Wizardcast 46 - Trading under 2.5 Goals

New look at the technique which has worked nicely for me on Betfair, trading under 2.5 goals at the start of a football game. After 15 minutes you don't care about the scoreline as you are Greened Up and in the money. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Going to be interviewing @TravisLegge the film maker shortly for Video20Q. He can tell me about 'Raymond Did It.'
