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]

What happens if there is a goal or two or three in the first 15 mins ?

This is something i was looking at doing as well. Will be interesting to hear from those of you doing this already.

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
