0:00: Hello and welcome to a special podcast today. 
 0:02: We're gonna go into mastering correct score, betting and trading on Betfair, and we're gonna do this for 2025 cos we've just hit a new year and it's gonna be amazing. 
 0:12: OK, so I'm gonna get into the podcast now. 
 0:14: Hope you guys enjoy it. 
 0:15: If you do, like, subscribe, comment, do all the. 
 0:18: Those good things. 
 0:19: That lets me know that you'll want me to do more of these podcasts in video form. 
 0:22: Usually I just do them as podcasts. 
 0:24: You can go and check out the Betfair Tradingcommunity.com podcast. 
 0:28: Just search Betfair Trading Community podcast, and it is hosted at all good podcast providers and perhaps some bad ones as well. 
 0:36: , so welcome back to the podcast. 
 0:38: We're gonna deep dive deep into sports betting strategies today, as I've said. 
 0:43: I'm your host Martin, and we're gonna tackle one of the most popular trading strategies, which is the correct score market. 
 0:51: Whether you're a season's better or you're just starting out, understanding correct school betting can add an exciting dimension to your wagering experience. 
 1:00: Before we jump in, a quick reminder, always bet responsibly, set limits, know your boundaries and seek help if you feel like it's becoming a problem. 
 1:09: Never bet more than you can afford to lose. 
 1:12: It's kind of the mantra I always say you should stick to,, and hopefully you are. 
 1:18: Let's get into it, so. 
 1:20: I've got a list of things here I'm gonna go through. 
 1:23: We're really gonna go through it systematically and we're gonna master correct score trading today. 
 1:28: So section one, what is correct score betting or trading? 
 1:32: In simple terms, it's a wager where you predict the exact final score of a sporting event. 
 1:38: Now we're gonna talk today about football, that's the thing we focus on, but you could do this on other sports as well,. 
 1:46: Like tennis is quite a good one where you can do set score betting and things like that and and score of the set. 
 1:52: But unlike other types of bets where you're predicting the outcome, as as in a win, lose or a draw, correct score betting requires that you forecast a precise number of goals each team will score and where, OK? 
 2:05: So for example, if you bet on the correct score market on a 2-1 result, you need to pick which team's gonna win 2-1. 
 2:12: And if they win 21, you win your bet, and if they don't, you lose. 
 2:16: It's as simple as that. 
 2:17: , so it sounds very straightforward. 
 2:21: It's not quite as straightforward as that. 
 2:22: The challenge and perhaps the allure of correct score betting lies in its difficulty because there are countless possible score combinations, the odds are typically higher, meaning the payouts can be substantial if you get it right. 
 2:36: But obviously you can go on runs where you get quite a few wrong. 
 2:40: And that's something to be aware of. 
 2:42: Now, whether you're straight betting with correct score and you're just placing a bet and letting it run, or whether you're trading, where you're kind of reducing the variance and risk somewhat by taking profits and loss at certain points, you will still have this kind of situation where you need to get close to that correct score regularly to make money in this market,, but there are some ways to do that and we'll go through this as we go. 
 3:06: Why choose correct score betting,#2? 
 3:09: And you might be wondering this, why should I choose correct score betting over more straightforward options like, let's say the match outcome, who's gonna win, or over under bets? 
 3:19: Well, I'm gonna give you a few reasons, and we've talked a little bit about a couple of them, but number one, higher payouts. 
 3:24: As I mentioned, the odds are longer, so if you predict the score correctly, you can get a significantly higher payout, especially if you're letting it run. 
 3:33: Enhanced engagement, focusing on the second, the exact score keeps you engaged throughout the match, adding a layer of excitement. 
 3:42: And strategic depth, it allows bettors and traders to apply detailed analysis and strategies, making the experience more intellectually stimulating. 
 3:51: And that is right, if you bet on correct score, you will feel that if you start getting it right, if you start naming that market and making money on it, you feel like a bit of a genius cos you're like, well, I'm like Mystic Meg, I know what's gonna happen. 
 4:03: , you know, predicting a win or a loss is, is quite a bit easier, you know. 
 4:07: If I tell you, well, Man City are gonna win today, and their odds are 1.5, well, they're probably gonna win, yeah. 
 4:13: But if I tell you Man City are gonna win 3-1 and the odds are 10, then that's much more of an achievement and much more profitable if you get it correct. 
 4:22: So let's get into some strategies, cos I think this is probably why most of you are tuning in, you know what correct score is, you know some of the advantages and disadvantages, but what you're really interested in here is what strategies can I use with correct score betting. 
 4:35: Now I have done some videos on correct score where I go and show you all of this in live form. 
 4:40: Obviously in a podcast. 
 4:41: I'm not gonna do that because the podcast audience won't be able to see it. 
 4:44: , but go and search if you want on the YouTube channel, search for Betfair trading community and search correct score strategy and stuff will come up. 
 4:51: I'm gonna talk through some of it now. 
 4:53: We're gonna look at the key statistics that I think you should look at when you're looking at the correct score market. 
 5:00: Now the first thing I look at is the frequency of common scores the teams play. 
 5:06: OK? 
 5:07: So let's say Man United are playing Norwich today, yeah? 
 5:12: And I can see Man United's last 10 home games and Norwich's last 10 away games, cos Man United are at home, Norwich are away, so I wanna see home for home, away for away. 
 5:22: , now in the Betfair trading Community.com software, this is really easy to do, obviously. 
 5:27: You can click on the match and it will show you the percentages of the correct scores. 
 5:31: Now let's say that I go through that and I notice it's, oh hang on. 
 5:35: 11 happens 25% of the time. 
 5:38: These teams in their last 10 home for United, 10 away for Norwich, 25% of the time, quarter of the time, obviously, 11 has happened. 
 5:47: OK, well I know the odds of 25% are 3 to 1 or 4.0 on Betfair. 
 5:53: I also know that this scoreline 1-1 at the start of the match is nearly always 6.0 or above. 
 5:59: So there could be some potential value in this as an opening gambit, as something I might look to trade because they have a high frequency of 11 score lines. 
 6:09: But what I like to do, and I think this is, this is perhaps more of a trading perspective, but I suppose it could be more of an outright betting one as well if you wanted to let it run and kind of hedge a few options. 
 6:20: , but in this instance, what I like to do is look for one or two other score lines that are very common, but match the 11, and I'll explain it. 
 6:31: So let's say I see that 11 happens 25% of the time. 
 6:34: Great. 
 6:35: I know there's probably gonna be value in that scoreline. 
 6:38: And then look at another scoreline, 2-1 to Man United, and that scoreline has happened 20% of the time. 
 6:46: OK. 
 6:48: That means that I've got 45% of the outcomes covered if I back 11 and 21. 
 6:55: What I like about this as an idea is that the score lines are matched. 
 6:59: So a match, let's say the match goes like this, Man United go one-nil up. 
 7:05: Well, if it's at the right time, maybe around half time, the 11 odds will probably shorten, or they'll at least be similar. 
 7:13: The 21 odds will definitely shorten. 
 7:16: So you're already in a good position. 
 7:19: Say Norwich equalize, this is kind of the dream scenario. 
 7:22: 11, brilliant. 
 7:24: Now, one of your scorelines is already hitting, the odds will definitely start to shorten. 
 7:29: But also, 2-1 will shorten tremendously because Man United are probably favorites. 
 7:35: So in this scenario, 2-1 will actually probably be quite short odds and maybe coming down to that 5-6 mark along with the 1-1. 
 7:45: And 2.1 often is 10, 11.0, something like that plus. 
 7:50: So you know you'd be getting good value in that situation. 
 7:54: But this is what I'm talking about with frequency. 
 7:56: You want scorelines that connect with each other and make sense. 
 8:00: Now, let's say that the other scoreline I'm looking at is, oh, I can see that 11's a popular score, but I can also see that 3-nil's a popular score. 
 8:09: Let's say 3-0 also has 25%. 
 8:13: So you could look at it and go, well if I cover 11 and 3-nil, I'm covering 50% of what's happened, and I'll get good odds on 3-0. 
 8:21: The problem is, 11 and 3-nil aren't greatly connected. 
 8:26: They're a little bit connected and I'll tell you how, but they're not greatly connected, so. 
 8:31: In the scenario of 11, if Norris score first. 
 8:36: That's probably good for your 11 trade because United are very likely to get an equalizer before Norwich score again. 
 8:42: So that's a good situation. 
 8:44: However, your 3-nil bet is already dead in the water. 
 8:49: You see the problem, whereas on my original example, if Norwich go 1-0 up, so it goes 01, your 1-1 bet is in a good position and your 2-1 bet is now in a really good position as well, because the market might expect, well, United are still gonna win, and if they're gonna win, they're probably gonna have to get to 2-1 at some point, because if they concede again, they're probably not gonna win the game. 
 9:12: So in that scenario, you're in a really good position. 
 9:14: Do you see how, do you see the difference between the two? 
 9:17: Now, if Man United go one-nil up. 
 9:20: That's OK for your 11 bet, depending on how late in the game it is. 
 9:25: It's also pretty, it's also very good for your 3-nil bet. 
 9:28: So that's a scenario where they're a little bit connected, but you've really got a danger of Norwich score first. 
 9:34: To the extent if Norwich score first and it's early, you're looking at a loss on the market, and it's gonna be very difficult. 
 9:42: The only situation really you can recover is that Man United make it 1-1 late on. 
 9:47: And then the odds will shorten on that. 
 9:50: You'd hopefully you'll be able to make enough green to cover your loss on the 3-nil, which you've already had. 
 9:54: But you want to get in, if you're trading a special, if you want to get in a scenario where you can green up on both outcomes. 
 10:00: So if I have back 11 and 21 and it goes 1-0 Man United and both prices come in, I'm greening up on both outcomes. 
 10:08: I'm not having to take a loss anywhere. 
 10:10: And the next and the next goal does affect me, you know, if it goes 2-nil, my 11 bet's gone. 
 10:16: OK? 
 10:17: So I quite like that situation. 
 10:20: Another situation I quite like, let's say you're looking for 3 options. 
 10:24: What about 11, 21 and 12? 
 10:27: You see that Norwich have had 12 20% of the time. 
 10:30: So you've got 11 at 25%, you've got 2-1 to Man United at 20%, but you've also got 12 to Norwich at 20%. 
 10:39: Suddenly you've got 65% of the outcomes in the last 10 home games for United and 10 away for Norwich, covered in 3 bets. 
 10:47: And if it goes 1-1 in the match, the next goal doesn't hurt you, because it could be Dreamland. 
 10:55: You know, let's say it's 1-1, 70 minutes in. 
 10:58: Well, you're in a really good spot here because the 11 odds would have come in significantly, and the 21 and 12 odds would have still come in because they know that if their goal goes that way, that's probably how it's gonna finish so late in the game. 
 11:11: And you'll be able to take a big green. 
 11:13: And this is the important thing of any trading strategy. 
 11:16: We're not necessarily saying, oh well, it says 65%, this is how it's gonna finish, that's how it's gonna finish. 
 11:22: That's not really what we're looking for here. 
 11:24: What we're looking for is a trading opportunity, and we see that these score lines are quite frequent. 
 11:29: So there's a good chance that we're gonna get towards one of those in a match like this, OK? 
 11:34: So that should kind of give you a little bit of an idea of how you can start to go about thinking about a Betfair trading strategy regarding the correct score market. 
 11:42: Again, this is gonna be so much easier if you use something like Betfair tradingcommunity.com to make your selections, to be able to put filters in, create a strategy, get your selections each day for that based on your criteria. 
 11:54: Dreamland really makes it so much easier. 
 11:56: But here's the thing. 
 11:58: You start to think about that, you start to give yourself a bit of a leg up on the market because a lot of the market, when they're betting on correct score, they're just going, oh well, I think Man City are gonna win easy today, so I was back 4-0. 
 12:09: And there's not a lot, with a lot of people, there's not much more thought than that. 
 12:12: And that's just the truth of betfair trading. 
 12:14: So the way to give your self a leg up is to really think about your trades, think about why you're doing it, look for patterns, look for common scorelines. 
 12:23: That is my favorite way to trade the correct score market. 
 12:26: But there are a few other factors you're gonna want to consider, which I'll get into now as I've listed them here. 
 12:33: Now we've talked a little bit about analyzing team form, but I'm gonna put that as number one. 
 12:37: I still want to see the team form. 
 12:39: You know, are Man United, if I'm gonna be backing Man United, let's say the common scoreline's 1121. 
 12:46: Well do Man United concede a lot of goals and do they win a lot of games? 
 12:51: Because if they don't, 2-1's not an amazing scoreline to back. 
 12:55: So you wanna kind of try and marry form with correct score common outcomes. 
 13:02: The second one is head to head statistics. 
 13:05: Now. 
 13:06: These are quite difficult sometimes because historical head to head matches may be very different, you know. 
 13:12: If I go to Norwich Man United's last 10 games, well, Norwich haven't been in the Premier League every season, so you're gonna be going back years and years. 
 13:20: But if you've got teams who do play in the same league every year, you can maybe look at their last 4 or 5 head to head games and see, are there any patterns there? 
 13:28: And again, you can do this in the Betfair trading community software which makes it so much easier, saves you so much time. 
 13:35: But are there any patterns between the head to head statistics where you go, OK, it's quite clear here, these teams often have a 1-1, or Man United often win this game 2-1, or Man United win, Norwich lose. 
 13:47: Those kinds of things are gonna help you assess whether you make a correct score trade on this market. 
 13:53: The next thing to look at is injury news, really important one that I think a lot of people overlook. 
 14:00: Check to see that the players who normally play are playing, especially the goal scorers. 
 14:04: Look, if you want 21, you need 3 goals. 
 14:08: Well, we know that on average in football, the average amount of goals is just around that between 2 and 3. 
 14:13: That's why the market goes for over 2.5 goals, it's kind of the midpoint. 
 14:18: And often on an over 2.5 goals odds will be the closest ones to evens on both sides of the market. 
 14:25: The reason for that is that most of the time matches end in two or three goals. 
 14:31: So we know that the average, when it's spread out, it's gonna be around 2.5, 2.6. 
 14:36: It'll vary league to league and season to season. 
 14:39: But the important thing to know there is that you're gonna want goals to be scored. 
 14:44: And if the top scorers are out, if, you know, a team who's not had good defenders playing, suddenly they get their whole back line back, things like that, and this does happen quite often, then you're gonna wanna be careful here. 
 14:57: Another thing with news is look at managers. 
 14:59: If the manager's just got fired, has the manager been replaced? 
 15:03: That can affect the teams because they might play a different style now. 
 15:07: They might be playing a different way, the players might be motivated again. 
 15:10: Lots of things can happen, we often see that new manager bounce that people talk about, we often see that happening. 
 15:18: Number 4, playing styles. 
 15:20: Another thing you can consider, teams that play offensively or attackingly are more likely to have higher scoring games while defensive teams might lead to lower scores. 
 15:30: And if you know how many goals these teams get on average, you can start to work out, well, if this teams expect, I expect this team to score 2 goals and this team score 1, 2-1 might be a good scoreline for me to back. 
 15:43: That's kind of a way to start thinking about betting and trading the correct school market. 
 15:48: And then we're gonna think about things like home advantage. 
 15:51: Luckily with the Betfair training community, software focuses on the home match for the home teams and away match for the away teams, and this is critical because home advantage is such a big factor in football, and you'll see it every week where home teams will be shorter odds than they would be if they were playing away against the same team. 
 16:08: There's a reason for that, right? 
 16:10: And some people don't like this, some people will say like, well, I like to look at the away form anyway. 
 16:14: OK, that's fine. 
 16:15: But the problem is, you know, teams just some teams just have such different form away from home. 
 16:21: And do you really wanna go, oh well, this team just lost 3-0 away from home. 
 16:26: Of course they're gonna lose their next home game. 
 16:28: Really? 
 16:29: Does anyone actually believe that that is a significant factor? 
 16:32: Because you will see matches where teams get trounced away from home, come back the next week and win easily. 
 16:38: Time and time and time and time again when they're playing at home, and that's because the form is so different between the two. 
 16:45: Remember, combining these factors increases your chances of success. 
 16:50: And that's what you really want to be thinking about as a Betfair trader. 
 16:52: Think about what can my chance of success be here? 
 16:56: And there's no guaranteed method obviously for success, so try these things out, test them, see what works for you. 
 17:04: Always approach betting a caution, and as I said before, and I'll repeat it, never bet what you can't afford to lose. 
 17:11: OK, number 4, common mistakes to avoid. 
 17:16: So this is gonna be really important, right, cos we want to avoid the common mistakes. 
 17:21: So first off, even with the best strategies, bets can fall into common traps. 
 17:26: Here are a few mistakes to watch out for. 
 17:29: Number one, ignoring the odds. 
 17:31: Now, if you've got a situation where you're looking at a scoreline and you go, wow, 20% of the time these teams have this outcome, that's great. 
 17:42: I know that 20% in odds is 4 to 1 and in decimal odds is 5.0. 
 17:48: If you ignore that factor and you go and look at a correct scoreline and the odds are 5.0, and you go, well I know the chances is 5.0, you shouldn't bet. 
 18:00: Right? 
 18:00: You shouldn't bet that scenario. 
 18:02: You always have to be looking for value. 
 18:04: As I always say, value is king, right? 
 18:06: You wanna get value in the market. 
 18:08: You wanna get odds that are bigger than you think they should be. 
 18:11: When your backings, as you're inevitably gonna be doing in a correct score market, you're probably gonna be backing, right? 
 18:17: Most people have backing strategies for the correct score market. 
 18:20: Well, if you're backing. 
 18:22: Then surely in that scenario, you wanna be getting a higher price than it should be, that's how you make money, right? 
 18:28: That's how you get value in any walk of life, right? 
 18:31: If I go into Tesco today and I find that they're sell, you know, I want some Pepsi and I find that they're selling cans for 1 p. 
 18:38: I know I'm getting huge value there. 
 18:40: Probably gonna buy quite a lot. 
 18:42: However, if they're selling cans for 10 pounds a pop, I know it's really bad value, and I'm not gonna take it. 
 18:47: It's the same with better fair trading. 
 18:49: You need to start trying to spot where the value is and work out, you know, do I think this scoreline is gonna happen often? 
 18:56: If not, how often will it happen? 
 18:58: And if it doesn't happen that often. 
 19:00: Am I getting big enough odds to make this a worthwhile bet or trade? 
 19:04: That's something to really think about. 
 19:05: I think a lot of people ignore odds and it's a massive mistake when you're betting or you're trading on Betfair. 
 19:12: Overlooking external factors. 
 19:15: This is another common error. 
 19:16: So one that's quite, I mean, I'm talking about weather conditions, I'm wary that the sun's now blaring on my face and I haven't fully shut the curtain because. 
 19:25: Who expected sun? 
 19:26: It's like January when I'm recording this right, it's the end of January. 
 19:30: Why is there sun? 
 19:31: It's the UK, what's going on? 
 19:33: Well, this is the thing, right? 
 19:35: This is the thing. 
 19:36: Weather factors have an influence. 
 19:38: Now, if it's icy, if it's raining really heavily, that tends to suggest there might not be as many goals. 
 19:45: Players are cold, they're not enjoying it as much. 
 19:48: Whereas if it's kind of this weather, sunny in the winter, it's actually quite nice conditions to play in. 
 19:53: You know, this will keep you warm enough when you're running around that you won't be cold, but you're not gonna get boiling either because, well, it's January and I live up north, so it never gets warm. 
 20:03: But the point is that you can't ignore factors like the weather, refereeing decisions. 
 20:09: You know, look at the referee, how's the referee, you know, now this isn't one I tend to look at, to be honest, but this is one you could look at. 
 20:16: If you really, if you only have one or two games, you're like, I wanna do some further research, that's something to look at. 
 20:21: Does the ref give a lot of red cards? 
 20:23: Red cards have just such a huge factor in correct score markets because they, they changed the game totally and they change what you're expecting to happen because you were betting and trading based on it being 11 v 11. 
 20:36: Now it's 11 v 10 or 10 v 11, and you're in a situation where you are now trading a situation you didn't plan for pre-match, or most people wouldn't plan for. 
 20:48: What are you gonna do? 
 20:49: Do you take the loss, if there's a loss to be taken, do you just get out? 
 20:52: I mean I'd probably advise you to do. 
 20:54: But again, that's something you wanna test and see what works for you. 
 20:57: , let's get on to number 3 of this section, chasing losses. 
 21:03: Now, it's always tempting, and I get this, and this is a general one, I can say this for every strategy, it's always tempting to increase, increase your bets to recover any losses you make, but this can lead to real bad financial issues. 
 21:17: , and the correct score market, probably not as bad for this one because the odds are quite big, so I don't know, I've not heard of many people chasing that much, but I'm sure it happens. 
 21:28: Don't bet more just because you lost your last bet. 
 21:31: Don't try and recover money that way because it's a cycle. 
 21:35: And what happens is that what, what will happen? 
 21:37: So let's say. 
 21:39: I bet 100 pounds on the credit score market and I let it run and I lost 100 pounds. 
 21:44: And now I'm like, well I need to make that 100 pounds back, so I'm gonna bet more. 
 21:48: , I wanna make a profit, OK, on the next one I'm gonna bet 200 pounds. 
 21:52: Oh no, that one lost, I'm gonna bet 400 pounds, and it it cycles like this. 
 21:56: Now, what will happen a lot of the time is you will make that money back by doing it. 
 22:00: So what will happen is you'll bet that 200 and you'll make that 100 back and you'll feel good. 
 22:04: Oh, I made that money back, brilliant. 
 22:06: Never gonna do that again. 
 22:07: Knowing full well, as soon as it happens again, you do it. 
 22:10: And what happens is eventually you will hit that bad run. 
 22:14: And when you do, you will wipe yourself out because you've increased your risk every time. 
 22:19: And there's really no need to do it, and if you hadn't done it, your bankroll would very much still been intact, even in a bad run. 
 22:26: And also, it will then give you a chance to get out of that situation by keep trading the same amount and if you're good, if you're profitable, if you're good at what you're doing, you will make money. 
 22:37: And that's the thing with Betfair trading that people forget. 
 22:40: If you have a profitable strategy, it will make money over time. 
 22:43: It might not make money today, cos that's the way variance and luck work in sport. 
 22:48: But skill does override the luck in the long run, and it's really important that we know that and kind of follow that and understand that. 
 22:56: And then lack of research, now if you've been listening to this podcast, it shouldn't be a big problem for you, but some people just don't do the research that's needed, and it's costly. 
 23:05: It can cost you a lot of money. 
 23:06: So make sure you do the research that I've suggested. 
 23:09: OK, I'm gonna talk a little bit about tools and statistics and resources now,. 
 23:15: You're gonna wanna use something to aid your correct score betting journey. 
 23:19: Now I suggest if you're not a member of Betfair trading community, you go and sign up to that straight away cos that software is designed to help people find things like correct score trading strategies, give you your selections each day, cut so much time out of the research every day, and basically, you know, give it to you on a plate once you've created your strategy. 
 23:39: And so, you know, you can go and then join in with the forum, speak to other traders, develop ideas around that. 
 23:46: I've got a thing I'm gonna be doing with a football challenge soon, which should help kind of really, really help people who are trying to create strategies and not sure how to do it or what works or what. 
 23:56: It's been working well. 
 23:58: But being a part of something like that is huge, right? 
 24:01: Cost fair trading or betting can be a very lonely endeavor. 
 24:05: You know, I don't actually know anyone locally who does what I do. 
 24:09: I just don't. 
 24:10: Now I know a lot of people across the UK obviously. 
 24:12: I know a lot of people back home. 
 24:14: , but I've been living up here over 10 years, and I don't know anyone else who trades on Betfair. 
 24:21: So, and that's just from meeting people, obviously, randomly. 
 24:25: Now obviously I know a few people around the area who I've met up with, I've met up with members and things and had coffees with them. 
 24:32: But I'm talking about just friends, people like that that you meet, you know, randomly, like say at work or when you're what I do, play tennis, I meet a lot of people that way. 
 24:42: And they always ask what do I do? 
 24:43: And then I explain that you know that that fair trading is part of what I do for a living, and they, they get really interested in hearing about that. 
 24:50: So it's really good here to look at tools that can help you cos it helps give you an edge on the market. 
 24:56: So I've already mentioned Betfair Training Community. 
 24:59: Now, one I like for the in-play stats is Bet365 because it gives you basically it's free. 
 25:05: So you can go and check all the in place. 
 25:06: Stats, there's a lot of stats that they use in play like from Opta and things like that, I think. 
 25:11: So that's the kind of thing you can use for some of the statistical stuff. 
 25:15: There's obviously stat sites you can use, you can go and check out. 
 25:19: Betting calculators really handy when you're trying to work stuff out. 
 25:22: , forums and communities, I've already talked about Betfair trading Communities Forum. 
 25:27: That's a really good place for traders to go and learn and work with each other to become better traders. 
 25:32: And then betting software now. 
 25:34: Betfair trading community is a software that helps you create strategies. 
 25:38: Some people also like to have software like Betangel where it can place the bets for you and do bots and things like that. 
 25:44: And so that's another option, you can go and check those out. 
 25:47: There's lots of options out there,, that you can check out. 
 25:50: But with correct score, just make sure you have a plan before you do it and you know what you're gonna execute. 
 25:57: We talked a bit about responsible betting. 
 25:59: I'm gonna go through a few points on this just to make sure that you don't lose your bank. 
 26:03: Set a budget, decide how much you're willing to bet and stick to it. 
 26:07: Educate yourself about the risks involved, take breaks when you need to and seek help if needed. 
 26:13: You know, I've gone, I've talked a lot about bankroll management before, so I'm not gonna go into that today. 
 26:17: , but that's something you can go and if you, if you Google bankroll and bet staking, Betfair trading community, you can actually read my article talking about,, bankroll management exactly. 
 26:27: So yeah, just be careful with what you're doing, obviously. 
 26:30: And that's it. 
 26:31: That's a wrap on today's episode of Betfair trading Community. 
 26:34: and correct score betting offers an exciting way to engage with your favorite sport, football.
