Not the biggest turnover Golf tournament on the calendar from a matched bet turnover perspective, but the nearest one to home!
So this week, I’ve been popping back and forth to Wentworth to keep an eye on proceedings in the morning. It’s not too far from me so I can do the school run and then divert up the M3 to the golf course.
I nipped along for the first time on Wednesday for the Pro-AM day. I used the day …
Despite no football matches being on, there is still gold in them thar hills! The next Everton manager market is looking like providing a nice post season boost to my footy results.
Currently we have had six potential managers trading at odds of 4.00 or lower and there still seems to be a fair amount of uncertainty as to who could be the anointed one. Anybody who has been on my course should have been active on this market and should …
Nipped onto the Betfair site this afternoon to sort out some things on my account only to be re-directed to the sportsbook again, sigh.
I was greeted by a re-designed sportsbook page with the words ‘Cash out – BETA’ appearing right in front of me. It appears this is a new function and replaces the link to the exchange saying ‘cash out – you need to use the exchange’. Anybody visiting the home page would be hard pressed now to …
I slipped this video into the section on automation last weekend, but I reckon a few people would have missed it; because I didn’t specifically highlight it.
This video demonstrates how to create a rule using Guardian automation to capture favourable odds that can be created when the market goes a bit ‘loopy’. It’s a rule that can run in the background automatically regardless of what you are doing in your main trading interface.
We have a thread on the …
The football season is pretty much over, but the fun and games are not it seems. With a few things to be decided in Italy there is still time for some unusual odds, volume and perhaps results? I have attached an image for posterity. At 09:00 this morning the matched bet volume on Verona vs Empoli was the leading traded volume on the football for the entire day for all matches!
Novara vs Lanciano – £15k matched, £11k on the …
Nice looking card today with Newbury, York and Newmarket then Aintree in the evening. So I’m rubbing my hands at the prospect of some more action today.
The better quality racing has been quite good this week, the other stuff in-between not so great. But I’ve managed to pull out the odd decent result while avoiding the worst of things. It’s noticeable recently though, particularly since mid April, that trying to get an order filled on the weaker betting markets …
After a successful Chester meeting last week we roll onto York for the Dante meeting this week.
The York card looks OK but the other stuff on the card today looks a little ‘testing’. I’ve never managed to consistently pull out any big totals from this York meeting in the past but I approach each market with a fresh set of eyes, so you never know.
As we move through the early part of the flat turf season the early …
A statement from Racing Victoria this morning seems to up the ante of fees generated from bookmakers, any higher and you would think it would make sense for them to buy a bookmaker rather than going through the hassle of collecting it from them.
Despite seeing $44m, an increase of 25%, in the amount they are getting for racing, it seems that’s not enough so they are upping the rates again. It seems a dangerous tactic, but as with these …

Today’s crop of dodgy football matches

May day is pay day for me, on a number of football markets. Season long bets mature and pay out months of hard work.
Relegation and promotion markets are something I play in each year and they can be quite fertile territory, if you have the patience.
Where to look
The new manager effect is a well understood phenomena in football. The old manager is given the boot and existing players suddenly have somebody new to impress. It’s a little …
Creating a ‘fat finger’ rule with Bet Angel automation

Using Bet Angel’s Basic automation
Let’s imagine we want to bet on a runner that looks like it will win. For example, we may have noted in certain types of races that the first runner to dip below 1.4 generally goes on to win. We can ask Bet Angel to place a BACK bet using the Back Automation Rule:
If current odds >=1.01 and odds <=1.4 and WOM<=100% Place at 1.01
This is saying if the price of the runner reaches anywhere between 1.01 and …
How to automate your Betting or Trading
Bet Angel has many exciting features but none more interesting than that of automation. Automation offers the tantalising promise of unattended and automatic trading that free you up to trade on other markets while it works its magic in the background or do something else – like go to work, or play some golf!
But seriously, putting the Excel streadsheet integration to one side, Bet Angel also has key two automation areas. When you start Bet Angel there is an …
The European clay court season is in full flow now and Rafael Nadal lifted his 40th career title on clay and 5th title this year at the Madrid Masters. On the women’s side Serena Williams successfully defended her Madrid Open title and kept her world #1 status in defeating Maria Sharapova. This was despite a massive scare in the quarter finals. We now move to Rome for the ‘International BNL d’Italia’ which will be the last tournament before Roland Garros.

Nadal scrapes through in Monte Carlo
Rafael Nadal prepared for his assault on the French Open by narrowly beating unfancied Russian Grigor Dimitrov today.
I love matches like this because, unless you are a value seeker, there isn’t much point in backing somebody, Nadal, at such short odds. So much risk and so little reward. So you inevitably end up laying the red hot favourite or backing the rank outsider.
Dimitrov lost, 2-6, 6-2, 4-6, Nadal using the ninth game effect to push for a break …
The semi final went pretty much the way we expected. Gasquet put up a lot of resistance but Murray eventually won out. It may for a nice trading set up, you can see the charts here.
No Tennis match can have a certain outcome but the case for a Murray win against Ferrer looks compelling and this will set up Murray in prime position for a massive seedings boost.
Ferrer has the better of Murray 4-0 on Clay, …
