Racing Testing LabI wrote an article for my eletter on this subject, focussing on Banker Bets and showing you how we can profit from them.
I’ll list some apparent “bankers” in this post, and time permitting, will try to do this daily. I try to look for 1.1 odds or higher. The goal is to win back your initial stake and bank that immediately, then play on, banking profits every £10 or so.
This is not a strategy where I’m trying to create the biggest odds returns. I want a “banker”, a bet which is obvious.
Bankers and Blowouts – the mini-DRT angle.
www.drt.club is my trading service where I do all of my football research. I have noticed that these bankers, whilst sometimes frustrating us with score draws and throwing away 2-0 leads, rarely lose matches. How can you profit? Well are you familiar with football trading? That is, reacting to how a match unfolds in-play? If you are then you would have taken on faith the fact that these bankers rarely lose, and layed Dundee in play , when they were 1-3 up to bankers Aberdeen. Final score ( as you see below), 3-3. How about more frustrating bar stewards like Club Brugge the other day against Mechelen.
Staying with our premis that Bankers rarely lose, what could you have done if Mechelen ( as they did) take the lead? Lay Mechelen! Better yet, what if the match was still 0-1 coming to 90 minutes? Lay Mechelen at lower odds for potentially greater profit! You know what happened next, I am sure. Club Brugge equalised in the 90th minute.
I have already mentioned the idea of laying a team 2-0 up, to lock in profit. Consider the above elements too , in order to maximise the premis that Bankers rarely lose.
Yesterday
Cameroon won 1-0, Germany drew 2-2 ( I told you them pesky Germans take their foot off the gas in friendlies), Scotland won 1-0 and Georgia won 2-0. Swaziland v South Africa was 0-0 at halftime, 1-3 at fulltime, so from a trading perspective, in-play betting, these were excellent matches .
Looking back, South Africa was the value here having already beaten Swaziland 0-3 in a recent friendly so I missed a trick there.
Today, my shortlist includes Oman, Colombia, France U19, Spain u21, Republic of Ireland u21, Ivory Coast, Sweden u19, Lyngby, Chile, and as ever, I must prioritise research for members of www.drt.club and then I will be in a position to make up my mind. I’ll see if there are any matches which meet my formula ( clean sheets and scoring for the favs, failure to score and conceding readily for the underdogs).
Expect an update soon.
