dont panic scara, on the £1k per bet trade you should be around £200 up now with around a potential £60 loss on boro at 2.9 but hang on - whoever has had a punt on pompey at 3.0ish must be bonkers, ok they will have a sellout 18k crowd going crazy and of course they may win, however, they have lost liam lawrence to cardiff this week, and 2 or 3 of the other better players are rumoured to be on their way this week, I still think peple will have a lok and boro will be back to par - we'll see

good thread and green army please dont my take my flippant comments seriously

crazy but can happen, lord knows why, but as long as you keep on the plus side - still +£130 up then learn and move on

v good point

i would be out long before kick off, the last thing you need is an outage or connection problems with no time to get on the phone to bf

boro scored if its any help

well intersting afternoon - not least because fwiw all 3 won - and did anyone notice that charlton were odds on after 10 mins - I bet whoever was responsible for that was holding his breath

well i hope you pre off traders out there got on under 2.5 yesterday at 2.24 like me i said we'd get 2 approaching kickoff

you would usually expect it to be tight with even teams on display but that certainly hasnt been the case this year!!

smithy that was useful, now if spurs are finding it hard to score get on 0-0 v stevanage at 30/1 - its overpriced

and look down to the barca thread leverkusen 24/1 for wednesday going down but still loads of value

and how do you do this pm stuff - I cant find it on the new format

From the comments at the beginning of the thread of laying and backing United, got them laid at 2.5 but Man U have gone no where near 2.8 to be backed!

Well, I for one would be interested in any new strats. have tried the various sites and "experts" but to no avail.
Using a decent system at the moment but things have gone against me a bit this weekend. have'nt lost much but have'nt won either.
We all know you cannot buy money on Betfair but I could use any decent system that some one would care to share,
Cheers summerteeth, will be following with interest.

Good tip smithy re under 2.5. Didn't get on this one but have been following it with interest and it has come in style. I will keep an eye on unders in future .I Paper tested a couple of games this weekend and the odds have come in as I predicted so I am happy with that. One was the Inter v Catania game . They are getting tipped everywhere to end their awful run and they were at 1.81 last night .Now at 1.71 as everyone seems to be piling on them. Thanks for the inspiration guys .

Any trades for this weekends games ?

Bit of help required. How do you set up a stop loss without getting matched straight away? Got matched ( backed ) on a game for the odds I wanted. Thought i'd put a lay in at higher odds as a safety net in case it drifts out quickly. However I just got layed straight away at the current lower odds which I didn't request . Ta

Easier said than done picking the right matches. I'm sure you've had trades go against you for no logical reason .Got my fingers burnt with the Middlesborough and Southend games this week . Both odds drifted out very fast and if i'd had a stop loss in place my loss would have been minimal as opposed to much more than i was comfortable with . I can't sit staring at a screen till 3 o clock so need to set up a stop loss in case trade goes opposite way of what I think. anyone?

@scara_manga you can only set up a 'back' at higher odds or 'lay' at lower odds, not the other way around like what you did or else betfair just assumes you want to take the current "better" odds. only way to do what you are looking for, I believe, is to get some kind of program that links with betfair although i don't know the names of any.

Wheres todays value trades then
?

agreed last week was v good as was last nite with fleetwood

evertons a funny one, went from 3 to 2.9 now back out to 3 - are spurs wobbling, & short on central defenders today, I would have everton faves here and the market tends to support spurs more at home than away, so I would take 3 everton now

I am always v nervous about laying utd at home but west broms last 3 performances (5-1 away at wolves, 4-0 v sunderland and 1 -0 v chelsea) have been v classy - as good as bilbao ? - so 12/1 looks high for wba

hey paul, great player, my childhood hero at home park, not so good as a manager
