Clint - football trade

[1980hodgy]

Does anyone on here trade football matches using this well know strategy?

Ive been trialing it for a while with mixed results, im struggling to know what to do when the match starts to go against you i.e. 0-0 late on or even 1-0

can anyone help a newbie?

The strategy has weaknesses which cannot be overcome by making endless numbers of bets covering all eventualities. You have learned this the hard way. Now, try to make your own strategy for success and stop giving First Aid to the terminally ill ones.

Hi H,

sounds like you're struggling with when to give up on the trade and take the dreaded loss. Have you tried using one of the models devised for determining prices on the football markets given certain criteria (time, score, etc.)? You can see when the price starts to change significantly. Many choose to exit at this point.

Perhaps Westeners telephone application would help,

cheers, MC

BACK OVER 2..5 £55
BACK 1-1 £5
BACK UNDER 1. 5 £10

I believe this is something like the clint strategy. It would appear you are struggling with the nuance’s of this ill thought out betting method.

Bin it, get your money back if you paid for it.

Sit down clear your head of making wizard moves to profit and do the maths. Using the above stakes £15 on over 2.5 is the same bet and a lot easier to manage.
The Clint is bullshit........

I couldn't have explained the "nuance" better myself.

I would hardly say its a well known strategy. I think a few months ago, 'Bingo' and his pals were sitting around and one of them said "ok, here's one.
"That's great" they said, "but what on earth can we call it ?"
Then some idiot said "CLINT".

Could it have been a spelling mistake or just poor eyesight ?

yeah maybe someone passed him a bit of paper and he thought it said "clint"

westeners telephone app? where can I get that?

Im ok with giving up on the trades and taking losses, its part of trading.
With the above strategy it seems that if no goals are scored in the first half then the prices seem too high to even trade the game to reduce the liabilities

the point of backing the under 1.5 goals and 1-1 market is that you can increase stakes in either market depending on the score.

anyway thanks for replying, looks like its back to the drawing board

thanks for the reply I think Ive answered my own question with the clint strategy as discussed.

I'm still new to trading and wanted to start somewhere, have you any advise on where to start? any easier strategy's to look at?

Keep it simple

Discipline (it's more about not losing money than winning it)

Use small stakes until you know what you are doing

Set a deposit limit of £10 a week on your BF account. If you are still making deposits after 12 months give up.

If you can turn £10 into £100 and then into £1000 and then £10,000 you are doing ok.

If you can't... then you only lost £10's not £1000's

Strategy:

Don't pay for anything - if it's for sale it doesn't work...

Work it out for yourself by trading 1000's of markets with small stakes.

Cran has answered for me. Pay for the software you use but do not be tempted to pay for anything else.
