| Date: 2nd November |
| Time: 8.00pm |
| Fixture: UEFA Cup |
| Teams: Blackburn v Basel - SCORE: 3-0 |
Our Recommendation:
It's difficult predicting UEFA and Champions League games as they are a little unpredicatable. This game looks like the safest trade and is another lay the draw trade for us. We should be able to get odds of around 3.75 laying the draw on this one which looks very generous as a trade out after Blackburn score should give us some good profit. |
Our Trading Result:
We layed the draw at 3.60 on this one. Blackburn obliged us with a goal as expected although it came quite late in the second half at around 75 minutes. We traded out of the game at odds of 9.00 securing a lovely profit across the board. Blackburn then went on to bang 2 more in on the 89th and 90th minutes. |
Profit made on this trade = £60
|
| Date: 4th November |
| Time: 12.45pm |
| Fixture: Premiership |
| Teams: Fulham v Everton - SCORE: 1-0 |
Our Recommendation:
Everton have not had a 0-0 draw this season but they do like a 1-1 draw. Fulham are similar and have only had a 0-0 draw once against Totenham who also quite like a draw! The odds on this one are crying out for a lay of the draw (around 3.30) as both teams are almost identical in odds. The likelyhood here is there will be a goal or possibly 2 or 3 and we will be able to profit no matter who scores. Lay the draw and trade out after the first goal is scored by either team. |
Our Trading Result:
We got our lay bet on at 3.30 as expected. Fulham scored after around 66 minutes ensuring our profit on this one. We traded out of the match at 5.00 securing a nice profit no matter what the result. |
Profit made on this trade = £35
|
| Date: 4th November |
| Time: 3.00pm |
| Fixture: Premiership |
| Teams: Man Utd v Portsmouth - SCORE: 3-0 |
Our Recommendation:
With Man Utd at the top and Portsmouth chasing not far behind we should see a good battle between these two. Man Utd averaging 2.3 goals per match and scoring in an average of 39 minutes we should be backing over 2.5 goals in this match. We can trade out by laying over 2.5 goals after the first goal but if it comes early it is probably worth hanging in as a second will be expected. Especially if the first comes from Portsmouth. |
Our Trading Result:
We backed over 2.5 goals at 1.77. Man Utd scored after just 3 minutes and we stayed in the trade as we were expecting more goals. You could have got out then at odds of 1.43 with a nice little profit. Man Utd scored again very quickly in around the 10th minute and we traded out at 1.11 bagging a great profit. |
Profit made on this trade = £59
|
| Date: 5th November |
| Time: 1.30pm |
| Fixture: Premiership |
| Teams: West Ham v Arsenal - SCORE: 1-0 |
Our Recommendation:
Poor old West Ham have really struggled and last week saw their first victory in a long time and that was close at the end. Arsenal should not have a problem here as the last 3 bottom teams they have played have resulted in easy wins. We will be laying the draw (around 4.40) on this game and trading out after Arsenal take the lead. There is a possibility of a West Ham goal so we may have to wait to get our trade out odds but Arsenal should get ahead fairly easily. |
Our Trading Result:
We got the lay on this match at 4.10. Well they do say it's a funny old game! West Ham scored in the 89th minute after a torturous wait. It looked like a failed trade till then but we ended up with a 100% profit on this one. |
Profit made on this trade = £100
|
| Date: 7th November |
| Time: 7.45pm |
| Fixture: Carling Cup |
| Teams: Southend v Man Utd - SCORE: 1-0 |
Our Recommendation:
Southend are really struggling at the bottom of their league and although this is a Carling Cup match we should see a win here from Man Utd. Although the same was expected from Arsenal v West Ham at the weekend!!!! Both of these teams have high scoring matches a lot of the time and Man Utd will probably come out looking to put this one to bed early so the trade is to back over 2.5 goals (around 1.90) and trade out after either the first goal or second depending when they are scored. There is a good possibility of an early goal in under 15 minutes and if so we'll proabably stick with the trade and wait for a second. |
Our Trading Result:
We got our back bet on over 2.5 goals at 1.86. Southend miraculously got the first goal just before the end of the first half giving odds to trade out on of 1.54. The late goal by the underdogs meant it was unlikely there would be a lot fo goals as Southend were going to lock up and defend their lead. We got out and took the small profit we had. |
Profit made on this trade = £16
|
| Date: 8th November |
| Time: 7.45pm |
| Fixture: Carling Cup |
| Teams: Birmingham v Liverpool - SCORE: 0-1 |
Our Recommendation:
Liverpool had a very high scoring game (4-3) in the last round but this will pose a stiffer task and will probably be a much tighter game. We'll be laying the draw on this match and looking to trade out after Liverpool score and take the lead. It may not be the first goal but if it is this will be a nice easy and quick one. If Birmingham, get the first we'll have to wait. This may not be a Liverpool victory but there should be a couple of goals. |
Our Trading Result:
We layed the draw on this one at 3.55. Liverpool scored on the verge of half time securing our profit on this match with a trade out backing the draw at 5.30. Nice easy profit on this one. |
Profit made on this trade = £40
|
| Date: 11th November |
| Time: 12.45pm |
| Fixture: Premiership |
| Teams: Man City v Newcastle - SCORE: 0-0 |
Our Recommendation:
We're going to take a slightly different tack on this match as these two are low scoring teams and average around 70 minutes before a goal. This should be a close low scoring match and we are going to back the draw on this one (around 3.40) and aim to trade out after 30-40 minutes as long as no goal has been scored. If a goal is scored we need to pray for an equaliser and then trade out but there is a very good chance of a clean sheet in the first half here. |
Our Trading Result:
We backed the draw at 3.40 and as expected the result at half time was 0-0. The odds for the trade out we got were 2.48 at half time and we spread the profit evenly between a draw Man City win and Newcastle win securing us £37.00 no matter what. |
Profit made on this trade = £37
|
| Date: 11th November |
| Time: 3.00pm |
| Fixture: Premiership |
| Teams: Everton v Aston Villa - SCORE: 0-1 |
Our Recommendation:
This looks like a great one for laying the draw and trading out after the first goal. Both teams have good records without no-score draws and theres no reason why they should start in this match. We'll be laying the draw around 3.40 |
Our Trading Result:
We got our lay bet on this match at 3.50. The first goal came from Aston Villa after 42 minutes and gave odds to trade out on of 3.90. Not the ideal result as it would have given more profit if Everton had scored but a profit none the less. You could have stayed in the trade and taken 100% profit. |
Profit made on this trade = £13
|
| Date: 12th November |
| Time: 1.30pm |
| Fixture: Premiership |
| Teams: Reading v Tottenham - SCORE: 3-1 |
Our Recommendation:
Reading have taken a battering lately and have lost the last 4 (albeit to top table opposition) so will be going for goals here. Tottenham have had a nice couple of results so are on form and this should mean a victory. We're laying the draw here (around 3.45) and as the odds are pretty even on the teams it shouldn't matter who scores first and we should be assured a profit. |
Our Trading Result:
We got our lay bet on this match at 3.50. Tottenham scored after just 24 minutes and secured our profit. The odds to back were 4.80 and that secured us a nice profit. We weighted our profit towards a win by either team to maximize the amount we made on this one. |
Profit made on this trade = £34
|
| Date: 15th November |
| Time: 8.00pm |
| Fixture: International |
| Teams: France v Greece - SCORE: 1-0 |
Our Recommendation:
France being at home should have a fairly easy time against Greece. The odds are very appealing on the draw on this one and being an International they are always difficult to predict a scorline on. We will be laying the draw (around 4.50) and trading out after a goal is scored by France. Should produce a nice profit here but if Greece score the first we won't get good enough odds for a profit. |
Our Trading Result:
The odds drifted a little on this one and we placed our initial lay bet at 4.90. France scored around half way through the first half and we traded out for a very healthy profit at 9.20. Easy trade and another easy profit. |
Profit made on this trade = £53
|
| Date: 17th November |
| Time: 7.45pm |
| Fixture: English Championship |
| Teams: Cardiff v QPR - SCORE: 0-1 |
Our Recommendation:
QPRs away record is not great having only won 2 matches this season and Cardiff although they've had a tough couple of games should still win this one having not lost a game at home so far. The dilemma is what type of trade to place on this one. We couldn't decide so we're having two on this match (see the next trade) the first being a lay of the draw. Neither team has played a match resulting in a 0-0 draw and being a top vs. nearly bottom clash it's highly unlikely here. Cardiff should get off the mark first and give us a nice profit. If they don't we think there will be another opportunity as 3 or more goals occur. Lay the draw (around 4.00) and trade out when Cardiff hopefully get ahead. |
Our Trading Result:
We layed the draw at 4.30. This was a horible nail biter with no goals and a total loss staring us in the face all the way till the end. Thankfully QPR bailed us out by scoring in the 88th minute. We stayed with the result will the end bagging 100% profit on this one. Lucky, but football is like that sometimes! |
Profit made on this trade = £100
|
| Date: 17th November |
| Time: 7.45pm |
| Fixture: English Championship |
| Teams: Cardiff v QPR - SCORE: 0-1 |
Our Recommendation:
The second trade on this match is concentrating on the over 2.5 goals market. We are going to back over 2.5 goals as QPR usually have high scoring games and Cardiff have also had quite a few. With the space between them in the leagues we should see a great match and plenty of opportunities from both sides. Back over 2.5 goals (around 1.91) and trade out either after the first goal if it comes fairly late in the first half or if an early goal is scored (under 15 minutes) hang in there for a second and get out then. When you trade out on this type of bet is up to you really. A lot of people like to hang in there for 2 goals regardless of when they are scored. Always remember though this is trading and we're not betting on over 2.5 goals as a definitive outcome. |
Our Trading Result:
We backed the over 2.5 goals market at 1.86. Unfortunately there were no goal until 88 minutes in when QPR scored unexpectedly. We had a total loss on this one but made a 100% profit on our other trade on this match so they cancelled each other out. Very lucky and unlucky in one trade. |
Profit made on this trade = £-100
|
| Date: 18th November |
| Time: 3.00pm |
| Fixture: Premiership |
| Teams: Everton v Bolton - SCORE: 1-0 |
Our Recommendation:
These two teams are usually involved in matches with less than 3 goals but the odds are very low which prohibits a trade on the over/under 2.5 goals market. They have not had 0-0 draws and although they usually have low scoring matches there is always a goal or two. We're going to lay the draw with a view to trading out after the first goal. We should be able to get out no matter who scored but the ideal here is for Everton to get the first as it will produce a little more profit. They should do this being at home to a team slightly higher in the league. A goal sometime in the second half should give us the best profit. |
Our Trading Result:
We layed the draw on this one at 3.35. Everton got the goal we were expecting in the second half which was perfect for us. We traded out at odds of 4.50 securing our profit. |
Profit made on this trade = £27
|
| Date: 21st November |
| Time: 7.45pm |
| Fixture: Champions League |
| Teams: Celtic v Man Utd - SCORE: 1-0 |
Our Recommendation:
This is going to be a monster of a match. It's a difficult one to predict as the expected outcome is not always what happens in a Champions League match. Both Man Utd and Celtic have been on a winning streak both home and away for ages and someone has to give here. We're laying the draw at around 3.30 on this one as there will be a winner. Man Utd will probably do the business as usual but it's not cut and dry so this seems the safest trade. There is a chance of over 2.5 goals too as most of these twos matches end up that way but with this being Champions League football we're going to stick with the safer option. |
Our Trading Result:
We layed the draw on this one at 3.25. Celtic had a shocking first half and were lucky not to be agoal down as Man Utd dominated the first half. Celtic came out fighting in the second half and scored late with a magnifient free kick giving us our trade out at 5.30 and a healthy profit. |
Profit made on this trade = £40
|
| Date: 22nd November |
| Time: 7.45pm |
| Fixture: Champions League |
| Teams: Liverpool v PSV - SCORE: 2-0 |
Our Recommendation:
This one should go Liverpools way and we're going to trade against the grain on this one. We have a feeling this will result in a few goals. PSV like to score and being away will spur them on to get ahead early while Liverpool will be looking to secure a win quickly too. This will hopefully result in a couple of goals in the first half. We are backing the over 2.5 goals market at around 2.30 and trading out after the first goal. If its really early in the match it may be worth hanging on till half time in the hope another is scored. |
Our Trading Result:
We backed over 2.5 goals on this one at 2.56. It remained 0-0 at half time unfortunately and the odds to lay at were at a massive 7.2 which was not good. Liverpool got the first goal at around 65 minutes and only gave odds of 7.00 for the trade out. Liverpool got a second at the end but unfortunately not quite enough goals fast enough for us! 100% loss for us but not a huge liability which is good. |
Profit made on this trade = £-100

| Date: 23rd November |
| Time: 7.45pm |
| Fixture: UEFA Cup |
| Teams: Feyenoord v Blackburn - SCORE: 0-0 |
Our Recommendation:
There are 4 UEFA Cup clashes with home teams tonight and all are similar odds offering a great oportunity for a lay the draw trade. The safest of the them looks like the Blackburn match as they are not a team to take a 0-0 draw. They have not won for 6 matches and being away in the cup there is a good chance they will concede a goal. Lay the draw (around 3.40) and back after the first goal which will hopefully come from Feyenoord to give maximum profit. |
Our Trading Result:
We layed the draw on this match at 3.50. Well we got this one totally wrong! There were few attempts on goal and it was a bit of a bland match. On to the next and we'll be working hard to get back the lost profit on this one. |
Profit made on this trade = £-250
|
| Date: 25th November |
| Time: 12.45pm |
| Fixture: Premiership |
| Teams: Charlton v Everton - SCORE: 1-1 |
Our Recommendation:
We are backing the draw with this match (around 3.35) and will be looking to trade out approaching half time if the match is still a draw. These teams do draw quite often and Charlton being at home and bottom of the table will be happy with a draw and a point. If a goal is scored in the first half we'll have to wait till an equaliser hopefully comes in the second half. |
Our Trading Result:
We backed the draw on this match at 3.30. Half time came and the score was still 0-0 so we traded out for a nice profit and a result as expected. The match ended in a 1-1 draw so we could have stuck in there for 100% profit as well. |
Profit made on this trade = £48
|
| Date: 25th November |
| Time: 3.00pm |
| Fixture: Premiership |
| Teams: Fulham v Reading - SCORE: 0-1 |
Our Recommendation:
We will be laying the draw (around 3.35) on this match. Of the in-play matches that are in the Premiership at 3.00pm this looks a great one to lay. The other teams are very unpredictable but we should see a goal in the first half here hopefully by Fulham to give us a nice profit. |
Our Trading Result:
We layed the draw on this match at 3.40. Reading got the first goal pretty early on in the first half and that gave us a trade out at 4.00. Another swift profit. |
Profit made on this trade = £20
|
| Date: 25th November |
| Time: 7.30pm |
| Fixture: Portuguese Superliga |
| Teams: Benfica v Maritimo - SCORE: 2-1 |
Our Recommendation:
We're going to back over 2.5 goals on this match (around 2.00) and we should see a couple of goals in the first half and we'll have the choice whether to get out on the first or second depending when they are scored. Benfica are notoriously aggressive and when at home do tend to score lots. Their opponents are also high scorers so should be a good one. |
Our Trading Result:
We backed over 2.5 goals at 2.02 on this one. Benfica scored in the first half but the odds were not very good at all. We hung in for the second goal which came from Maritimo just before half time and we got out at offs of 1.30 for a nice profit. Benfica got the third half way through the second half so those that didn't get out after the second goal received a 100% profit on this one. |
Profit made on this trade = £78
|
| Date: 26th November |
| Time: 1.30pm |
| Fixture: Premiership |
| Teams: Newcastle v Portsmouth - SCORE: 1-0 |
Our Recommendation:
It is rare that Portsmouth have a 0-0 score draw and even rarer that Newcastle win at home so this looks like a game of a goal or two. Portsmouth will be eager to get points this weekend as Chelsea and Man Utd battle at the top. We're laying the draw on this one as the odds are very favourable (around 3.40) but there is a chance that the odds after the first goal won't be great as Portsmouth could easily open the scoring. The ideal is for Newcastle to get the first and give us maximum profit. |
Our Trading Result:
We layed the draw on this one at 3.40. No goals in the first half but Newcastle scored after around 69 minutes and gave us the trade out securing our profit. |
Profit made on this trade = £45
|
| Date: 26th November |
| Time: 4.00pm |
| Fixture: Premiership |
| Teams: Man Utd v Chelsea - SCORE: 1-1 |
Our Recommendation:
A classic clash of the titans here and the odds are perfectly matched to lay the draw (around 3.15) on this match. Both teams are on fire and both are going to be looking for the win here. There WILL be a winner and no matter who scores the first goal we should get nice odds as there probably won't be too many scored in this one. |
Our Trading Result:
We got the lay on this one at 3.15. Man Utd got the first goal after just 29 minutes. We got out again with an easy profit at odds of 4.60 on this one. Chelsea equalised in the second half and cut our profit down slightly as we weighted it slightly towards a win from one of the teams but we still maintained a profit. |
Profit made on this trade = £26
|
| Date: 28th November |
| Time: 8.00pm |
| Fixture: Premiership |
| Teams: Watford v Sheff Utd - SCORE: 0-1 |
Our Recommendation:
These two teams are both struggling at the bottom of the table and the winner of this match will be greatly impoving their chances of climbing out of the relegation zone. Both will see this as an oportunity to get 3 points easily and will be gunning for goals. We should see a winner here and will be laying the draw (around 3.30) and trading out after the first goal which hopefully will come from Watford. |
Our Trading Result:
We got our lay bet on this match at 3.35. This one took a long long time but Sheffield got a goal towards the end of the second half giving us a great trade out at odds of 14.00 and a massive profit. The later the goal the higher the prize! A little lucky on this one but around 20% of goals come in the last 10 minutes of matches! |
Profit made on this trade = £81
|
| Date: 29th November |
| Time: 8.00pm |
| Fixture: Premiership |
| Teams: Man Utd v Everton - SCORE: 3-0 |
Our Recommendation:
Facing Man Utd is never a nice thought and when you are away to them it's even nastier. There are a couple of ways to trade on this. The riskiest one financially is laying the draw but Man Utd are unbeaten at home and none of their matches this season have ended in 0-0 draws. The odds are around 5.50 so you'd have a high liability on this one and the only danger is a goal by Everton first. Saying that, this is the trade we are recommending and we'll be looking to get out after a home goal which may not be quick but is almost certain to happen. If this is too much liability for you we're recommending you back under 2.5 goals and look to get out of the trade around 30 minutes or if a goal has been scored around half way through the second half. It's not likely we will see more than 2 goals on this match as both are fairly low scoring teams. |
Our Trading Result:
We got our lay bet on this one at 5.80. Man Utd scored just before half time and we got out with odds of 9.00 giving us a nice profit. We wighted all the profit towards a win and £0 on the draw. For those that did the under 2.5 goals trade you had 2 oportunities to get out at odds of around 1.30-1.40 and a profit of around £40 on that one too. |
