Hi

I am looking to green out.

I want to put a lay bet on the draw in a soccermatch before the start at a certain odds. That is clear and no problem.

The problem arises when there is no goals scored, and i would like to minimize my losses. Let say i lay the draw @ 3,7, we are now in the 75th min and no goals. The back odds for the draw is down to 1,9, and I would like to minimize my loss by placing a back bet at 1,85.

Is this possible?

Nice idea but if a goal is scored the market will suspend and return at completely different odds. You can't cut a loss like you describe, it's just not possible.

Ye, if a goal is scored before it reaches 1,9 or whatever i set, then it will go up, and the idea is then to make the back bet for a green screen.

If this is not possible...is it possible to set a time frame to it insted of odds? Usually it disp the 2,0 odds mark around 70' depending abit on the teams and match play.

You can use Excel and a simply if statement to place the bet when the price hits 1.85.
