I've been running a POC to myself for a few weeks and it seems to be working, so I thought I'd pop it on here as I got some questions in a different thread about it.

"Da Rulez"
1. Find a game I believe to be a genuine unders candidate
2. Place a bet at KO on under 2.5 goals
3. Immediately place a lay bet for 20-25 ticks lower than the back price
4. ????
5. Profit

Bankroll management; My starting bank is £300 and I'm placing 10% at stake as my standard stake.  The 10% will be calculated each Friday based on my BR at that time and will be set for the following week.

In conjunction I will be paper trading the same bets but with the following strategies;

Weighted Profit; wait for the ~20 ticks and then lay off but weight all profit to unders

Let it Ride; just plain old gambling!

Exit Strategy: In the event of an early goal I will asses and either red out for around 25-33% loss of stake or, if it's a wonder goal/I really trust my analysis, I'll sweat it out for a time and look to cash out for no loss.

No specific target in mind, just looking to take a POC public and try to win a few hundred quid.

if you stick to the main live games you should be ok as the liquidity in some games is so low you wont get matched even though the markets are telling you that you should ie you 20 ticks lower should get matched because the game has ben 0-0 for 10 minutes but because there is no liquidity you havent been matched

I've been stung by liquidity before, doing this on some games where I can't get matched, goal goes in, grrr arrr.  I've learnt that lesson but I'm not too concerned until I get to the stage where several hundred is going down at once.

J - K - S leagues are impossible mate - never back them for unders. Sorry only just woke up. 
I suggest you add the following rules
1) Wait until KO'd to be sure it's in-play - then back it AT Ko
2) sometimes if you think it is going to be unders, take 10%.  20% is only for games that i put in my list - you hae to be pretty sure about your stuff to go for 20%.

Another possible suggestion - Currently I have channged my strategy to 20% for 2 goals - then im using martingale for a bet that losses to recoup a loss-

Report ManInHavanna July 12, 2013 9:46 AM BST
Along similar lines to darthginge, I have been looking into the possibility of backing unders and then laying back after 18 ticks, leaving all the green on unders but no liability on overs. The dream scenario is 25 successful bets in a row on a roll up basis starting from a £200 stake. I havn't been taking into account commission but that would get to approx £12.5k.

The pitfalls, obviously a goal before trading out, I know this will happen at some point along the way, just hopefully not till after quite a few winners where it can at least be absorbed a bit. I know getting bets matched if things get to the latter stages will be very hard and would only probably be possible when the main european leagues re start and even then maybe only on televised games.

Just playing around with £2 stakes at the momment and have bet on 16 games this week, have had 11 winners and 5 games where have got out with my 18 ticks on unders but the game has ultimately finished with over 2.5 goals.

Going to have a first go at this next week but in the meantime any thoughts or opinions are welcome.
Report ManInHavanna July 12, 2013 9:53 AM BST
Forgot to add, if the worst happens and the goal comes before " I am out", I will trade out for a level loss on both sides, I am guessing it would take another 4 successful bets to recover this. If a 2nd goal comes before " I am out", I guess I would be "down and out".
