Another way to trade a football match
In a recent blog post I talked about how team news can affect the price of matches before the off. Here is the link: –

But today generated a different sort of opportunity due to the unfortunate events in the Urkraine.
Due to uncertainty about the security issues of playing the Ukraine, Dynamo Kiev vs Valencia was moved from Ukraine to Cyprus. No such fears appear to be blighting the Spurs match.
If you are at home the statistics show you that on average you have a 0.40 goal advantage. So if you are no longer at home that advantage is gone. So in this case the move to Cyprus would definitely have a negative effect on Kiev and that’s what you saw in the market. Bet Angel users were quick to pick up on this.
Trading opportunities are everywhere in the markets and sometimes come from unexpected angles. You just need to find them! On this occasion I’m hoping we don’t get any more from the Ukraine.
