I'm looking at the Fulham v Chelsea match odds market for tonight, Fulham currently available to lay @ 5.7. If I lay them at 5.7 with a view to backing them during the game to trade out for a profit, how long will it take for them to drift enough for me to make a few quid? If they are 5.7 to lay just before kick off, what price will they be say 20 minutes into the match if it's still 0-0?

I would say roughly the same or maybe a tick or two higher.
The price will of course depend more on what has happened during the first 20 minutes. |

i don't think i'll bother then

the prices will change faster and faster the later in the game it is, but a goal against you late in the game would be devastating.

no idea mate
i don't think i will actually go through with my half assed trading strategy, will stick to just straight bets i think |

By:
Price them up and get matched at a price either side
Backing or laying and hoping something does or doesn't happen is gambling and as you say you'd be better just picking a team and sticking with it |

yep my "trading" idea involves a lot of gamble

Sky is a long way behind the action.
Couple of years ago i put radio commentary on while watching a game on Sky: A goal was scored with a breakaway from a corner. When they called the goal on the radio the team that scored it were still in the middle of their own half on the TV. |
