FA Cup Sunday - trading thread

Unlucky, the 3rd goal was a goal- simple as that.

Might have a look at the West Ham v Bolton game now...

Nice 1 DW, only managed £8.56 after commission on the Portsmouth game...

-£16 if Portsmouth win (they are 2-0 up now)

Stupid occupation

Managed to lock in a guaranteed £37 on the Portsmouth game, green across the board on BF looks nice.

My first real 'trade bet'.

Any chance of some details chaps? Winning or losing, it would be nice to share our strategies so we can all learn from each other.

Nothing much to report from me really but I laid under 4.5 goals prior to kick off @ 1.14 and backed @ 1.27 meaning a fiver either way. Clearly I've traded out WAY too early since in the last few minutes backing under 4.5 went from 1.27 though to 4.2 as there have been 2 goals lol. But I'm not experienced in these matters by any means so any profit was ok to get going with! My actual read was for a fast start with goals and there were chances and two in the 1st half but although Villa were always going to chase and get rocketed from O'Neill, they just seemed to be set up so badly that unless something very dramatic happened, I couldn't see them getting back into it... stop laughing.

In the Reading vs Villa match I just layed the leader (ie Reading) after they went 1-0 up and did that same again at 2-0, they were 1.28 and at Half time I thought something would change 2nd half. And boy did it! Unfortunately after the 1st AVilla goal to come back I had the opportunity to Green up so did and had +£15 on all outcomes. I then logged out (I have a habit of snatching defeat from the Jaws of victory).

It wasnt really trading as such, it was just my usual startegy combined with getting out too early which im a bit cross about but never mind. Reading at HT at 1.28 actually traded at 1.25 was always far too low. I have seen plenty of teams score 2 goals in the 2nd half before, especially Premier League teams vs lower opposition!

I also dabbled on the Draw early on for £5+ on the draw if it came in but that was just trading the spread. Back at the current lay and lay at the current back, Back stakes make £2.25 and lays at £2 (you will get more lays matched % wise as the odds are overall falling and sometimes both wont hit). Keep going each time one is matched put in an opposing bet. You pick up on the spread. Keep going until the odds are down to a point where you want to green up, usually about 3s for me. (An early goal for the favourite or evens matched team Fs it up) Thats the vague idea a lot of it is just seeing whats happening as you go, keep liabilities low and get the bets paired up as best you can I find.
