Hi I’d be interested to hear any pointers regarding trading the 0-0 pre match. Im looking to scalp a few ticks has the odds drop. I’m currently looking at dropping odds on the 0-0 on oddsportal. Does anyone use any software? I was looking at PMT but thats getting pulled in the new year.

Cheers

Wait til the teams are announced and prices start to move.

Instead of backing and then laying out for a few ticks profit I have recently been trying the opposite where I have been identifying good value games for goals (including high odds of 1st half goals) and laying the 0-0 pre-match.

Early days and 6 out of 6 success so far with 5 of these producing goals in the first half for winning lays.

Happy to exchange match thoughts as we are looking at opposing strategies - so neither of us should choose the same game to get involved with......

Good luck.

There's no market noise on this market so it doesn't make much sense to scalp it, the only way you can pull off any scalps would be to speculate on the direction of the price. And to speculate you don't need Oddsportal or PMT, just a bit of common sense, you can observe the draw price and the under 2.5 to see how they affect 0-0 and other scorelines. By jumping on dropping odds from Oddsportal you're effectively hopping on a bit of a trend and hoping that it continues, but it can reverse just as easily.

I know some people like to try and scalp 0-0 prematch to get a bit of "insurance" for their inplay trades on Match Odds, but MO and o2.5 are markets that are far superior in every way if you're going to try and scalp a few ticks. However, if you're going to speculate on a preoff market then you might as well go for swings instead.

Just my two cents.
