Apologies for no recent updates to the blog. Christmas break, winter sun holiday, dangerous jellyfish stings... and we are back with some more in-play strategies. On the bright side, Pre Kick Off Trading pack is coming closer and closer and is going to be a real cracker! 
Today something a bit different and maybe a bit more risky, but also very profitable in the same time...



 
Those big matches

You may remember a strategy for those big clashes that uses Match Odds markets. However, there are usually some good trading opportunities on Correct Score markets. But which scores are we looking for?

2-1 and 1-2 

Matches between MU, MC, Chelsea and Arsenal... Barca and Real... If you check the stats for those clashes, you will very often see that they are producing some goals. And I'm not saying that most matches end up 2-1 or 1-2. They don't have to to profit from trading those score lines... 

 
The method 

This strategy gives you plenty of different possibilities in terms of timing of buying your scores and laying them off. It will very often depend on your analysis, feeling, luck and course of the game. 

The main principle is to BACK either 2-1 or 1-2 and hedge it after a goal comes in... 

Obviously you can buy both 2-1 and 1-2, you can do it before the match or in the 10/20th minute. You can hedge it off after a team goes 1-0 or wait for an equalizer... Or maybe leave a free bet to hedge as the score is 2-1... Loads of different possibilities.

 
Odds ranges and movements

Odds for 2-1 and 1-2 will be dependent on Match Odds of the teams involved. However, you will be looking at anything in the range of 10-13 for 2-1 and 11-14 for 1-2. 
   
A goal in the first 20 minutes of a match will result a drop in odds to about 8-9 and further shortening for next several minutes. An equalizer will can bring it down to 4-6, but it will depend on the minute of a goal as well. 
As you like really...


There is also some other interesting thing about this method... If you BACKED 2-1 and home teams was a favourite, and the away teams scored for 0-1, the odds for 2-1 would very often drop also... and then even lower, when home side equalize!
 
Example
  
Remember a match between Chelsea and Manchester City few weeks ago? 



Chelsea in a good form, City firing goals.

Goals, goals... that's what we need...

Now 2-1, 1-2 or maybe both? Impressed with the way City played recently, some tasty odds for 1-2... (13.5)



Confident prediction from one of the sites with stats and predictions. 


Quick BACK 1-2 @ 13.5 and hedge after couple of minutes as MC scored in the 2nd minute of the game...



Profit taken... no matter the final score, which was 2-1 to Chelsea... 
There were some other options that could result in an even bigger profit, however don't get greedy... It might have ended 0-1... what then? 

 
When it doesn't rain goals...

"Ok I've got 2-1 and 1-2, before the game, it's HT now and the score is 0-0. What's now?"

It will happen. You may want to cut your losses at HT Key to the success? You already know it... research, money management and discipline! Get it more time right than wrong and you will give your bank account a kick. 

But...
 
There is also another way of approaching this method...

BACK 2-1, 1-2 or both of them + BACK Under 2.5 goals as an insurance bet. 

It's an interesting approach, which can give you some more options for trading. I will cover some of the trading multiple markets strategies on a different occasion. 


Concluding, this correct score trading strategy may be worth checking out, especially that it has plenty of different possibilities in terms of picking your scores, odds and time for trading. Best of luck!
