OK, just tried it again on Bolton v Spurs

£100 layed at 3.75 draw (£275 liability)

£25 0-0 draw at 13

Bolton score after 35mins, but the draw only goes out to 3.9
£96.15 at 3.9 =

£3.66 profit after commission
£25 Correct Score loss

£21.34 Loss

As we saw last night, it's a good bet if the favourite scores first, but not so good if they go 1-0 down

With a LTD strategy it all comes down to the favourite scoring first. It it does, money in! If it doesn't... big trouble, you're basically gambling from that point on.

It would be GREAT, AWESOME, TERRIBLE, INCREDIBLE, MAGNIFICENT if Soccer Mystic included a database such as the one mentioned and we could back-test tactics.

I could pay whatever asked for that kind of program, really... Have BetAngel thought about that possibility knowing they have the data? (or that at least they can have it, hehe!).

Cheers!

Unfortunately Betfair charge vendors for using their historical data so an annual Bet Angel subscription wouldn't even cover a couple of weekends worth of data. You can always visit http://data.betfair.com where a fair amount of data is available for free but it is not linear in format.
