harry_rag Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Following on from the "...experiment" thread, I'll be giving this a try. Criteria as follows. Players whose goal minutes are quoted between 20 and 35 by the spread firms (so fairly likely scorers but not your "super strikers" who will be always long odds on) Only back where my target odds are met (my assessment of true odds +10% edge) Don't back any selections where the best bookies price is >3.2 (probably filters out less than 10% of the potential selections but improves strike rate and ROI based on sample) Most bets will be on BF but there may be examples where the best acceptable price is with a bookie (BF unless stated otherwise) Selections will be posted right up to the off to allow maximum time to get matched (the market usually operates in running as well) Stake 10 points per bet. No bank as such, will keep P/L and review as I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Bologna v Roma: 10 points on Arnautovic at 9/4 Hills As I type I think "breaches the >3.2 rule" but I'm taking it as it's an enhanced odds price rather than the regular OC price. I'm going to base the criteria on what I can see from the odds comparison and if a bookies is doing a special boost it's akin to getting matched higher on BF. (Hills quote just 8/5 on OC.)

harry_rag Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 Well a spectacular start there with all 10 selections losing! Something like a 60/1 shot at the stated odds and an unwelcome bit of deja vu (when I started gathering the original data it was the 16th selection that scored the first goal). The first time the "back" odds were showing a profit was after the 66th selection. 0 from 10 and -86.76 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry_rag Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 Well, a poor start with just one winner from 19 bets! -153.38 points so far. I'd have done better had I been matched on every selection but still loss making as the strike rate has dropped so far since the start of the month. Let's press on a little longer.
