Trading tennis with BetAngel

This week sees the US Open tennis at Flushing Meadows, the last Grand Slam of the year. This will no doubt bring renewed interest in Tennis Trader and Bet Angel.

It is useful to note that the US Open is particularly interesting for people who normally don’t trade tennis, as a lot of matches occur later UK time. This means people can trade these matches without interfering in their normal activity. It’s a good opportunity to learn about trading Tennis or to trade it full time if you usually trade on other sports.

As you know football is my preferred trading sport but then in the summer there is not so much football so would be a good idea to learn to trade some other sport and I can tell you now that cricket is not for me.

Under 2.5 goals and the Bolton vs Birmingham game

Sunderland vs ManCity.pngI 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!

England the big let down

England vs Algeria

Using the Football cash Generator with the England game.I am pleased to say that doing some paper trading is a good thing to help you work out the best method of using this technique, or any technique. With the trading I have been working with level stakes of 100. Mostly I have been getting 40% profit on games. There was one game with a minus 7% profit. So that was OK, trading out was a good move. I even had one where I let it run to get 100% profit but should have really traded out if I were following the rules.

So what are the lessons to learn from the England game about the Football Cash Generator overall. The first most important one is to base the stake on the liability for the game. It should be 10% of your betting bank and not level stakes. With the odds of the England game at the start of the game being a bit high on the lay on the draw, you would have too high a liability to work with. It would be easy to lose a big chunk of cash.

The other thing to look at is the amount of insurance you want to use on the Football Cash Generator. I have been putting 10% as the amount and maybe I could have set it as 25% or 50%. The only thing is then you need higher back odds on the draw after the goal to make that work. Definitely a good idea to test out the settings before you go mad with this.

On the face of it the game should have been a good game to work with. England should have won the game or scored a goal at some point, but they played so badly that the plans all went out of the window.

Football Cash Generator and the Netherlands vs Denmark

Under 2.5 goals on Netherlands vs Denmark.png

Using the Football Cash Generator

I have been looking at this game for the Football Cash Generator system and got in a lay bet on the draw at 3.50 and an insurance bet for 10% on the nil nil at odds of 6.8. But as you can see from the picture above the trading on the under 2.5 goals would have worked very nicely. It is hard to know what is going to come from the teams when they actually start playing in the tournament. The Germany vs Australia would have been the right game for the Football Cash Generator with Germany certainly being the favourite.

Back to the Netherlands vs Denmark game, it is half time and the commentators are complaining of a lack lustre, bordering on boring game. Lets see what happens in the second half. We are looking for a goal to be scored by either side.


Goal went in from an own goal just after the start of the second half putting Holland up 1 by the one goal. the back odds on the draw around 7 for a minute and settled at back price of 6.8 nicely greened up with a 42.66% profit less the 5% Betfair cost.

Not going to watch any more of the game because the vuvuzela things are driving me nuts. The definitely should be banned from the stadia, bloody stupid annoying horn things……

England vs USA with Football Cash Generator

Odds on the England vs USA

Great start to the game with a goal from the favourites England early in the game. I got 4.40 lay bet on the draw at the start of the game. and after the goal went in the back odds were up to 7.80. Excellent for England and excellent for me. With a 100 on the lay bet and a setting of 25% target for winning. I put on a 10% insurance bet down on the nil nil score. The greened up amount was 40.63 and the only deduction from that will be the 5% to Betfair.

Of course I want England to win the game and it is looking like the lads can do it. But as far as the trading is concerned it is all over. That is until Rob Green the England goalie messes up and lets USA back into the game. There was some swearing happening on this sofa, I can tell you.

Football Cash Generator

Football Cash Generator-Argentina-NIgeria

Watching the Argentina vs Nigeria game in the World Cup 2010 in South Africa, and Argentina are leading 1-0. I went with the Football Cash Generator for the technique to use.

To see how the odds are likely to run you might want to check out Soccer Mystic

I got in with a lay bet on the draw at the start of the game at 4.9. The goal went in from the favourites Argentina at 6 minutes and the odds bumped up to 9.5 and that left it easy to green up and have the profit locked in.

With the Football Cash Generator you can have an insurance bet. I decided that would not bother with insurance with this game. By using some knowledge about the teams and football you can give yourself the edge to make sure you make money with this technique.

I will do the same sort of thing with the England game later on today. The Football Cash Generator works best with a match where one team is better than the other. Of course anything can happen in a football game and that is what can make it so much fun.

Just goes to show that it is such a good idea to trade and not bet on the game. Since the goal at 6 mins Argentina have looked like scoring a few times but Nigeria have threatens with counter attacks from time to time also. Now injury time over and and Nigeria has lost their chance. Should have been more goals in the game but the Nigerian goalkeeper made some excellent saves.

The World Cup is coming and you should be thinking about how you might profit by some Betfair trading on the football games. One of the methods of trading I have found successful is the under 2.5 goals markets.

You can place a back bet at the start of a game and trade out to a profit at about 10 – 15 minutes. It is pretty easy and I talk about things you might watch out for while using this technique. I have done this under 2.5 goals trading on Betfair and found it to be successful. I can recommend it as a good way to make some money.

Looking forward to the World Cup

football soccer ball

I am so looking forward to seeing the world cup. I would be tempted to have a look at the football cash generator to see how it works out. In the earlier rounds it will be OK abut could be a bit iffy to use later in the tournament when it gets to the knockout games and anything can happen.

Are you planning to do any trading on the World Cup football games? If so which are markets you are interested in? I always like the under 2.5 goals market. I also like the look of the technique of laying the loser after the first goal combined with putting some back trades on the opposing 2 – 1 scoreline. I did some tests with that before and it has some merit.

The main thing about the Football Cash Generator method is that you have to be watching the game and really alert for when the next goal goes in. So if you think you can work a couple of games at the same time you should perhaps think again.

Which ever method you are going to use think about using BetAngel or Soccer Mystic to do your trading . I make sense to have the proper tools for the job.

It was heart breaking to see Liverpool give it all last night and in extra time look like they would go through, only for Diego Forlan to spoil their dream. After they got them selves into the driving seat with that second goal they should have done what Inter Milan did to Barcelona the previous night. Inter just locked it down with a six man back line and the rest coming back to help at times too. Hoping now that Barca win the rest of their games in the league to keep first place away from Real Madrid.
