Low odds are terrible imo, especially if you're solely looking at in-play odds. One loss wipes out when hell of a lot of gains and if you're looking at in-play (which I assume so based on your 3-1 comment) then the odds, I find, often aren't realistic at all.

I managed to get to £80 from my original £10 by Saturday, cashed out for a loss of £15. Withdrew £40 so I was £30 up, and then the very next game lost it all thanks to 3 quick goals.

I backed a game at under 3.5 for odds of 1.04 that was 0-1 on 65 minutes, stats showed not many shots, even possession, same as my previous bets. Press confirm and boom a goal to make it 1-1. Game ended 5-1!

Happy with the profit but I know what you mean, you need a lot of luck and providing you cash out regularly and don't take stupid risks it can work but you will always lose.

I'm a fan of low odds betting but I agree that one loss can wipe out a lot of gains.

One thing I've found is that if a team is say favourites and 1 goal up and around 1.15 quite early in the game. There's not much value backing then because the odds don't have much movement to get a cash out profit.

My favourite bets are when the big teams go down to an early goal and then laying the underdogs. This has worked brilliantly a lot. City in the league cup is a great example as were united last season (less so this season)

I'm going to have a look at this, like Man City at the weekend, 2-0 down, if you layed Wigan at that point and cashed out when City scored, you would have had a nice profit. Same with Arsenal v Everton when it went to 1-1.

Yeah better idea but again doesn't always come through. I actually bet on that game (Man City to win) when they were 2-0 down, but lost obviously. Was only £10 but odds were 10/1 at that point so worth the risk considering their form and history.

I prefer big bets on mid-range (1.3 - 2.0) odds.

I made £100 on Atletico Madrid about six weeks ago doing this. 1-0 down at half time and got 9/1 to win so stuck a tenner on.
 
Man City to quaify at 15.00 has to be worth a go....Barca haven't been that good lately and last time they didn't have Aguero aswell as a red card costing them with the penalty.
 
PSG to win and over 3.5 goals in Barce-Man City game is me for tonight.

I had a good double of Athletic Madrid to win and both teams to score in Bayern-Arsenal last night.
 
Last few minutes Barca goal saved my bacon. Didn't realise at the time but I put £5 on Barca and PSG and then on a separate bet put them both again and BTTS on the night too. Came in for about £40 profit off £10.
