Swing trading the draw - premiership preview - Lets

In a recent post we described a Betfair trading strategy that involves trading the draw in the match odds market. It’s simple, if a goal is scored the odds swing. The trader lays the draw first and backs at a higher price. This guarantees a profit. Get the match selection right, and profitable trades will outweigh unprofitable ones. The result…. regular trading profits. Here’s a quick recap of the tools to use and selection techniques.

Swing trading tools

Good Betfair trading software is essential.  The primary function required is the hedging button.  It’s called greening up and allows the trader to secure a profit.  Our traders prefer Bet Trader from Racing Traders because it’s free. Paid subscriptions are available for more speed (which is necessary later on).
