How to trade on football markets on a betting exchange

I had Turkey as my choice for the Matched Bet in the game against the Czech team but the Turks pulled off an amazing turn around that left me with a pile of money in the Bookies that should have migrated over to Betafair.  At least the the Swiss game did the job for me so I have some money left in Betfair to work with.

I was just a bit miffed with the way it worked out and I will have to bring the money over to Betfair from the bookie all 330 Euro of it, bit by bit. AS I don’t have as much as I would like in Betfair at the moment for the lay bets.

The upshot of it all is that I will not see much of the 100 Euro that was the bonus by the time I have the money used up in matched bets or have to a point where I can withdraw the cash  from the bookie.

If I had BetAngel up and running I would have perhaps greened up by putting in a back bet towards the end of the game. I expect it could have got matched and I would have been quids in, but that is over and done now – no point in thinking of what might have been.

I had matched bets trades working on both of these games today and the plan all came together. Seeing as Spain is my team in the Championship too seeing as I live here in Spain and England is not in there.

I had a free tenner from Euro Bet and I used WInUnited for the other one. I actually got a free bet of 50 Euro at WinUnited – It was supposed to be 50% which would have been 30 Euro but I think they made a mistake. Didn’t matter to them in the end as I lost the bet there anyway. Which was in fact part of the plan. I had lay bets on at Betfair covering the back bets so, every one should be happy at the end of the day, WInUnited is €60 up from my deposit and I have a good percentage of the free money effectively cashed out via the lay bets at Betfair.

I will have to have a look to see what offers are available for tomorrows games and see if we can keep this thing going.
