Home underdogs

This is a system I have been doing for the last few years (on another betting forum). It's been profitable every season except last season where it tailed off towards the end of the season and ended up in a little bit of a loss. Nothing earth shattering, but it forced me to review it. Looking back over my previous results then if I was using my current selection criteria, it would've produced even more profit in the profitable seasons, and a decent profit last season, so here's hoping. Obviously with it being an underdog system then there can be considerable losing runs, but the wins should be big enough to cope with that. Started again at the start of this season and it's showing a loss of -£16 so far, but I know I can't include any of that on here, so I'll start afresh from this weekend. Also, where it says "DR" next to the odds (like in the Bayern match below) , this means that the odds for the home win were too high, so have backed the draw instead,

This weekends selections are -

 

26.09.TOTTENHAMman city4.5£33.28
26.09.LEICESTERarsenal4.5£33.28
26.09.NEWCASTLEchelsea6.4£51.35
26.09.MAINZbayern6.4DR (14.5)£51.30

Very unlucky, Mainz held out for a large portion of the match , and obviusly Newcastle were 2-0 up with 12 mins to go, but that is the nature of this system, you do get a number of late goals that scupper your positive result. I've learned to live with that lol Stil in a small profit thatks to Spurs :)

hi woz,just a suggestion as i like the looks of this,you mention mainz v bayern  backing the draw, now this is just a thought to edge potentiol loses out a bit more, with the price of mainz @ 14.5 and the draw @ 6.4 if you dutched the 2 results home win and draw you would still get a return of just under 7/2 for £10 outlay but this would also give you the home win in your favour...as i said just a thought and good luck with this

its not the value of the bet i was looking at,its the option of having 2 winning outcomes rather than one with similar odds to what you have been posting on other games i.e the seville v barca game or the spurs or leicester game all between 3/1 and 7/2

It's just coincidence that the first few selections are 4.5 or thereabouts. The system throws up 6.0 up to 10.0 regularly and sometimes over that. I had a cut-off point where anything above 12.5 is backed as a draw (like the bayern match above). However I've just reviewed my results with this over the last 3 seasons and it has lost me -£87 over that time.

Also looking at it, backing the 2 results (home or draw) doesn't look like it would produce any profit either, altho less of a loss probably. This is a rough estimate tho, as I don't have the historical odds for DC on my matches.

Incidentally, just backing the home team would've produced around £100 profit, from the same set of results. However, this would require some serious patience as last season produced ZERO winners from 22 selections. 3 winners from 8 selections from the season before produced £400 from the 3 winners alone so as I say, that would require a lot of discipline.

I'm keeping a record of the matches I wuld normally back the draw on. It's obvious that backing the draw isn't creating profit. For the moment, I'm going to just back the home win, but I'm also keeping a record of the Win to nil for the away team (fav). From 30 selcetions it has produced 17 winners, so if odds are regularly over 2.0 then it should produce profit in the long term, and not £87 of a loss like backing the draw has done. Bayern are exactly 2.00 on betfair to win to nil, for the record.

I was sorely tempted to up my stakes on West Ham, as I really fancied them to win today. Back n the black now!

Sore one this week, but I now there will be weeks like this with this system. Funny thing is if I'd kept with backing the draw for home dogs that are over certain odds then the bayern munich game would have been a winner for me, but cest la vie. Palace, Frankfurt  and Deportivo all going close, but not close enough.

A great week for the system. This is how it has gone the last few seasons. A lot of weeks where you get a little profit, or a little loss, usually bobbing around break even, then you get a weekend like this week which puts the system in great profit. Happy days.

05.12. GLADBACH bayern 10.50 £90.25 3 1
