Trading on soccer matches, what's the fuss about?

Would you like to win money in soccer regardless of who wins a match or who scores first? Read on...

Trading on soccer matches is all about achieving a profit at the lowest possible risk. In the days before betting exchanges people used to just attempt to predict a result on a soccer match and go to a bookmaker to place a bet. "I think Real Madrid will win" and therefore the bet was placed. Perhaps the backer would go further and place a bet on the correct score. Peter Webb speaking in Barcelona

When betting exchanges arrived on the scene, they changed the landscape completely. By using an exchange people could now bet against a team winning or a correct score. The bookmakers where unhappy, they had always been the only layers in the market and now, suddenly, there were thousands.

Bookmakers called foul and said that the ability to lay, the ability to bet on somebody to lose, was encouraging corruption in sport. In reality the ability to lay had always been omnipresent in sport and via bookmakers, all you needed to do was back the other outcomes! The real reason for this outrage was that traditional Bookmakers had become fat and lazy and their margins were high and products stale. Perhaps if they had innovated Soccer Mystics unique price predicter module themselves they wouldn't have found themselves haemorrhaging customers. Nobody, however, including the exchanges themselves, could have predicted what would follow.

As volumes grew on exchanges the overound percent, the 'margin' paid to the market makers shrank to tiny percentages. Bookmakers who would have, in the past, expected to quote a book with up to 10-15% margin would be lucky to get 0.4%. The effect of practically zero margin in quoted prices meant finding an edge, making money, was a lot easier. With so little margin priced in it was possible to not lose too much money even with just guesswork. Exchanges bought other significant benefits though. You could now trade, take advantage of the movement of odds not just on the outcome of a match. A first this takes a little understanding but once you understand the concept of trading you often reach a 'Eureka' moment. Being able to win regardless of the result of the match and lose but still not lose has obviously benefits. Soccer Mystic has been specially designed to take your trading capabilities to brand new levels.
