Well I didn’t do much today because of it being fathers day and there was a family meal out and good few of the games had finished by the time I got home. As I write I have some money on the Madrid vs Gimnastic game. I put some on before half time and greened up just before the first goal was scored. At 80 minutes I was tempted to put on just 4 Euro because the odds were good and rather than being greened up I thought there was not a huge likelyhood of 2 more goals in the last 10 mins. The was one scored and it looks like the game has now finished and I have got the extra profit off the game.

See the video showing how to do the under 2.5 goals thing on Betfair. Wizardcast 26
As a technique it is worth considering. Be cautious and take just a couple of ticks at the start of a game and get greened up so that you profit is locked in for the larger portion of the game.

Then at 75 or 80 mins if it is 0-0 put on a back bet for under 2.5 goals and unlock the portion of the money that is sitting unclaimed on the game going over 2.5 goals. Seems to be working well for me so far.

Using Betty to place the trades

This is today’s work
Real Madrid v Gimnastic : Over/Under 2.5 goals – as explained above
Everton v Arsenal : Over/Under 2.5 goals – bet placed late in the game
Deportivo v Getafe : Over/Under 2.5 goals – bet placed late in the game
Zaragoza v Atl Madrid : Over/Under 2.5 goals

There is another game starting in a minute – Sevilla vs Celta might be worth doing something on it. I have put 20 on at odds of 1.82 and I have placed an order to lay off 5 euro at 1.79 – which just got matched…. So I will place another order for a fiver at 1.75…. OK the order is in and it will get matched in 4 ticks
6 mins into the game and the odds on the lay side are up and down a little – went to 1 tick away then back to 5 ticks and now at 3 ticks to getting filled.
7 mins and that second lay off got filled – I now have a liability of 10 with a possibility to win 8.70 if the game stays under 2.5 goals – odds now at 1.73 I will place an order on the lay side again for a fiver at 1.66 – now 9 minutes into the game and the 3rd lay order just got filled. liability of 5 euro and 5.40 on the under 2.5 goals and I could green up for 1.50
Which is what I have just done – 12 minutes into the game and I get 1.50 whatever happens. Remember I will look at the game now at about 75 /80 mins and see if I can free some of the greened up money.
