Used to.
But too much effort IMO. Better taking the time to carefully select matches and then leave it in till the end/no trading.
The EDGE comes purely from match selection.

Plus there's always that one game where it's 3-0 after 10 mins and invariably stays u5.5. Can be a frustrating market for noobs.

Heyho jacko. There is a thread on-going dedicated to backing/laying U5.5 in the forum. That might give you an idea of how much can be made and if it is a long term achievable trading strategy.

For what its worth, IMO, it can be quite a time consuming strategy. One early goal and you find yourself sitting there waiting for the odds to come back down so you can trade out, but waiting around 20+ mins for odds to be in your favour often means another goal, so your odds are fukced. Its then a waiting game hoping it doesnt go over 5.5. Small profit for such a time consuming, risky trade but like I say, just my opinion.

Apart from U5.5, backing U2.5 is one of the oldest trades and a fools game really, you might win 1-5 trades then lose just one to wipe out all your profit, I think Under 2.5 was a lure to get a lot of people into back/laying and to keep the liquidity nice and high, which it has done as it really is an eejits bet Laugh

Probably given you far more info than you wanted here...lol. 

I find laying is the way to go. Have made decent profit from it with a strategy I use in CS, have yet to lose, BUT I know a loss will come at some point. Just keeping an eye on another lay I have in play as I type this. Good luck with your trades and hope you find a good strategy.
