Trading on the under 2.5 Goals market

OK the numbers are a bit out because this should be Wizardcast 43, it is just that I am working on other podcasts and this one is ready before the others. The next ones will be Wizardcast 43 and 44.

Talking to Mark Baker of BetBotPro and he told me all about the betting bot that you can use on the horses or with the greyhounds. I am using the software myself and I am pretty pleased with it so far. I have been using it with the greyhounds and I am in profit for the day so far. I am actually surprised the number of dog races there are every day. Plenty of room to make some money

BetBotPro is available as a five day trial and it even has a simulation mode that lets you try out a strategy without risking any of your betting bank. I have been running the bot all day and at the moment I am still in profit by about 10 Euro. It has been as high as 14.20 Euro but there were a couple of losses that brought that down again. What I should be doing is running a trailing stop on the winnings and that’s what I will do with a live account.

WUBT interview

I was contacted by John and Lee at Juice Storm  and WUBT radio with a view to being interviewed about my Wizardgold activities.

Of course I was delighted to go on their radio show and talk about my stuff. John otherwise known as Man of Mystery on Betfair asked  me a few questions and basically I chatted about trading the unders and using the Football Cash Generator.

Have a listen anyway and enjoy….

Check this video I have made to show how to use Betdaq Assistant with the Betdaq under 2.5 goals market. I did this with the Southend vs Chelsea game. I don’t really recommend using FA Cup games for trading but it worked out OK anyway. I even timed the greening up really well a couple of minutes before the first goal was scored.

I have been trying out the Betdaq Assistant software from Gruss and I am very pleased with it. It has been created using Adobe Air which makes it cross platform. Seeing as I am a Mac user this is the icing on the cake with a cherry on top for me. You can also use it on Linux and even Windows if you are crazy enough to use Windows.

Manchester United totally wiped out Chelsea and Scolari is not too pleased with that, unsurprisingly. I didn’t expect there to be such a comprehensive thrash type scoreline at 3 – 0 but I have been expecting Man U to be heading upwards in the league because of having two games in hand on the other teams in the top four.

As for my trading at the weekend, I did do some trading on the under 2.5 goals with the Villa game and then I missed the start of the later games. I think I will have to start setting a reminder on my iPhone of when the games are due to start so that I can get in there in a timely fashion. I didn’t even do anything with the lay the loser strategy, as I was looking at the Stoke Liverpool game and there was no score to do anything with. In the Villa game after the first goal I could have done the lay the loser but the lay odds were way too high. I may consider looking at the possibility of doing a dutch of the win and the draw instead it may be more controllable.

OK so now I will go and look at the fixtures list for this week and start making some calendar appointments that will wake me up in time for when the game is due.

I would be pleased to hear from you if you have any ideas for betting strategy on football games. Tell us what is working for you or even what is not working. Is anyone still working on the Football Cash Generator and how are you doing with it?
