Staking - Betfair Football Trading

[Junior Senior]

Im actually a bit of a sicko at golf.

I play off 24 officially but we normally play: -

£5 nearest pins on par 3's with rollovers
£5 longest drives on par 5's with rollovers
£5 backgammon per hole.  Basically 5 pounds on each hole and either player can double the stakes at any stage, then other player loses the 5 or accepts and its now worth 10 and so on.  Very easy to have a 5 foot putt for £320.  We also roll these over if last hole was tied.

We have a joker where on one hole you play for debt to be doubled or wiped.

oh and stroke play for food and drinks after.

Plus flips for paying for the round and the buggy

How do you play rollovers in a longest drive ......

errr...nobody made it off the Tee so it rolls over to the next par 5.....I mean wtf

nobody hit the fairway obv...

Blatch, this sounds fun.  I play off 24 too.  Can I play? :-)

General question about trading/sports betting for blatch or anyone else for that matter.

Are there any sports trading community website/forums like blonde is for poker? I always imagined sports trading to be quite an insular activity where you have to teach yourself, rather than learn from others, am I wrong? I bet Im wrong.

a bit right and a bit wrong, arbing is a differnt thing, would help to have someone teach you that i suppose if you wanted to get into it but you'd suss it yourself after a while anyway, whereas recreational trading, laying, whatever you're doing is the same as punting really, know your shit and you'll be a winner

The thing about Betfair and trading is hat there are soooooo many different ways to make a profit and everyone has their owns methods etc.

Its finding what works for you and going with it.  Its taken me a few years but I have different trading techniques for different sports and its mainly due to the market acting differently from sport to sport.  This football one is something new which is why I wanted to share it with Blonde etc.

Well get a round sorted sometime soon bud, get a few of us from here going

Have avoided doing the Man City game tonight.  City, being such a new side is a bit of a gamble as I dont know how the betfair market reacts to them yet.  I was pretty certain the other day when they played West Ham at home but I want to gauge a few of their markets yet when away from home to see what happens with them before I start trading them as well.

Sundays game wasnt a great one to trade with Chelsea and Liverpool, add the fact I was busy most Saturday and all of Saturday night and again Sunday Morning means it was a quiestish weekend trading wise.

Will also be a quiet week now as International week but we will be back in full flow when the teams return after the internationals.

I remember a few pages ago you mentioned that you left Man City out as you were unsure how the market would react to there new squad. Was the profit being so low a reflection of your uncertainty or didn't you have a lot of time to trade?

I only ask as i really can't suss out man city at the moment either, they done my coupon today, i really don't know why the fuck i took them when im still unsure of them.



[X] wish i had a track record that made £72 profit seem low!
