LAY 0-0 HALF-TIME SCORE is one of the easiest football in-play trading strategies as it doesn’t involve hedging (cashing out) as the next goal means a return of full profit. However, you can always incorporate the stop loss, if you see that the game is very dull and teams don’t look like changing the score. It’s necessary to have a good strike rate at fairly low odds to make it work in the long run. The odds change very quickly, so you can use drip lay to get better odds.

RULES

1. LAY 0-0 HT Score market or back over 0.5 goals on Over/Under First Half Goals market.

We advise you to spread your stake into two parts and Lay 0-0 @ 2.50 and when the price steams to 2.00. The first trade should get matched around the 10-15th min mark, whilst the second one usually reaches Evens just after the 20th min mark. The timing and odds will differ and depend on starting odds and actions on the pitch.

2. You will receive the full profit when a goal is scored. // Alternatively, you can take a loss, if there are no goals and you reach your stop loss level, or let your bet run.

3. Move on to the next trade.

Don’t get us wrong – our systems are based on sophisticated statistical algorithms and we are pleased with the results, so you can trade and bet on them without any further analysis. However, it’s always possible to improve the selections further to increase your winning rate and profits. Sadly this can’t be done automatically, so we will try to give you further advice on how to shortlist the best selections and how to avoid some lost trades.

Consider the following for your Lay 0-0 HT score trades and bets:

• Look for competitive matches with teams or one team still having something to play for (e.g. title, relegation, progression etc.)
• Check the selections for major injuries or key players missing the game. You will need at least one goal to hedge your trade, so you don’t want those star strikers to be missing that game.
• Check the weather conditions – you don’t want the game to be played in very heavy rain, snow or very strong wind.
• Pitch condition – as above, very bad pitches (waterlogged, covered in snow, muddy) are tricky to play on and can often prevent goals to be scored and finishing goalless.
• Check the market and odds comparison websites for the odds for the draw. Stay alarmed, if those are heavily steaming and there is plenty of money backing the draw.

Please note:

• All current selections are available for members only.
• You can filter Major (1) and Minor (0) leagues and competitions by the M. field.
• We don’t post profit/loss figures for the trading tips systems as those will vary on odds and times of closing the trades.
• The quoted odds are guide odds only provided by Bet365 and will often differ from the best Betfair’s odds.
• To keep it as easy as possible, we keep track of wins and losses, as if they were left as bets.
• Furthermore, the only losing trades were the ones finishing 0-0, unless you did any 0-0 scalping before the match started. Therefore most of those matches we marked as lost bets would have been successfully cashed out when a goal came in, even though they finished as draws.
• You can download the selections or print them using the buttons on the top right side above the table.
• If you see ‘No data available in table’, that means there are no current selections for this system.
• If there are no tips for a few consecutive days, please get in touch and check whether everything is working ok.
