can it be profitable backing unders then trade after 15 mins
mate of mine says won thousands
look at todays argentina v nigeria unders @ 2.1
what would price be after 15mins maybe 1.7
example trade 100 @ 2.1 lay 1.7 123 gives profit of £20
any thoughts[:p]

This is something i do now and again but i get out after 5 mins
all i can say is choose your matches carefully I would not expect a 2.1 to go down so far as a general rule if you watch under 2.5 go's down 1 tick per minute above 1.9 or below 1.6 this can take longer example being south africa v mexico backed at 1.54 £100 after 7 mins price was 1.49 only made £3 but its a 3% increase |

Hiltonfish1...i guess there's no harm in paper trading this strategy for say 10 games? Hope you don't mind me doing it here...
Bet 1 - South Korea v Greece First Half Goals - Under 1.5 GOALS Odds before kick-off 1.28 Back at £100...trade off in 15mins! |

P.S also if an early goal comes in then your choices are
sweat it out or get out for a loss personally i wait till half time if amother goal hasn't been scored the odds will be low enough to either break eeven or make a small profit if 2 get scored then I kiss my cash goodbye expecting a third and look back to see why I chosse that match some times you get lucky some time you dont |

Ah no man, goal in the first 10 mins. If i had £100 on this and not a silly paper trade i would have traded out making no loss if they score a second goal in the first half or making a total loss if they don't. Looks like there'll be another goal in the first half.
Interesting though, laying odds were 1.25 after 5mins start before the goal was scored. So if you're scraping only a couple of ticks you could have traded out then for a very small profit. |

This is why I prefer under 2.5 and trade after 5 mins
1.48 pre kick off 1/2 time 1.46 after 1 goal so even if you had gone the 15 mins you could trade for a small profit of 2 ticks havent bet on this match tho :( |

Would not drop to 1.7 after 15 minutes , more like 40. If there had been a lot of chances and it looked open the price wouldn't move downwards at all
