In-play trading as good as it gets! Check out this strategy and you will treasure it. On of my favourites methods methods for In-play, which involves trading on two different markets and gives you plenty different opportunities to take your profits whenever you feel like it.



Clever score strategy is a low risk method, which covers many different scores in a football match and gives you flexibility of approach to an individual football match. Let's see the method below:

 
The method: 
  
  • Choose a football match with a clear favourite with odds about 1.3-1.6
  • Go to Under 2.5 goals market and make sure the odds are above 2.50
  • Go to Correct Score market and look for scores 3-0 and 2-1 to the favourite
  • Choose your stakes to BACK Under 2.5 goals and scores 3-0 and 2-1.


Please note, that for this strategy you don't want a favourite that is in a deadly form. In other words, you don't want them to score 2 or 3 goals very early in the match. Have a look at the example below:

 
Example:

Premier League: Chelsea vs Bolton (25.02.2012)
 
 
Analysis

Recent Form 
 


Chelsea had a terrible run winning none out of their 5 matches. And they scored only once 3 goals in those matches. It looks like they will have to find their form in this match, as AVB is under a big pressure.
What about Bolton? Nothing special, however they managed to get a goalless draw at home against Arsenal couple of weeks back. They will surely give Chelsea a good game, as they need to fight in order to avoid relegation. 
 
Premier League Home/Away form
 

Just to give us in idea of how both teams are performing in the Premier League, Chelsea at home and Bolton away. Nothing to be concerned about here.
 
 
H2H

There were some high scoring matches between these two teams in the recent past. However, it's interesting that last 2 games in London finished only 1-0 to Chelsea. 


Preview

As mentioned before, Chelsea have simply to win this match. They had some injury concerns before the kick off, but positive team news and strong line up brought the odds even below 1.30.  



Action 
 

BACK Under 2.5 goals for £10 @ 2.66
BACK 2-1 @ 12 for £4 
BACK 3-0 @ 8.8 for £6
 
Or keep it in a ratio of 5:2:3 units.

  

 



 
The possibilities:
 
These seem to be endless for this strategy... Think what score lines and scenarios we have covered:

  • scores 0-0, 1-0, 0-1, 1-1, 2-0 and 0-2 for Under 2.5 goals
  • 2-1 and 3-0 in the Correct Score market
This can lead to some very interesting possibilities to hedge your bets as the match develops. 

For example a goal for Bolton and Chelsea chasing the game leaves a great profit opportunity form 2-1 score line. 
Chelsea's easy win...? 1-0, 2-0, 3-0... hedge the 3-0.
Or what about the 2-0 to Chelsea some time in the 70th minute? Under 2.5 to hedge, 2-1 to hedge or leave, 3-0 still possible and around 3.5... 

Or just simply hedge everything at Half-Time while 0-0 as it was in this case:

 


Took a loss from the correct score market...



But profit from under 2.5 goals was still greater and resulted in above 30% profit of the total stake all together. 

However, the match finished 3-0...

Let's see the profit potential after each of Chelsea's goals or if we left our bets without hedging them off: 
 


Your choice when you want to close your trades. 

 
Dangers

Goals in the first half... obviously. People will expect loads of more goals if there are some quick goals in the first half and therefore odds for he following positions won't fall as low as expected. 

But there is an app for it...Try make it work with Under 3.5 goals or 4-0, 4-1 score lines. Plenty possibilities here. And make sure you select your matches carefully and stick to your money management principles.

 
Feel free to modify this method, choosing different stake ratios or different score lines. Choose your matches carefully and enjoy this fabulous strategy!
