Over / Under 10.5 goals

You don’t see that market very often, but you did last night. What a remarkable match, Aston Villa 6 Blackburn 4! At 0-2 down Villa were matched in volume at 10′s, this match was a trading bonanza! The market was just slightly out on this one forecasting just 2.60 goals. Excluding specifics of the match itself, I can only find three 6-4′s in my recent detailed database of 10,189 matches. So its around at least a 3400-1 shot. Great entertainment anyhow. I think Milner should go to South Africa for the world cup next year. Every tournament needs some energetic new blood that the other countries won’t know much about, I think Milner fits the bill.
I had several emails of some spectacular totals from this match, much better than my efforts, I hope you did well also.

The impact on the market has been immediate, with the price on Blackburn drifting throughout the day. I guess this will continue unless the match is called off. I’m not particularly keen on making money on somebodies misfortune so I will duck out on this one.
While most Football markets are pretty stable things like, injuries, weather and illness can have a profound affect on the pre-match market. I’ve seen lots of similar things in the past. Probably the most notorious was when the Spurs fell ill against West Ham a few seasons ago. They need a win to qualify for the champions league, but with a lot of the team out of action, it didn’t happen.
Have a look at the graph from that match as a comparison with today. A very curious lay of 25k just before the drift really started!
