Put an early bet on under 6.5 goals, market has gone against me to 1.05 now, almost the same as under 5.5!!! Doesn't make any sense given it will end 3-1 max. 1.05 is amazing value.

HT 1-1. Haven't been really watching though, got it on mute.
I laid 0-2 to Jamaica in this game (traded out of my unquoted lay at 65 from 25) so I am green on all outcomes.
this really does look like a 0-0 here. CAnt remember any keeper being troubled at all
Also laid Jamaica at 1.8 backing when 3s, antigua at 7 will back 8-9
Jamaica are the second best team
In this game an will love to take a point here
In this game an will love to take a point here
Took a loss on O2.5, but backed 0-0 and still have that in green, have backed 1-0 0-1 each way too
As I said Jamaica were never winning this match, they are a really poor team.
I can see a home win possibly but 0-0 is the way to go, no chance of away win so safe on that.
no value in 0-0 now it's 2.6, especially with game opening up
Jamaica are the worse team an really are fine with a point here, good draw or them, no desire to win game
cant imagine why anyone thought there would be goals here from the off, two pub teams
complete fallacy that, if your playing football you are wanting to win the game.
A point will be a good point for them, going forward they are very very poor an dont have the composure or quality to get a goal, as I said earlier I guarnetee Jamaica don't score
no, far from it, but saying a team are fine with a point cannot be a basis which to use when looking to place a bet - especially something as volatile as 0-0. Not for the want of trying, teams will look to score goals at all times.
Yes, it's a good point in context looking from the outside. But those players on the pitch, who we are investing in, will want to win the game
unless 0-0 starts at 2.62 pre-ko 
my markets have stopped telling me how much green/red i have on each outcome. truly fcked now

you expect goals if there is some decent quality out there not from two pub teams like these two on show. They couldnt finish their dinner
yeah, if it starts at 2.62 questions should be asked. But now 2.62 is only a reflection of the liklehood over time left in the game that the result will be 0-0. Doesn't mean that the teams will not want to score.
Those players will be fine with a point an so will play like it, Jamaica won't have the mind frame to take a chance but have a good chance of conceding.
I have laid Canada now, they have been disappointing every match I have seen.
Betfair Loser you say that but - Two quality teams can easily produce a 0-0 and 2 lesser teams will have a goalfest.

Quality is only in relation, if Brazil were playing these loons then yeah, goals'a'plenty. But still, too poor teams can still produce goals. But that's not too say they should be expected in every game, no more so than you would do in every PL game.
depends on the match and circumstances but right from the off this looked like 0-0. not many chances, not much creativity and the few chances that have come have been wasteful
All I'm saying is laying Jamaica win is best bet an betting on them to not score is the best bet an was from the first minute.
mm, I opted for the safer bets to guarantee me my profits. Had some heavy losses today, Goerges and Russia (could have greened Russia for +60 but got greedy and stuck with 180)
Yes, I would agree, neither have showed a killer instinct infront of goal. But that doesn't mean they haven't been trying. So backing 0-0 on that basis I find always to be dangerous, as even one goal can void your bet, and that goal can come out of nothing, a mistake, 1 chance in a whole game.
This is something I've learnt the hard way, backing 0-0, and something I won't set out to do again. I backed 0-0 at the start here to hedge any losses incurred in O2.5. I accepted a loss after seeing the poor quality, and have let it run.
The bet was Antigua to win to nil and back the 0-0 as cover, anything that involved Jamaica not scoring, I think it was obvious they weren't winning this.

Nice profit on Costa Rica then from the ghost goal. Could have been much better, if I'd wait two seconds more before trading out.
They aren't winning an defo not making the world cup, clear as day that was.
It's clear they aren't too fussed about the win an scoring just by the way they play around the goal, no urgency and no really desire to grab a goal, obvious they don't want it :D
Not sure, in the grand scheme of things not a lot. Think they get knocked out of WC qualifying, something that they weren't realistically going to anyway.
they cant get knocked out this early! this is the second game
Vala - your too used to watching much higher standards of football. They are trying, but don't have the quality your used to seeing, to make that decisive break through.
What I hate is not losing a bet...losing a bet since a team is too lazy to try and score.
Like I say, not sure, thought I heard commentator mention something along those lines, I expect I'm wrong.
I'm very used to watching this standard, skill level may be down but desire is more visible an they haven't got players forward or had any urgent to get a goal, a point is fine an that's what they've played for.
Hate it when I can only see half a conversation, but I'm sticking with blocking this user this time.
They are trying, but mitigating circumstances in ability are not allowing them to show the same desire you see in say the PL. If you've ever played football, no matter how low of a level, you wanna win!
Just a bit frustrating when it appears the opposite, especially when sat with a losing bet, I understand that!
I have played football and at a very good level, we were told to play for draws an that made it very easy to accept not scoring as long as you don't concede it's fine.
Ever since I've started betting and trading on football properly, I do find it as a spectacle on the whole very boring.
Like this evening, after I traded out of the Poland game, and just watched, it wasn't that entertaining.

Watch Olimpia game then, two great teams but Olimpia are making some good runs - 1 on 1 with defenders.

Agreed, depending on the circumstances of this game, and what a draw/win/loss would entail for Jamaica would affect how they've been tactically set out like you say.
watching the first 20 mins you just knew it would be 0-0
I did think that exactly, and swiftly cut my over 2.5 short.
These players are better with bananas rather than a ball.
Incredible. A free kick from half pitch and he goes for it. What an idiot.
We've all been there, running up, visions of the top corner

Just running
Think it's fair to say that they make up in running fast, where they may lack in playing football though
