So im looking at the football goal markets, but o4.5 upwards, which tend to mean if i want to lay at odds of say 30+ i have to have a large portion of my bankroll in play, now if a goal goes in I adjust so im not risking the whole amount.
however..
Sometimes, more than i like, BetFair seem to close matches to trading, so I can be stuck with 25% of my roll in a market without the ability to trade out my profit/loss
Do you guys have any expereince with this and any advice?
Most youd risk on one market
Unfortunately it's a part of the risk when trading inplay, don't place bets you can't afford to lose.thepressure wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2026 12:21 pmBetFair seem to close matches to trading, so I can be stuck with 25% of my roll in a market without the ability to trade out my profit/loss
Everyone has a different risk tolerance, so might be worth scaling down your stakes to a comfortable level that works for you.
100% Agree thats just Reckless, Trading isnt get high returns, the returns look after themselves if you have a proper Strategy in place and Plan maybe watch this Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ02GNfdkXc&t=108sKai wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2026 1:11 pmUnfortunately it's a part of the risk when trading inplay, don't place bets you can't afford to lose.thepressure wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2026 12:21 pmBetFair seem to close matches to trading, so I can be stuck with 25% of my roll in a market without the ability to trade out my profit/loss

Unless you have a reason to think you have an edge over the market then every trade makes you a loss by an average of the cost of the spread. Therefore you're better off putting up a reduced stake and letting it ride rather than planning to exit for a partial loss.
