Backing 0-0 with a view to trade, new era update!

Made a similiar thread to this a few years ago, thought that I would update it a little.  If you like, it is the opposite strategy to the computer 1 plus goals thread - no disrespect intended, that is a cracking thread, but I feel that in the long run, this is the more likely strategy to be profitable, at least I have found it so over the last few years. 

Basically the idea is to back 0-0 just before the match, at whatever odds, and then lay against 0-0 to lock in profit.  Usually you can do this a few minutes into the match, even if you have a small stake.  For example, if you backed 0-0 at, say, 13 before a match starts, and then the odds drop to 11 a few minutes after the start, then you can lock in a tiny profit.  Even if your stake is small - e.g. let's say a £20 back at odds of 13 - you would still be able to lock in almost twice that amount of green should the odds drop to 11 at some stage early in the game. 

Of course, in all likelihood, there will probably be a goal at some stage after you have done this, but at least it gives you a good greening out percentage from the outset.  Sometimes you might even be able to lock in a tiny profit before the game begins - odds on the 0-0 could drop from a high of, say, 13, to a low of 12 just before the game kicks off, so you have instant green. 

There are so many in-play games on Betfair these days, it would be just lovely to go a whole day greening up on the 0-0's throughout the whole day.  Take it from me, I have done it, it's a nice feeling!     

Of course, as in any betting, things can go wrong, a really early first minute goal could potentially spoil the bet if you did not get the opportunity or time to green up, but such occurrences are very rare.  Games which end 0-0, or which at least reach half-time scoreless, are somewhat less rare than a first minute goal.  In the long run, you should surely make money using this strategy.  And it is a stratey, I believe, that some successful Betfair punters already use on here - (calling Buzzer, in particular!  ) 

You can get some cracking odds on 0-0's.  There was the C-Osake game this morning, for a start, where the odds for a 0-0 pre-match were at least 100, but they dropped down to about 55 just before the first goal went in.  Ample opportunity to make a small profit from a small stake there. 

As I say, I did do a thread like this a few years ago on here, but I never really followed through with my own idea!  I have backed 0-0 at sensational odds, and won, but not on a consistent basis. 

Might start doing that from now on!!! 

Any comments from the new, fresh generation of Betfair punters on this old idea, more than welcome, ladies and gentlemen!
