Profitable Back The Draw Betfair Trading Strategy... Does It Actually Work?

Can Back The Draw still be a profitable Betfair trading strategy?

It is one of the simplest football trading ideas out there.

Find the right match.

Back the draw.

Then manage the trade depending on how the game plays out.

But simple does not mean easy... and it definitely does not mean profitable.

In this podcast, we backtest a Back The Draw strategy across years of football data to see whether the numbers actually stack up.

We look at:

• The overall profit and loss
• The strike rate
• The average odds
• The longest winning and losing runs
• Which leagues performed best
• Which filters made the biggest difference
• Whether the strategy is worth forward testing

The whole point is to remove the guesswork.

Instead of saying “this looks like a good draw game”, we can test the idea properly and see whether there is a real edge behind it.
