ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i can nearly see his point, the draw at half time is rarely below evens, can only think of a few extreme cases, but only about 1 in 6 0-0 at half time end in 0-0, so u could lay then back the draw, but i gotta say dino, looks like ur over complicating the issue, if u lay something, and u get something in ur favour, a goal say, just green up by backing it, or put a bit more on it to speculate. this stuff is beter than the big dog!!! conesuers of betfair will remember him!!!!
gl with urbets tho! :)

This is funny. Dinosaur, you seem to completely misunderstand the whole concept of trading. You CANNOT profit doing what you are doing. You will not listen to the people telling you this so it seems the only way you will realise this is when you go broke. FACT. I'm not trying to put you down, i am trying to help. However please DO NOT reply with the implication that i am not grasping something about this system. Believe me i understand it. And it wont work.

You also seem to think that the other people ridiculing your "system" do not understand it too. Please credit these posters with more brains. It is the simple fact that they DO fully understand this system that they are ridiculing it and you would do well to listen to them.

Obviously laying an outcome and then backing it when the odds get higher is a profitable trade, you understand that. However what will inevitably happen is that you will lay an outcome at low odds, and the the odds will never get higher, and you will lose.

Also please answer the question regarding backing 0-0 when there has already been a goal. There is absolutely NOTHING, no method, system or otherwise, that will or can in any way shape or form whatsoever, make doing this even slightly more profitable, even to the tune of a penny, than not doing it. Please do not try to defend your doing of this. If you think otherwise then you are completely misunderstanding trading AND gambling, and really need your head examining. However, if you disagree then say so, and hopefully someone will explain to you properly.

Thank you for your time, only trying to save you money.

Dinosaur, the only reason to back an event that can't happen is to free up funds for further trading. If the event is only moments from closing then it is completly & utterly pointless. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?

there's a fundamental bit of maths dinosaur is failing to grasp:

I have a system.
Everyone thinks it's stupid.
I am bumping up against my loss limit.

...it surely can't be that hard.

NB Please don't reply with your thanks as I won't be returning to the thread.

This thread is worse than the MSE one. At least they understood the principles of trading and just got caught out with the rules. Had it been a normal market they would have been correct. This guy doesn't understand the principles - full stop.

Perhaps he has been banned 'cos he hasn't been heard from today but I see someone's had a score on 0-0 in the Bham game @ 1000 so perhaps he's still cracking on !!

I think he has got confused between laying the draw and then backing after a goal (which can be sensible) and backing 0-0 after a goal (which is never sensible)

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your replies. DoobieDan says devide your profit by the Lay odds? That right? You all agree on that?

As I'm still learning, I'm only betting minimum. Still walking before I run! :o)

On a football match this afternoon, I Backed the Home team then Layed it later. This produced a profit of 50p.

When I 'greened up' it spread the win across the 3 selections @ 35p each. See what I mean? Big mystery!

This means the Lay odds would have to have been 1.39. That right?

Dino :o)

in the space of a week you've gone from winning 35p on matches to thousands of pounds you are a genius this time next month you will have millions

McLaren
When: 04 Mar 07 14:33
If McLaren you're confident that a team has definately won 100%, then that's your choice to NOT green up and accept the consequences.

Regards your next post...

Look back and READ my posts. I said I Backed the Draw after the 1st GOAL, not when the match was 2 - 0 in Chelsea's favour! To remind you, I Layed the Draw BEFORE the match started, then Backed The Draw AFTER Chelsea had scored 1 - 0. I trust that clarifies!


You said that you saw the price on a draw in the Chelsea game go up through 100, 300, 500, 1000 or whatever and "could have cashed in at any time". My point is that backing a draw at 1000 in the 92nd minute with a Chelsea two goal lead would not be an opportunity to "cash in", it would be throwing away profit from laying the draw as the match clearly was not going to end in a draw.

As you now say that you layed the draw and then backed it after Chelsea scored in order to green up then yes this is sensible. But it's not an amazing strategy! Laying and then backing something when the game goes your way is something that everyone on here does.

As for backing 0-0 after a goal is scored to "green up", that is just stupid. That's not greening up as you're already all green! 0-0 can't happen anymore so there is no need to green up a bet you've already won.

This must be a joke, I really don't know why I'm replying anymore. :)

Great advice from Dinosaur.

I''ve just backed a faller at 1000.00 for a tenner. I'm now
going to "green up".

Heres a chance to make some serious money ,
last year that red nose fame academy was won by the talentless edith bowman ,
mainly because , bein a radio one dj she was able to plug herself all day long , so to speak .this year her sidekick colin murray is in there ,
if anything he is of a higher profile than her as he presents sports shows as well as music shows and also his radio work ,
I backed him at eioght to one ish yesterday and as the show goes on I confidently predict that he will be tradin at less than half those odds.
the amount of support for him will not let anyone else beat him ,
also in this poor attempt at good telly ,
I couldnt believe that mel is five to one ,
this is the only scenario i would be happy to lay her ,
lol ,
live long and prosper
