Serious question: Does anybody understand why so many people chip away sub £1 bets on the lower leagues?
As a random stab in the dark could it be that with less liquidity Bf does more cross-matching and that leads to smaller individual stakes? I've never studied cross-matching so as I said just a guess.
Cheers, I had considered that just after posting. The irony is that I advised somebody on another thread to take things in his stride and not get frustrated by the way the market behaves, and I've already fallen foul of my own advice. :lol:

A forward skillfully dribbles the ball past defenders and looks menacing, and somebody thinks, shit, he might score, I better lay off 15 pence of my trade!!
Just a guessing, could be a way of creating price history by tracking a price range in a live market. End if the day, download results into excel and analyse the data.

Yep, took a shot. Got the first goalscorer right, little else.

I wish I had your presentation skills. I've never looked at colours and fonts, all my spreadsheets are plain boring black and white, with bold headings. :)

the question is do you use them, they have to be pleasing on the eye otherwise you stop using them after a while.
That latest one is one click and it fully updates from Soccerstats.

If they win money I'm not sure I'd stop because they didn't look pretty.

Luckily for me my bots are fully auto and do any gathering in the background so never need to look at them but I guess there's no harm in making things look better if you need to.

Spreadsheets that are pleasing to the eye are a bonus, especially if you look at them frequently, but ultimately they are for information - like a really interesting book, black text should do the job. One of my football spreadsheets just calculates the best price to close, one cell is all I need to look at!

Some spreadsheets show the obvious as the whole world knows
Other variants maybe less known
Its about profit loss risk reward
