DP's soccer trading; laying the draw.


Recommended Posts

Re: DP's soccer trading; laying the draw. Trade 12: Manchester City - Aston Villa, 16:00 cet 1X2: 2.50 - 3.30 - 3.30 U/O: 1.71 - 2.4 1 goal: 1.12 Not much in it between the teams, slight preference for an Under. Just a small 1/4 cover bet on this one. Bet Lay "Total goals - 1 goals or more" 25 @ 1.12 Bet Lay "Match odds - Draw" 44 @ 3.30 Opening position Man City +44 Aston Villa +44 Draw -100 -------------------- no goals +25 1 goal or more -3 Trade 13: Middlesbrough - Tottenham, 16:00 cet 1X2: 2.92 - 3.65 - 2.58 U/O: 1.98 - 2.00 1 goal: 1.07 Again not much between the teams and as the Under/Over is about equal i'm going with no cover bet on 0-0. Bet Lay "Match odds - Draw" 37 @ 3.70 Opening position Middlesbrough +37 Tottenham +37 Draw -100 matched bets, might have to take Portsmouth into the first few minutes in-play as odds on the draw have risen quite a bit.

Re: DP's soccer trading; laying the draw. Trade 12: Manchester City - Aston Villa, 40th minute, 0-1 Aston Villa scored in the 24th minute but odds on the draw have hardly moved, now at 3.4 isch, but there seems very little liquidity available. Will try to trade out for a few points profit.

Re: DP's soccer trading; laying the draw. Trade 15: Torino - AC Milan, 18:00 cet 1X2: 5.10 - 2.56 - 2.38 U/O: 1.65 - 2.52 1 goal: 1.14 Away favourite and a clear expectation for an Under, would normally let this go as it looks a bit strange but with a price on the draw of only 2.56 i'm having a go. Going with 1/2 cover bet on 0-0. Bet Lay "Total goals - 1 goals or more" 50 @ 1.14 Bet Lay "Match odds - Draw" 60 @ 2.60 Opening position Torino +60 AC Milan +60 Draw -100 -------------------- no goals +50 1 goal or more -7

Re: DP's soccer trading; laying the draw. Trade 12: Manchester City - Aston Villa, summary, 0 - 2 Was surprised to find the liquidity missing, and after the first goal the odds didn't move significantly. Think i did ok by taking the position i did. Final result 0 - 2 so result +1 Trade 13: Middlesbrough - Tottenham, summary, 2-3 Early goal and traded for equal profit all around. Not a lot of profit mainly due to the goal coming early but i'm not complaining. 4 more goals scored after the first one but the match was in the bag for me, result +6. Trade 14: Portsmouth - Liverpool, summary, 2-1 Got lucky with the second goal, without that it would have gone simular to the Manchester - Villa game. As it is traded out for a nice net profit of +18 All is well so far :tongue2

Re: DP's soccer trading; laying the draw. I've been trying out various variations to the theme today, not a lot of profit but good fun, especialy when having a trade on 7 games at the same time :lol Strangely most matches that fit the strategy of this thread today looked like low liquidity, so would probably have had some trouble gettting matched at good prices. One more i can see for today: Trade 16: Benfica - Sporting Lisbon, 21:00 cet 1X2: 2.58 - 3.45 - 3.00 U/O: 1.69 - 2.40 1 goal: 1.11 Fairly evenly matched with a slight favourite on the home team, low scoring expected but i'm reasonably confident we'll see at least one goal so i'll go with 1/2 cover bet on 0-0. Bet Lay "Total goals - 1 goals or more" 50 @ 1.12 Bet Lay "Match odds - Draw" 41 @ 3.45 Opening position Benfica +41 Lisbon +41 Draw -100 -------------------- no goals +50 1 goal or more -6

Re: DP's soccer trading; laying the draw. Thought I'd take a quick look at how good the market is at predicting Unders and Overs (2.5 goals) - it's rubbish ! :lol Looked at the Prem, the first 349 games of this season, around about Betfair prices. The market predicted 48 would be Overs, and 300 Unders. What actually happened was 162 were Overs and 186 Unders. Market seems very shy of Overs. Good news is if the market does predict Overs, you aren't going to get too many 0-0 draws (none of the 48 so far this season). Thought I'd offer something back as I've enjoyed this thread. Keep it up !

Re: DP's soccer trading; laying the draw. Trade 16: Benfica - Sporting Lisbon, 26th minute, 1-1 Arghhhh, drat, double drat :wall The lay bet on the draw was only half matched and i didn't notice in time, then i got caught by the first goal, and now Benfica equalise, current position: Benfica +0 Lisbon +0 Draw +3 ------------ 1 goal -6

Re: DP's soccer trading; laying the draw. Trade 16: Benfica - Sporting Lisbon, summary, 1-1 :wall writing this one down to "pilot error" , result -6 Bank at 1033 London_Calling, i'm just looking at 1 goal and Under/Over to get a basic idea of the chance of 1 goal, never intended it as a definite selection criteria. At least not yet. Very good to know that if a match is expected Over that's as good as 1 goal guaranteed, thanks :ok

Re: DP's soccer trading; laying the draw. Trade 17: Rangers - Celtic, 77th minute, 2-0 Rangers got another one in the net in the 56th minute, letting things ride for a 3 point profit.

Re: DP's soccer trading; laying the draw. Trade 18: Fulham - Liverpool, 2nd half, 1-0 Fulham have scored but odds on the draw hardly moved, went back to about 3.00 and rising very slowly. I'm looking at: Fulham +5 Liverpool -15 Draw -13 -------------- 1 goal -4.5 with 5 min to go :hope

Re: DP's soccer trading; laying the draw. Trade 17: Rangers - Celtic, summary, 2-0 Went nicely, one team scores, trade on for profit, bit disappointed with only 3 points profit but so be it. Trade 18: Fulham - Liverpool, summary, 1-0 Fulham manage to hang on, was surprised to see the odds didn't move enough for equal profit, again the cover bet appears too expensive. Then again it did look like a 0-0 for quite a long time. Had to take a risk on Liverpool not coming back. Final position was: Fulham +4.5 Liverpool -5 Draw -3.3 -------------- 1 goal -4.5 so just break even, result 0
