Staking - Betfair Football Trading

[Blatch]

Why have a 37 min sweat? WHy not just take your 3 point swing and lock in a small profit for no sweat?

such a sick brag.  It went down, it never hit 1.3 till 37 mins, I'd have had to accept a loss if I'd backed at a lower price.

Why do you need to understand how its done when Sir Blatch has so kindly offered to do all the hard work for you... Hand over your money, sit back, smoke a cigar and wait for payday

....and then pray he offers to go again next year

Because I'd like to be able to do it myself of course!

No rub intended, I didnt read the post properly.  I thought you could have backed back at 1.3 pre kick off.

Knowing the markets is the real key here and then trusting your knowledge.  I didnt trust myself today and bottle doing the Liverpool game but deep down knew they would drift.  They went from evens to 2.3 and back in to 2.2, could have made a nice sum.

Arse were never going to drift today although Man City were always going to yesterday.  JUst knowledge of the markets.

I know, was only joking.  Just thought 1.27 was hugely short.  I may get there, maybe!

I'm sure if you spent some time experimenting you could find the answer Silo... If you spend enough time watching the markets it must just be a case of spotting patterns that you can use to your advantage.. I am purely guessing here, but I would imagine the fact the games blatch is targeting are televised is significant... eg armchair punters have tendancy to back home teams  just before kick off ... or something along these lines

Just read this back and realised it might sound like I was saying there is nothing to it etc.... Obv far from it and realise Blatch has got mad skillz, that us mere mortals can only dream of

Nice addition

[Redbull]

Yeah takes mad skillz to know how and which market is going to shift. Blatch is the master. 

[Junior Senior]

do i need to be able to add up more than two numbers in my head to be able to do it?

[yorky34]

[yorky34]

i agree  , but i strayed from what i usually did  which is where the discpline comes in , when i was sticking to my rules i was making a steady profit

[Horneris]

I wonder how much Neil will scoop on the Everton match tomorrow.

Big amounts matched on them @ 1.6 and 1.61. now they are 1.68 and drifting even further as we speak as news came to light that 9 players are injured.
