Send us Fan MailWhat do you do when a football trading strategy keeps losing?In this podcast, I take a Lay The Away Team strategy, backtest it properly, and find out that the numbers just do not stack up.But instead of stopping there...I flipped the idea.Rather than laying the away team, I tested backing the away team instead.And that changed everything.In this episode, we look at: How the original Lay Away Team strategy performed  Why the backtest showed it was not worth trading  What happened when I reversed the idea  The profit and ROI from backing the away team  Strike rate and average odds  Winning and losing runs  Which filters made the biggest difference  Whether the new version is worth forward testing This is exactly why backtesting matters.Sometimes it saves you from trading a bad strategy.And sometimes a losing idea points you towards a much better one.If you want to test your own football trading strategies before risking real money, check out the Betfair Trading Community football backtesting software.Support the showSign up here: https://checkout.lightspeedstats.com/lightspeed-stats-football-stats/Twitter: @BetfairTCWebsite: https://betfairtradingcommunity.com/en/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/betfairtradingcommunity

Send us Fan MailWhat happens if you back Over 3.5 Goals on every single football match?No filters.No league selection.No trying to find the obvious goal-heavy games.Just blindly back four or more goals every time and see what happens.In this podcast, I test exactly that across two full years of football data.We look at: The overall profit and loss  The strike rate  The average odds  The longest winning and losing runs  Which leagues performed best  Which leagues performed worst  Whether a few simple filters could improve the results Over 3.5 Goals is an interesting market because you get bigger prices than Over 2.5...But obviously you need more to go right.So does that extra price make up for the lower strike rate?Or does blindly backing four goals just slowly chew through your bank?That is what we find out.If you want to test your own football trading ideas before risking real money, check out the Betfair Trading Community football backtesting software.Support the showSign up here: https://checkout.lightspeedstats.com/lightspeed-stats-football-stats/Twitter: @BetfairTCWebsite: https://betfairtradingcommunity.com/en/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/betfairtradingcommunity

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I’m breaking down the positives and negatives of an Over 2.5 Goals strategy on Betfair.On the surface, it looks like one of the simplest football strategies out there.You just need three goals.Doesn’t matter who scores them. Doesn’t matter who wins. A 2-1, 3-0 or even 4-4 all do the job.But simple doesn’t necessarily mean profitable.I’ll look at:Why Over 2.5 Goals is such an easy market to understandWhy there are so many potential qualifiersThe stats I’d actually testWhy “high-scoring teams” isn’t automatically an edgeThe problem with lower strike rates and losing runsWhy the price you’re taking matters more than simply predicting goalsHow I’d start backtesting an Over 2.5 strategy from scratchThe big question isn’t:“Will this match have three goals?”It’s:“Is the chance of three goals higher than the odds suggest?”That’s where things get interesting.Support the showSign up here: https://checkout.lightspeedstats.com/lightspeed-stats-football-stats/Twitter: @BetfairTCWebsite: https://betfairtradingcommunity.com/en/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/betfairtradingcommunity

Send us Fan MailCan an Under 1.5 Goals strategy really be profitable on Betfair?In this podcast, I go deep into one profitable Under 1.5 Goals strategy and break down exactly what makes it work.This is not just a quick look at the headline profit.We dig into: The exact strategy rules  The strike rate  Average odds  Overall profit and ROI  Winning and losing runs  Which leagues performed best  Which filters made the biggest difference  How consistent the results were  Whether I would actually forward test it Under 1.5 Goals can be a difficult market.You only get one goal of breathing room, so getting the match selection and price right matters massively.That is why backtesting is so important.Instead of guessing which matches “look low scoring”, you can test the rules across years of football data and see whether there is actually an edge.If you want to test your own football trading strategies before risking real money, check out the Betfair Trading Community football backtesting software.https://checkout.lightspeedstats.com/lightspeed-stats-football-stats/Support the showSign up here: https://checkout.lightspeedstats.com/lightspeed-stats-football-stats/Twitter: @BetfairTCWebsite: https://betfairtradingcommunity.com/en/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/betfairtradingcommunity
