I dont agree that laying the correct score with injurytime to play is a losing method...

for me this works really well,  i lay @ 1.10 for £200 a time (£20 liabilitiy)

done it 5 times so far this season and had 2 winners,  i set up a lay of 1.10 on the liverpool/arsenal match and it was at 1.12 before it was suspended for arsenals goal (another 15 seconds id have ben matched)


orient/charlton.....goal scored in injurytime +£200
forest/leeds........no gosl scored -£20.00
man utd/newcastle...no goal scored -£20.00
young boys/spurs....no goal scored -£20.00
AFC/histon..........goal scored +£200


+£340 (before comm)


low risk high reward is the way to go[;)]

5 matches is hardly a big sample.

thats just this season m8,  i did it 100s and 100s of times last season..

I am more than happy to start a thread on the subject and keep a record of its sucess


backing at 1.10 for £100 a time,  9 winners gives you £90 profit,  if the 10thl oses then you are -£10 and youve had 9 winning bets out of 10

laying at 1.10,  if youl ose the 1st 9 times you are -£90 but if the 10th is a winner then you make £100 and are +£10 from 1 winning bet out of 10


backing 1.10.....9 winners, 1 loser -£10
laying 1.10......1 winner, 9 losers +£10

if you can land 2 winning lays out of 10 it looks alot better..

laying 1.10...2 winners, 8 losers +£120


which is better?   backing 1.10 shots needing 10/10 just to turn a profit, or laying 1.10 where you only need 1 winner from 10 to make a profit

i know which id rather be on..

I agree with precisely one of the "to loose (sic)" section, although probably about five apply to most people.

Of course you will win with that sample but if you replace 9 with 11 in your sample, you will lose, so what is your point ?
