Trading Football Games After a Goal

This is a very quick strategy to do in-running, during a football match. By backing teams to win after they have scored the first goal, you can normally lock in profit after a minute of two once the price drops down. Obviously, the downside is a quick goal from the other team.

It’s often heard that you are most vulnerable when you have just scored, but I challenge this opinion and think people just remember the few occassions this does happen, rather than the large majority of the time when this doesn’t happen. Furthermore, by studying team trends, you should be able to spot which teams score goals after conceeding and which teams lose confidence and stop playing well. Opposingly, teams which score and don’t conceed and teams which score and go on to conceed can also be easily studied. By identifying these teams, you can also increase your edge and chances of winning. Something the average betfair punter won’t even be thinking about in-running. I can’t give any examples of how this strategy has worked for me, purely because it was an idea that dawned on me recently and something I will be trying for the first time when the Premiership season kicks off again in August 2006.
