The 'Back scores to under 3.5' Strategy in action

The Huddersfield v Sheffield Wednesday match seemed to suit this strategy to a tee. I forgot to take a screenshot of the starting position so you'll have to make do with one at half time and one at full time. The entire £100 stake on the Correct Score market was covered by laying Under 3.5 - but having backed the same first - thus reducing the 'cost' of the insurance. You will notice two unmatched bets in the U3.5 shot - they were there to give me a profit on the game if there was a last minute goalfest!

The start / Half Time position:


The covered by Under 3.5 lays position at about 55 minutes:



And finally the (just before) Full Time position:


So with a stake of £100 I generated a profit of £40.09 across two markets nett of commission. I'm beginning to like this trade - even if it is INCREDIBLY boring!

    Hi Gundulf,

    Interesting trade but I do not really understand the idea. Why do not you just back U 3,5 and drip lay it off adds the odds shrinks?

    Happy new year,

    Gundulf, it's easier to do the trade in just one market and you never end up paying commissions on two markets.

    Good luck

    Halt, I suppose that's what I do, in effect, it just doesn't seem like that when I'm doing it! I know what I mean....

    GB!!!! How the devil are you? Long time no speak! The reason I use two markets is this.... sometimes both bets will come in .... or you might get a 3rd goal with 5 mins to go which enables you to have a good green on CS AND a healthy one on 3.5. Also it's easier to compute ... £100 stakes on CS means I need a total of £100 laid in U3.5 to cover it... easy for my simple brain to work out.
