Busy, busy, busy..

With the end of the turf evening racing you would think things would have quietened up a bit. But no, first the US Open Tennis and then this week loads and loads of football. I’m expecting this month to be a little quieter than late, but I did surprise myself last week with my second biggest one day total of the year.
Both the Champions league and Europa league are quite nice markets to get involved in. Plenty of different types of matches, goals and loads of matches in quick succession. In the case of the Europa league, the matches are generally split into two evening sessions. That gives you plenty of matches to play in and if the first batch don’t work out too well, another will be along in a minute.
I’m using this busy period to run a number of tests and sample strategies. The thing you notice is how quickly things even out when there are so many matches, so now is a good time to be active. You can employ a number of different strategies on different markets at the same time and where one will fail, another will make up the difference. Its a good ground for experimentation.
If you are active across many markets at once, then it’s worth you checking out how to use Guardian, our multi market feature. This contains specific tools for football markets, here are a couple of videos demonstrating its use: -

Champions league trading

Porto vs. Arsenal
Priced at a lowly 2.30 goals, this is fairly typical construction for a match of this type. Porto are priced as having a slight edge but only just. The market is pretty much spot on in terms of pricing.
B.Munich vs. Fiorentina
A less competitive clash according to the market. Priced at 2.90 with Munich having a 1.30 goal advantage. Under 2.50 goals offers long term value, I would have priced at 2.14 vs. 2.22 in the market.
League football is where I perform best and where I have most of my data, so I am always quite likely to build a lot more margin of safety into these matches. I suggest you do the same. First legs of the knockout round in this competition tend to be dominated by teams playing safe for the first leg and trying to sneak a goal. Home teams are usually desperate not to concede an away goal. We didn’t see that last night in Italy where Man Utd are in a dominant position for the return leg. When I saw the odds for the match I didn’t really believe that they were so favourble for a Man Utd win, but the market was right.
Don’t forget that in these big games it is quite easy to trade before the off. There is so much money passing through the markets that you can trade quite casually and still manage to get a positive result. When you have done that, you will have some free cash to throw at an outside chance in-play. A good tactic even if you are not into football much. Little risk, plenty of upside.

Champions league is back – Inter vs Man Utd
Posted by Peter Webb in Bet Angel on February 24th, 2009
Tonight sees the resumption of the champions league with the intriguing match of Inter vs Man Utd.
Mixed signals are coming out of both camps about how they will play. Mourinho suggesting defence will be key, Ferguson hinting that won’t be the case. I doubt either are likely to tell you exactly what they are thinking.
The market is thinking about a draw. The goal forecast from the market is for 2.20 goals on average with a slight edge to Inter. Looking at my stats I reckon Man Utd are a little too short in the market. Fair value should be around 3.05-3.35. Under 2.5 goals should be around 1.56 for a match with these characteristics, so that looks long term value.
If you are interested in how I view this match and the most sensible way to trade it, view the following video. The following video was made using Soccer Mystic. Soccer Mystic is free when you sign up to Bet Angel.

For some time now Bet Angel users have been uploading trading videos to You Tube. One of the earlier videos has now had nearly 17,000 views.
Late last year we thought it would be a good idea to group them together into one area for you, so we set up a channel at http://www.youtube.com/betangeltv. We have also been uploading videos of our own for your referance.You tube can be a bit of a challenge as the video image is so small so we have replicated the videos on our site at higher resolution.
If you have any videos you would like us to add to the channel just drop support a note and we will add you in. In the meantime you can visit the channel at the link mentioned in this post.
