price of 32, and laying £25 a time – that equates too £248,000. You win on 302 of those games, giving a return of £7,172.50 (Including 5% commission) You lose on 8 of those games, giving a loss of £6,200 * This gives an overall profit of £972.50 – but it only equates to around 0.40% yield as you are “risking†£800 per game. * I’ve used the same theory (Avg odds 32, and equal lays of £25) for the past 6 seasons on Prem and Champ games. It shows a loss of nearly £38k. * There is no definitive way to back test this system as the lay odds of ANY UNQ are not available – but it doesn’t look to have any scope to me.

Grex Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Re: Football - Laying 'any other' score by halftime This gives an overall profit of £972.50 – but it only equates to around 0.40% yield as you are “risking” £800 per game. Excellent advice, KThom..... it is the "yield" which is the measure of a system's success, not the "profit". I should be very careful, Maverick, before investing any cash on this system :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaverick Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Re: Football - Laying 'any other' score by halftime :wall Looks like I should take the advice of you guys ... man i feel like im such a novice with all this - i could do with a dummies guide to betting! ..its not that i thought i had found the holy grail but i feel as though i could make a steady £25 a week on this if i was smart with my 1 match a week choice but i guess as we all know anything can happen in football! i really wanna focus my energies into a betting system and this was the only one i found that I felt I could turn into steady gains but even i'm aware one loss would see me almost wiped out! :gimme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enter PL with Internet Explorer (not Firefox - or you lose the formatting)..... select the table in Excel..... copy.... and paste into your PL message text. You will probably find that it doesn't look exactly the same as in Excel.... but you can play around with it to get the right presentation :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumyat Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Re: Football - Laying 'any other' score by halftime I make it about a 4.7% chance you get a HT unquoted in EP over the last 20 years. Lets say you remove all the star teams - in fact let's just remove every match with an odds on fav. It follows that a big fav could rack them up early so remove all of these. This reduces the chance of an unquoted to about 3.5%. However even with that more productive range of matches it's still a negative expectation bet. Just to break even you cannot offer bigger than 27. So unless there is a more incisive picking strategy it wont work long term at a price of 32 (on EP games). In fact if that 3.5% holds up on the supposedly unpromising matches (ie unlikely to go unquoted) then grabbing offers of 40 is a nice 33% edge even after BF tax. (assuming you have the patience to stick with a bet where you have a 96.5% chance of losing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Re: Football - Laying 'any other' score by halftime Liability is too high. Even when you go 40-0, you can lose a huge amount of your profits in case of a lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themaverick Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Re: Football - Laying 'any other' score by halftime Thanks for the advice... No CL game last night went over 2 goals for any team by halftime .... Point taken about the 40 in a row it is depressing when looked at like that but very true.

NO CODE Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Re: Football - Laying 'any other' score by halftime No Code - what did you walk away with? Hi Maverick. 400 notes. for 1100 staked. Some would say a little crazy, but i liked the history of this fixture and felt that both sides were capable of scoring. Saying that I staked 6% of my bank , which is usually a real no no. Am on Bordeaux-Rennes tomorrow over 1.5g again. Best of luck with your system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaverick Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Re: Football - Laying 'any other' score by halftime Thanks no code ... need to really rack up 50+ wins to see any light on this one. Looks like i have 6 wins so far - will post table up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
