Amazing results from Psychoff's scalpy bot - his Twitter feed is always very interesting to read and in a recent Tweet he wrote of it:
:Scalpy trades in the under and CS markets. If the score is 1-0, then it trades in under 1,5 and CS 1-0"
What do people think this involves - is this something like arbing between these two markets as time decays? Or using one of the markets as a hedge against a goal being scored while a back bet is open in the other market? First of these two options seems more likely?

Before he made that tweet I had suspected he was doing something similar. He also answered one of my questions with 'Scalpy has a unique algoritm which comes from my 12-years experience in soccer inplay markets.' So he is not simply backing under 1.5 when the score is 1-0.max_usted wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2017 2:47 pmAmazing results from Psychoff's scalpy bot - his Twitter feed is always very interesting to read and in a recent Tweet he wrote of it:

i think there's a crossover point that yields a small but consistent edge where you lay the CS score (on 1-0) and back the over 1.5 market by some multiple. only access to the live data would really allow you to make this decision point with any real success as the odds on both markets will have to *align* to make this happen. that said, there is a risk that there would be no change and both markets would run against you, so it's definitely a subtle trade.deansaccount wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2017 3:04 pmBefore he made that tweet I had suspected he was doing something similar.

He also posts the trades and I think that he must be laying in both the Unders and CS markets at some points. For instance, there's a few trades when he gets full return of his stake (profit) in both the u1.5 market and CS market when the score in the game was 4-2 or 7-1.
Guess it's unfair to pry too much but just interested in what his approach is as I never trade using CS markets with others simultaneously.
it's certainly genius to be able to lay the u1.5 and get the full stake returned when the final result is such an outlandish score. mind now whirring!!max_usted wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2017 10:40 amHmm interesting.jimibt wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2017 3:09 pmi think there's a crossover point that yields a small but consistent edge where you lay the CS score (on 1-0) and back the over 1.5 market by some multiple. only access to the live data would really allow you to make this decision point with any real success as the odds on both markets will have to *align* to make this happen. that said, there is a risk that there would be no change and both markets would run against you, so it's definitely a subtle trade.deansaccount wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2017 3:04 pm

If you think about it, if the score is currently 1-0, then trading CS 1-0 and U1.5 is exactly the same thing. Backing either results in a loss if a goal goes in, or a win if there are no goals, and vice versa for laying. The prices should be identical. Often the prices might be slightly difference, but rarely (if ever) would there be a opportunity for arbitrage. You would pick one market over the other if either it gave you better odds or there was more liquidity, but aside from that, they are identical if there has been 1 goal already.max_usted wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2017 2:47 pmAmazing results from Psychoff's scalpy bot - his Twitter feed is always very interesting to read and in a recent Tweet he wrote of it:

I expect Psychoff is just trading these markets using a signal for whether there is going to be another goal soon or not. If there is a signal for a goal soon, then lay. You pay a premium as the time decays with no goal, but win if a goal goes in. If there's a signal for no goal, then you back, gain profit slowly due to time decay, and then trade out if the signal switches to a potential goal coming.
As for how he gets his signals, I think he probably has live match data for things like shots on goal, corners, possession, etc... then feeds that into an algorithm to determine if a goal is more or less likely than the market is implying.
As an insider, I can tell : you have BINGO my friend!

He is probably using a piece of automated software (i wont name it)
This site gives you live inplay soccer stats on everything you can think of.
Obviously its not the holy grail but it can give you certain market edges.

Stay simple because he is soccer master..costum algoritm and he have a computer programmer partner.BetScalper wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2017 9:04 pmHe is probably using a piece of automated software (i wont name it)

Wow interesting - just wondering if anyone would be able to give a few tips on the best source for live/in-play football data, and what the price would normally be? Is it only/normally available through providers such as https://www.stats.com/??

I noticed his bot made a loss for July, which is odd as it performed well the previous month, but I guess the leagues need to get started and settle down a little.

Think he mainly does manual trading that £65K isn't from his bot, still decent figures though, at least Betfair will have a decent xmas party with all our PC charges for doing f all

I'm pretty sure he said somewhere on twitter that 'scalpy' was being mothballed for now because he couldnt replicate the results and the system was starting to suffer losses.
Pretty sure the P&L he posted would be manual trading.
