Hi,

I am looking to trade France U21 v Slovakia U21 which takes place tomorrow. All the scores have odds apart from either to Win by scoring more than 3 goals. How do I get odds? Do I bid odds of 10 or odds of 3? I tried bidding 6 but it gets rejected.

How to odds start to get accepted and traded?

Hi Luke. What's the name of the market you're looking at in the navigation panel? I can't see a market for more than 3 goals.

Welcome back Luke, many have missed you :)

The match you picked doesn't have a lot of money matched, not even 1k on Match Odds and the Correct Score market you're talking about has 0 money matched overall, so not the best market to trade so early, it will be a bit more liquid tomorrow probably.

The orders that you see waiting on these markets are taking up a value position, it's just market making stuff so there's always a gap between the back and lay prices, and the fair price is somewhere in the middle. In other words, it's not a tradable market yet.

You can place orders wherever you want, but I would be careful with that, because if you place them on the wrong prices and deep into value territory they will be matched very fast, and you'll be taking terrible value and opening a terrible position which you can't close for anything other than a hefty loss.
