Match Shortlists

36 – Backing First Half Goals

80% of the games shortlisted here have at least one first half goal, with over 45% resulting in over two goals.

37 – Mini First Half Goal Accumulators

With an average price of 1.25 for a first half goal on these shortlists, combining these into a 3 time acca would generate roughly an even money return. Do you think you could correctly pick 3 games from each day’s shortlist and be right 50% of the time, or better?

38 – Trade First Half Goals

You know that there is a very good chance of a First Half Goal, perhaps you decide to wait 20 minutes into game, monitor the game state and in-play stats and time your entry to increase potential returns.

39 – Bet The Other Goal Markets

If you know, you have a very good chance of one, or even two, first half goals. Perhaps consider the Over 1.5 / 2.5 / 3.5 goals markets. We know that the second half is, generally, the higher scoring half. So if we can be reasonably confident that a game will have at least one first half goal, it signficantly increases our chances of their being 2.5 and 3.5 goals in the game. Combine this with the knowledge that games included in the First Half Goals shortlist average 3.28 goals per game!

40. Trade The Other Goal Markets Drip feed into the market during the first half on Over 2.5 and / or Over 3.5 goals and then trade out out of the first goal.
