The match I was playing on today seemed to encapsulate the ups and downs we go through with this betting lark. I was a layer of Espanyol at Betis. Betis were arguably the better team for the first 30 and was feeling like it was a good lay. Espanyol pressed Betis and this led to a comical 'pass' across goal from a Betis mid, who couldn't have teed it up better for the incoming Espanyol forward if he tried! keeper and defender help thwart first effort, but second attempt goes in. I am calling the guy who fked up all sorts and had to stop watching the match. I check back on livescore later, to find that Betis got a 90th minute equalizer. I have no idea if it was deserved or not, but for me that sums up this game quite well.

Football, due to its relatively limited scoring system, has always been a form of self inflicted torture when used for betting purposes.
Before the introduction of the possibility of in play betting, you simply had to sit and suffer. But even with the availability of in play betting, it is routine that the only event that moves the price is the passage of time, often painfully slowly. Also, the nature of the game has also changed over time such that a one goal lead has become increasingly a less reliable form of protection, with even a two goal lead no longer being the fortress that it once was. Newcastle's' comeback from 2-0 down at home to beat Everton 3-2 on March 10 is just one example of such a turnaround that is increasingly frequent over time. Your example fits in with the old school view of football. Historically, when comparing rugby union to football, it was a valid generalism to state that the better team rarely failed to win lost in rugby, unlike football where results that defied the run of play were commonplace.
