Bet 107 

Trabzonspor U19 vs Giresunspor U19 

Over 0.5 goals

£28.51 @ 1.02

0-0 FT. 

The odds were 1.01 right up till kick off so was happy when 1.02 was matched thinking it should come in easy but wasn’t to be :\

Decent run but not good enough, £30.00 profit banked.

I will be back for another try.

I replied to this earlier, cant have hit reply button or something strange happened!

Decent run and you pocketed a few pennies along the way.  You have a target to beat next run ?

Good luck next run. ?

I'd stay clear of the 0-0 market!

Well if we accept the suggestion that few, if any, of us on here know enough about these various youth leagues to regularly beat the odds, and that we don't know for sure that the markets are inefficient in some way, then it's inevitable that 0-0s are going to crop up every 30 games or so. Place a large number of bets (as is the case for this thread) and you'll see both extremes; good luck that sees you string a huge number of winning bets together, bad luck that sees a cluster of losers. It would be more amazing if it didn't happen than if it did (e.g. if every 30th bet was a loser in a perfect sequence).

As punters we have a tendency to attribute our good runs to the quality of our selections and our freakishly bad runs to bad luck. There's more luck in our winning runs than we tend to realise and nothing unlikely about the extreme bad losing runs.

Definitely a lot of luck involved whenever anyone  hits a decent run of 100+ winning bets. 

I agree every 30 or so games there would be a few 0-0s but 3 in 4 games? Bad luck that.

What I have started thinking about is if these odds are accurate for the youth games we all have no idea about. Using the last bet for example I backed at 1.03, is it really 1.03 or should it be higher? Who knows but going by recent results odds could and probably should be higher.

As will be obvious from my ramblings on here, I'm no statistician but I suspect there's a number of bets where it tips over to being more likely than not that you'd see that happen, e.g. in ten bets it's bad luck but in 1000 it's inevitable. With my anytime goalscorer betting (prices typically between evens and 5/2) I've seen runs like 1 winner in 20 and 10 consecutive winning bets, with an overall strike rate of around 33%. In my first month of selling I hit 28 consecutive winning bets and got an average of +17 points for every bet. 2 and a half years (and over 3500 bets) later those numbers are still the standout. Place a large enough number of bets and pretty much everything that can happen will happen but it still strikes us as remarkable when it does.

Without any specialist knowledge it's fair to assume that the market knows at least as much as we do so you're probably betting at fair odds at best. One thing I will say, from my early observations of tracking some of the bets in this section, is that I've been surprised by how often I can get better odds than those taken in the original post. I guess, sometimes, that people are more concerned with getting the bet on than securing the best possible price, to the slight detriment of getting the best value.
