    Hello

    I hope someone can help me with this.

    I'm looking at the Newcastle v Middlesbrough match tonight.

    In the 'correct score' market, 'any unquoted' is 13 | 13.5 (back | lay). If I understand correctly this means anything above 3 - 3. In other words, 7 goals or more.

    Looking at the 'total goals' market '7 goals or more' is 53.11 | 63.16 (back | lay).

    Am I right in thinking that if I lay 'any unquoted' at 13.5, and back '7 goals or more', I can't lose?

    For example,

    I lay 100 on 'any unquoted' @ 13.5. This means I risk 1250 to win 100.
    I back 30 on '7 goals or more' @ 53.11. This means I risk 30 to win 1563.

    So -

    If it is less than 7 goals, I win 100 and lose 30 = 70 profit.
    If it is 7 goals or more I win 1563 and lose 1250 = 313 profit.

    Am I right?!

    Thanks.
    If it is 7 goals or more I lose 1250, but if it is less than 7 goals

    Either team winning 4-0, 5-0 or 6-0 would mess you up, no?

    Nah I was looking for an angle to back and lay the same bet while still making a profit...

    Exactly, I have 0-0 backed but laying "any unquoted" looks very appealing!

    Yeah I am consider doing unquoted as well.

    Btw, I don't think there is a chance in hell there will be more than 7 goals!

    You should always back "no goalscorer" as an OG doesnt count in that market. So on the off chance the match ends 1-0 the team scoring through an own goal you'd win your no goalscorer bet but lose the 0-0 bet.

    Great tip!
