Win money, Lose Friends

[Rodeneal]

It's a fact that a very small percentage of Premiership and Championship games end up nil nil.

So the idea is that you, simply, bet on nil nil and cash out at around 25 minutes. Occasionally, there is a very quick goal and you will lose.

Whilst this very basic system works. Don’t use it when you meet your buddies down the pub to watch said match! They can get , rather annoyed, because you are watching your phone, the amount you can cash out, the match and not paying attention to them! (Especially, if it is your round)

It is easier to use this, really basic system, with an online bookie as opposed to an exchange, at home when you have nothing better to do.

I don't go to pubs with covid lurking around.
The 0-0 however is 1 out of 29 or something like that.
I sort of don't like this. Reminds me of a friend who wanted to cash out Germany against Guatemala back in 2006, thinking Guatemala could last 25 minutes. But the Germans were 2-0 ahead after 5 minutes of play and the bet was lost.

Last night, I successfully used this system whilst watching the Brighton vs Pompey game. Not quite 40% return on my stake.

However, I cashed out after 20 minutes, instead of the bench mark 25 minutes. The reason is quite simple, I was hungry so went out for a pizza.

I don't understand your logic there Rodeneal You can generally get better odds on the exchange for 0-0 than any bookie would offer.
I am beginning to think you have an agenda on this forum or perhaps you don't like change.....

Had to laugh when I read this. Last night I did indeed bet on an exchange. Not only did I make a bit of a turn, I got a free bet.

I got a free bet

Now I am really confused. How much commission did you pay? 8%?

will get back to you on that, I didn't check.

As I mentioned earlier I was hungry so I cashed out earlier than normal and went for a pizza. Also, I should have said "Exchange Bonus" not "Free Bet". I do use exchanges, maybe less often than I should.

You do raise an interesting point though. Has anybody else noticed Betfair pushing their exchange?

Used to try something similar, wait for 10-15 minutes and back +0.5 goals in play. Skinny odds but was trying to do it £10 to £100 accumulator roll up type bet. Wasn't really worth the effort and didn't persevere with it. The theory sounds good in practice but when you start putting the money on you'll be surprised how many 0-0s you hit!

Oh, I get it now. When you say Betfair you mean the bookie side of things - Sportsbook.
Betfair WAS the exchange.......it's being infiltrated by the enemy....lol

Over the last few weeks I have tweaked the Win Money, Lose Friends system. Instead of holding out for 25 minutes, I simply add an auto cash out to the bet. Normally, 20% of the stake.

Obviously, the higher the odds on the result being nil nil the quicker you are going get your stake back.

As a rule of thumb I tend to go for 15 to 1 or higher, on the match result being nil nil.

I think a little under 20% of goals are scored in the first 20 minutes.
First goal times were getting a bit earlier, but I haven't researched lately- covid and lack of crowds may have totally messed with that along with everything else.
Hopefully it's temporary!
