What would happen if you backed Under 2.5 Goals on every single football match?

No filters.

No league selections.

No clever entry rules.

Just blindly back Under 2.5 Goals every time and see what happens.

In this podcast, we test exactly that across two full years of football data.

We look at:

• The overall profit and loss
• The strike rate
• The average odds
• The longest winning and losing runs
• Which leagues performed best and worst
• Whether a few simple filters could improve the results

Under 2.5 Goals can feel like a sensible market because you are effectively betting against a high-scoring game.

But does that actually translate into profit?

That is what the data tells us.

If you want to stop guessing and start testing your own football trading ideas properly, you can use the Betfair Trading Community football backtesting software to see how a strategy would have performed before risking real money.
