Football Trading on the back burner for a while

Since the beginning of the year I have been working on a new project for making money online and have had to put other things on to the back burner. I have even pod faded with the Mac20Q things. Well the fact that some family things led me to be a bit out of sorts with podcasting for a while and I have just not got back into the swing of it. Time to get back to work though. Maybe the fact that Birmingham City beat Arsenal in the League CUp Final last week got me thinking about football again. Away the Blues !!

I have the Footy Money Maker to get working with again. The NAC method is one that I am still not sure about and would like to do some paper trading with. There are couple of other things that I have been interested in that need some follow up too.

The money making thing I have been working on and I am very excited about is the writing business. I am creating web sites and following the “The Keyword Academy” method of using SEO to get the traffic to the sites. I have to write a lot of words but that is OK as I like writing. It is an excellent system and I have also been publishing to InfoBarrel and other revenue sharing sites. I have seen an increase in the income on Adsense but it is still small yet. Really needs time to grow and probably will need 12 months of work. The goal is $1000 income per month.

The Keyword Academy has some excellent tools and help available to work its system, I am very impressed with it overall. So far I have set up three sites and I will be working on another for which I have already bought the domain and set up the wordpress on the hosting. I expect to use the similar techniques to build up the traffic to the Amazing iPad site and the Mac20Q Podcast site also.

If you have any questions for me let me know – I want to hear from you about anything I am working on for making money – The writing, podcasting, betting strategies, trading on Betfair or whatever.

Under 2.5 goals and the Bolton vs Birmingham game

I have made a couple of videos showing how to be successful trading the under 2.5 goals market and today I found a refinement to the strategy which I really quite like. What you do is to put an insurance bet on their being a goal in the first 1o minutes. I placed a bet of 100 euro before the start of the game on the unders with odds of 1.81. It is a bit low really – better to get 1.9 and above, but I went for it anyway. I also placed the insurance bet on the first goal going in, in the first ten minutes. I got odds of 6.2 on that one and I used a stake of 10 euro. You don’t want to put too much on that because it limits the profits on the unders betting.

What do you know but Birmingham put the ball in the back of the net in 4 minutes and the insurance bet pays up 52 Euro. All I did then was to wait for the odds to come down again on the under 2.5 goals and I was able to trade out or scratch the unders bet with odds of 1.78 to end up with my profit on the game of 51.39 euro.That was just before half time.

It can still go bad of course if there had been more goals in the first half. I was able to lock in the profit just before half time. It was good that I did because of Birmingham getting another goal on 51 minutes. It had not helped Bolton’s cause with the goal keeper getting sent off.

I use the excellent BetAngel software to work out these bets and send them in with one click. It is really handy also to be able to have one click greening up too by using the ladder for the market you are working with.

Bolton scored a goal from a penalty and closed the under 2.5 goals market on that game so I went on to look at the other games of the day.

Right now it is 22 minutes and no goals scored in the games Sunderland vs Man City and Liverpool vs West Brom. I greened up after 14 minutes with the Sunderland game. Not so keen that there were some minutes with all of the money at risk due to already losing the 10 on the insurance bet. So I laid off at odds of 1.66 – green at 13.29 less the tenner. 3.29 profit on the game.

Liverpool playing West Brom started with odds of 3.34 no goals as I look now at 28 minutes and the green up would be at 1.57. I suppose that is a thing to watch out for when you are trading these markets on Betfair or Betdaq, that you don’t spread yourself too thin to be able to do a good job of tracking the scorelines. Concentrate on what you are doing!
