Got a nice green now...!! (Come on you reds!!)
But did you see that Liverpool traded at around 40's after it went back in play?? Not sure how much was traded but if you had had £100 at 40, you could have a green on Liverpool of £2800 with no liability...

Hi Peter

I've sometimes wondered about exploiting the over-reactions you get when a goal is scored.

I think the challenge is that lots of people probably have the same idea, and have spreadsheets for that purpose. So I imagine the big odds get taken by the people with the fastest connections. What do you think?

Hi Jeff
Yes there are def opportunities whilst the market re establishes itself..but I think you need to do it manually as you see 'mistakes' by people when it goes back in play...(Ie they back too low or lay too high)..I do it in conjunction with soccer mystic..

I've decided to lump all my green on liverpool scoring..so I'm -£3 on Man u and a 4 fig on Liverpool, will green up if an equaliser goes in..if it doesnt, not too unhappy as it's always nice to beat Liverpool!!

The secret Jeff is to use the full capabilities of soccer mystic

Work out what the price will be if either team scores right now, place a manual bet (either back or lay) considerably outside of this and press 'keep bets'

This price will stay there whilst the market re-adjusts and it's amazing how often you'll get matched

Knowing where the market should be is more important than connection speed. It's unlikely you could use a spreadsheet to automate it effectivley

Your best bet Jeff is to lay Man Utd outright for the FA Cup

They've been drawn away to the Super Saints

:D

I think we all know who normally wins that battle! :twisted:
