How to trade on football markets on a betting exchange

Browsing Posts tagged Birminham City

I am only home for a short while for lunch and after eating the game at Stamford Bridge was already under way. I would have had a larger back bet on the unders at the start but the odds were not great to start with and then when I looked again the match had 25 minutes played. I just went in with a small back bet and I traded out quickly. The price was moving well enough but the best times to trade are at the beginning of a game or just after a goal as thats when there is most movement in the right direction. Although if the odds are above 1.90 at the beginning all the better.

I didn’t even get a half a percent profit due to the low stake but I am not too bothered, it’s a nice sunny day here in Spain and I was sitting on the terrace relaxing, seemed a shame to run inside to the computer. Even when I could be making some money.

The Birmingham City game vs Liverpool looked better for the starting price on the under 2.5 goals market, but I will be back at work when that game starts.

I still have my bet running on Rangers, I have not traded out yet. I could have had a small profit at the end of the match on Thursday but not enogh to tempt me away from the forty five I have guaranteed on the game if I wait.

The plan of action will be to trade the under 2.5 goals market and also to set up a dutch on the correct score. Newcastle will be looking to get a win under the hand of Kevin Keegan. Not turning out the hero he was expected to be for the Toon Army. Newcastle have lost the last 4 away games and have not won for some time, 12 games to be exact. The scoreline forecast on Soccerstats.com is for over 2.5 goals.

Birmingham need a win  due to being a bit close to the relegation zone but Newcastle are only 2 places above I expect it will be a hard fought game.

Here is the screenshot of the correct score dutch first.
