off to celebrate the 2-0 win over wolves now GTFI

Good day yesterday for me . Got Sheff Wednesday at 1.93 and traded at 1.83 which isn't bad for my first week of pre match trading . Once I get a bit more confidence in my own ability i'll post my thoughts on games pre-match. Out of 8 other games I paper tested this week all odds came in except one and that only went out a couple of ticks . Of the other 7 games they all came in between 4 to 10 ticks , not massive moves but its still moving the right way.

Im afraid I may have hoovered up all the value here ~(Ive had £500 at evens) but if you can get any get enough on at anything north of 1.95 then I reckon Rerading should be around 1.8 at Donnie on wednesday - why - cos Reading have won 8, yes 8 on the trot and donnie have only won 1 of last 9 - think Arsenal at Wigan, with Arsenal on the back of 8 consecutive wins and think 1.8 or less

I have taken a large chunk of 2.64- 2.68 on wba away to wigan next week

The thinking is wigan have won only once at home this season and only 1 of last 10, they were ok today but norwich were out of sorts and wigan are clearly poor, esp at home

for wba losing 2-0 at united today with 10 men means v little - the albion won the previous 3, sunderland, chelsea and putting 5 past wolves at molineaux, arguably a similar task to next week

the bare stats say albion near evens - I reckon 2.3, in any case at 2.6 now I think a reasonable profit v low risk trade

I have been watching the Portsmouth v Bristol City game with interest.

Last night they were trading at 2.38 and this morning they are trading at 2.22
I guess its confirming what has already been mentioned about Portsmouth on here. I will be interested to see what they are trading at come 3pm .

Yes , but im not fully matched on the price I want so i'm keeping quiet for now . I think it will only come in 4 or 5 ticks so its a pretty safe trade i think .

Another one that interests me is MK Dons at Chesterfield .
Best you can get at bookies is evens but currently trading here at 2.12 . That's too high and I would expect it to come in back towards 2.02 2.04 . However nothing always goes to plan with trading .

yes things fairly quiet, I had a good week with bilbao going my way

an interesting spot smithy with the unders going that way towards ko, Ive developed it a bit further with the 0-0 CS - ie if the match odds dont change too much the 0-0 bombs in the hour before ko - watch spurs today & utd tomorrow

today wba are still hugely overpriced at 2.6 - ie forget utd last week and think the 3 previous wins esp 5-1 at wolves, wigan have only 1 home win all season - whether the market will go this way not sure

why did we not keep this going was going well?

did any1 get on? layed overs at 1.91 with £500 this morning after laying unders at 2 last night. a low risk trade. price has gone back a bit now though need germany to get backed in more

i said it was to short

Hard to believe that England are being backed as favorites here, they've a poor record against the big teams in tournaments, let alone in the knockout stages. Last time being Argentina in 02' where they beat what you'd consider to be a favorite. Can't think off the top of my head, that in a game where they were considered underdogs they've prevailed in 90mins?

Think blind patriotism is driving the England price down, with them opening pretty even a pair at 3s. I do believe they'd got a great chance, but Italy have to be considered favorites.

What would your thinking be on the Spain France game tomorrow? I've got a couple of hundred waiting at 1.82 atm; won't be able to watch the match, so looking to tie up a few quid before gets underway. Pinnacle have Spain at 1.78 as I write this, but wom is favoring the lay side.

look at the odds for spain vs portugal. portugal trading at 4.7 whilst 4/1 with bookies. spain at evens and bigger i have 2k on spain already they will be 1.9 or lower at kickoff this is insane price.

excellant arbing chance with stan james price of the draw and portugal bigger on there than here

italy into 2.94 after being matched at 3.1 i got 3.05 but couldn't get matched at 3.1

should a waited a bit longer italy went into 2.86. not to worry spain will come steaming in

time to load up on spain  they can't be odds against at kickoff lets drive it in

started around 1.99

Ger vs Italy tonight

Best Trades on this?

god can the new football season please hurry up my betfair account is becoming dormant. only three trades so far in july and one was on david haye. liverpool are playing a few games in next week or so hopefully will be worth a back to lay

Move into pretrading the horses, you can do what you do for a footy match (at your usual stakes) in about 5 minutes rather than 5 days: lay-to-back on smelly favourites.
