Have I made money with it?
I have actually used FCG with real cash and made money with it . I have to say that I realised that I was lucky with it, and didn’t hit a nil nil scoreline while I was using it. Only now that I have created the Footy Money Maker would I again use the system for real with my hard earned cash.
So what do you actually have to do?
Before the trading session
Fill in the size of your betting bank, then put in the percentage which dictates your exposure per trade. Decide whether or not to use an insurance bet and choose the percentage of the liability to cover.
Ready to start trading
Fill in the odds available on the lay side of the draw in the match odds. Then place your first bet with the stake size that the spreadsheet gives you. In the correct final score market you will find the price of the nil nil. You could also use the draw-draw price instead of the nil nil to give you the insurance if you are using it.
Game is running
So you have made your choices and you wait for the goal. All you have to do then it to enter the back price you see for the draw in the Match odds – when the first goal goes in. Finish the trade by greening up with the stake indicated by the spreadsheet. DONE
It is a pretty simple idea really – but there is a bit more to it when you look at the probabilities for the events that have an effect on whether you will make money or not. An important part of the strategy is the choice of game to use with the Footy Money Maker. Really what you want is – a game where there is a clear favourite to win the game. Like Manchester United playing Birmingham at home. The likelihood of a win for Man U is high and the draw is not that probable either.
Of course in a situation like this the lay odds for the draw will be higher and the trade will cost more money. But when the first goal goes in and it will most likely be Man U that score first. – That first goal by the reds will mean that the odds will be just right for you to green up. The thing with this Footy Money Maker strategy is that you are tied to tracking the game until the goal is scored and when there are a number of premiership games all starting at the same time and you want to work with more than one game you could have your work cut out.
The odds on the draw will make the jump after the goal but then they will naturally start to fall after that – depending a little on how many minutes you are into the game with that first goal.
Do the back bet as soon as the goal is scored
But you do have to get the back bet on the draw as soon as the market reopens – If you have a way to do this automatically all the better. I have noticed that there is a spike as soon as the market reopens after the goal – giving better odds for a very short time before they settle down – maybe you can catch those with a triggered bet or a robot that is working it for you. Some of the better betting softwares can do these sorts of things. Bet Angel for example. Soccer mystic which is part of that software will give you some insight into how the odds might fluctuate during a game and I recommend BetAngel for the automation.
