Well the goal came withing a few minutes of my entering the trade. I stayed in even though I expected an equaliser from Arsenal. I meant to put an update on here quick just to say if I was not in, and it went 1-1 I would LTD as this is a goalsie game. As […]

Well the first one I analysed took some serious discipline to turn down. I even placed my bet and had to cancel it. Sporting Lisbon v Belenenses. This is a corker of a game, all except one possibly irrelevant but possibly very relevant statistic - the VERY low conceding stats for the away team. I […]

The day I half my stakes after betting £200 on every trade for well over a year, i get 3 winners in a row. So lovely the way luck runs eh! well 3 winners on 100 stakes gave me a nice £180+ green for the day. Would have been £360 any other day this year, […]

Didn't trade Dunfermline due to no money in the game. West ham put a good defence up as expected, but also as expected they are no match for LIverpool. waited for 2-0 to exit with £86 green on a £100 stake.   Just exited Dundee for another £44 green on £100 stake. not messing around […]

Man United v Newcastle - before I even looked at the stats, I had a dodgy feeling about this one. Man United are soon going to be under pressure in the league I think, although every pundit says otherwise. I basically just checked if Van Persie is playing and if not I was going to […]

Well the shortlist I have for trading today is probably the biggest I have ever seen in years of betfair football exchange trading. I am just doing stats, which could take a while and who knows I may still not end up with many trades as shortlists are only preliminary lists based on prices (so […]

£212 green today from two modest winning trades, easy money even for a Betfair beginner trader. Well Brugge left it late, swines had me sweating, but I laid a bit more at 2.8 (another £100) as those stats were too strong not to try and add a bit more green for a little more risk. […]

Well a quick update on Leverkusen, it's 1-0 before HT which is nice. Their stats suggest they can concede quite a few goals so I am getting out at 7.4 rather than wait for more goals as either side could score here. £87 green. One more trade from what was a massive shortlist of semi-tradeable […]

Only just sat down, first game is in play Leverkusen. I have laid draw at 4.1. Looking at other games now, will update soon

Villareal v Malaga interested me at first, but they score late and the price is too high in my view when compared to the stats which are not strong enough to merit the price. Braga - Now there's a ridiculously overpriced game! 6 for the draw? Have a look at the stats! That's a BACK […]

Well they took their time didn't they! But stats rarely lie, so at HT I placed a further £100 lay the draw bet at 3, adding a little more potential loss but a lot more potential green. A nice timely goal on 51 minutes and I just traded out with £187 greened 🙂 Here's hoping […]

Well that was a long morning of stats and analysis. Napoli - 7.45pm - Great home form, low conceding stats and scoring over 2 goals per game on average. Definite trade for me @ 4.5 to lay the draw outcome. Lens 1pm - WOW, I am struggling to find something I must be missing here?! […]

Well 1-0 didn't impress me. I couldn't watch game so I just hung out for another goal, bearing in mind the super strong stats. £179 greened which is a decent day 🙂 (The bigger green figure on Hyde is a result of my £10 hedge which I did to balance a bit of the red […]

Halifax Town v Hyde 1945hrs - Well at 5.1 I think this looks like a great value trade. The stats are pretty damn impressive. Check out the away team's goal conceding stats this season already, and a look at their league position and awful points on the board, this at least should be a very […]

Oh my GOD! Well I did as I said, got the comfy goal from Roma as expected, but held out right up to 60 minutes before cashing out as they should have scored many more. But it was just one of those games where you kinda knew something was going to go wrong. A few […]

Well I have to admit I am a bit nervous about today. After finding a large shortlist of around 8 games, I rejected all of them for one reason or another, mostly reason of recent form. There was one I just felt was too good to miss, but it is very pricey, well above what […]

not too impressive, but a nice strong game which played out ok, so many chances and could easily have been 2 or 3 nil within 30 minutes, but wasn't to be. green is green, so i ain't complainin!

Vitesse v Utrecht - Just sat down and spotted this priced at 5 after 2 minutes. The stats look good and I am trading it. Looking at other games on coupon now. This looks a good one I think

Well my last post didn't tempt fate as I thought it might! 2-0 nice and quick, out with £170 greened from a £200 lay. good enough for a sunday 🙂

I am holding out for 2-0, for more green. famous last words, 1-1 comin up!
