In-play strategies

I’m interested to learn what people’s strategies are when placing bets in-play, specifically football matches. I understand that by placing bets during half-time is by far the best thing to do, but:

What are your “go-to” markets? Correct-Score? Over/Under x.y?

What range of odds are you looking for? 5.0-10.0? 10.0+?

Do you prefer to lay first before betting?

Or do you simply try to scan all the available markets looking for close back/lay matches?

Depends on the bookie, the ones you mention are usually a safe bet but it’s worth having a skim through the others.

5-10.

Always lay after.

For the smaller bets, £5-£10 free in play, I quite often just back 0-0 (or whatever the current score is) and wait for the lay odds to shorten before closing it out. Obviously occasionally it doesn’t work, but it can be a good way to maximise the return.

For the bigger ones I wouldn’t risk that and look for markets as you mentioned above.
