Well a good day. Made £150 on Vitesse. Then Montpellier got a goal so I took £140 there and traded out but kept watching. Away team scored and the odds tumbled WAY too low, not sure why but it showed me a strong value bet as there was no way either team would sit back […]

Vitesse v NAC Breda - I like this but not blown away by it. Given the price up near 5, and the fact that the home team doesn't usually score early, I am going to enter and lay the draw at 20-30 minutes hopefully for around odds of 5, if still no goals by then. […]

Well two good picks. I didn't trade Mansfield due to low volume which is a but annoying as it ended 4-0 so the stats were good there. Took a small £120 green on Bournemouth after the first goal

Only two trades today, possibly only one for me due to low volume Bournemouth v Scunthorpe - this looks a gooden Mansfield v Gateshead - low volume, only £6,500 matched as I type this so I can't get in unless it rises to around 20k for my larger than average bets, but will wait and […]

Well there were lots of good looking games but the Betfair website, including the API which connects to my preferred Betfair trading software Bet Angel, has been playing up a lot. Very weird stuff going on, and no doubt it has cost a lot of people a lot of money. Steering clear, as when these […]

Phew! Goal eventually, was beginning to get ready to take a loss and exit trade. £150 greened.

Mansfield v Nuneaton - This looks low volume but could be enough for me to trade by tomorrow evening. The stats are excellent, only the price is where I might have a problem. If it is around 5 to 5.2 I will trade it, but I have a feeling it might rise as more money […]

Not much doing today. Only one game on my shortlist for laying the draw - Westerlo v Dessel Sport, a Belgian League 2 game which means probably very low liquidity. Not certain I will trade it, but I like the stats. Will see how the money looks on the ladders in Bet Angel tomorrow.

Well it should have been 4-0 by half time, but it was only 1-0 which is a bit disappointing. Still I greened up £125 on Roma v Parma so that was a healthy £525 green day 🙂

Sorry for the time of this post. For some reason I couldn't log in to post my picks earlier. I only had one trade (Fiorentina) which netted me a nice £400 green. I am just checking what other picks I have for this evening, but one I found so far which I like the look […]

Well I was watching the game, and it definitely looked a good trade. Home team were all over Hercules, but then a break saw the dog get a goal to go ahead. I could and would usually have stayed in, as it's not such a bad position to be in. If the dog scores again […]

I have one pick today. Real Madrid B v Hercules at 8pm. It is not an ideal pick, not by normal standards, but the home form and away form are so good, and the price is only 4, I think it's worth trading.

Well its 0-0 in Atletico game, thought it might be a slow starter. but the stats show Madrid have not failed to score at home all season. With odds on draw of 3.25 i am laying it and getting in now. Sociedad scored. would normally stay in as madrid are storming for goals, but busy […]

Atletico Madrid v Real Sociedad - this is very tempting, but just an inch away from being tempting enough to trade for me. I will watch some of game if i can, and that may sway me into trading, but without that, its a very close call but a no for now. Stats are here […]

PSV got the goal around 75 minutes. I would usually stay in for a second, but I did a half and half. I backed a bit to get my total possible loss down to £15. I have a win £150 on the draw and PSV.   Update - Lost £15. Ho hum, was worth it. […]

I was out all day today so had no trades. I have just got in and nothing takes my fancy this evening either. However I notice Heerenveen are 2-0 up against PSV. Stats suggest PSV score late generally, and score around 2.5-3 goals on average when playing away from home. I have laid Heerenveen for […]

Well Leicester didn't do the business. Something on the football stats gave me a slightly nervous feeling about that one, but with odds @ 4.2 it seemed worth the risk. Leeds got a goal though so I only lost £40 for the day, as I made £20 scalping Real Madrid game before KO. For fun, […]

Leicester v Leeds - not the best pick in the world, but worth of a trade just about. I have laid the draw at 4.2 That's all for today

Well it was a lovely trade in the end. I scalped and greened up £20 while waiting for kick off, so when they scored the first goal I just traded out, taking a healthy £110 greened for the day, that's plenty good enough. The second goal confirmed it was a good trade, so I hope […]

Was looking like a no trading day, but there is one  game I was back and forth on. Sevilla v Celta de Vigo. Looking at home form, and away form respectively, I think it's a worthy trade, only just though. If I was around I would probably rather watch some of the game and get […]
