    I Backed Over 3.5 Goals on EVERY Match for 2 Years… Here Are the Results

    What happens if you back Over 3.5 Goals on every single football match?
    No filters.
    No league selection.
    No trying to find the obvious goal-heavy games.
    Just blindly back four or more goals every time and see what happens.
    In this podcast, I test exactly that across two full years of football data.
    We look at:
     The overall profit and loss 
     The strike rate 
     The average odds 
     The longest winning and losing runs 
     Which leagues performed best 
     Which leagues performed worst 
     Whether a few simple filters could improve the results 
    Over 3.5 Goals is an interesting market because you get bigger prices than Over 2.5...
    But obviously you need more to go right.
    So does that extra price make up for the lower strike rate?
    Or does blindly backing four goals just slowly chew through your bank?
    That is what we find out.

    But that creates a pretty obvious question...
    Does it still actually work?

    I break down:
     The exact strategy rules 
     The backtest results

     Strike rate 
     Losing runs 
     The filters that made the biggest difference 
     Whether I’d actually trade it now 
    Old strategies can look brilliant because people remember when they worked.
    That doesn’t mean they still do.
    Hit play and see what the data says.

    Under 3.5 Goals sounds like one of the simplest football strategies you could trade.
    But simple does NOT automatically mean profitable.
    So I put an Under 3.5 Goals strategy through the backtesting software to see what would actually happen over a large sample of matches.
    And the results got interesting.
    In this episode, I break down:
     The exact Under 3.5 Goals strategy 
     The backtested results 
     Profit and ROI 
     Strike rate 
     Losing runs 
     The filters that made the biggest difference 
     Whether I’d actually trade it going forward 
    This is exactly why I like backtesting.
    You can take an idea that sounds good in your head and find out whether the numbers actually agree.
    Hit play and see how the strategy performed.

    Over 2.5 Goals Strategy: The Positives, Negatives & What I’d Test

    08/09/2026 | 20 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    In this episode, I’m breaking down the positives and negatives of an Over 2.5 Goals strategy on Betfair.
    On the surface, it looks like one of the simplest football strategies out there.
    You just need three goals.
    Doesn’t matter who scores them. Doesn’t matter who wins. A 2-1, 3-0 or even 4-4 all do the job.
    But simple doesn’t necessarily mean profitable.
    I’ll look at:
    Why Over 2.5 Goals is such an easy market to understand
    Why there are so many potential qualifiers
    The stats I’d actually test
    Why “high-scoring teams” isn’t automatically an edge
    The problem with lower strike rates and losing runs
    Why the price you’re taking matters more than simply predicting goals
    How I’d start backtesting an Over 2.5 strategy from scratch
    The big question isn’t:
    “Will this match have three goals?”
    It’s:
    “Is the chance of three goals higher than the odds suggest?”
    That’s where things get interesting.

    Can an Under 1.5 Goals strategy really be profitable on Betfair?
    In this podcast, I go deep into one profitable Under 1.5 Goals strategy and break down exactly what makes it work.
    This is not just a quick look at the headline profit.
    We dig into:
     The exact strategy rules 
     The strike rate 
     Average odds 
     Overall profit and ROI 
     Winning and losing runs 
     Which leagues performed best 
     Which filters made the biggest difference 
     How consistent the results were 
     Whether I would actually forward test it 
    Under 1.5 Goals can be a difficult market.
    You only get one goal of breathing room, so getting the match selection and price right matters massively.
    That is why backtesting is so important.
    Instead of guessing which matches “look low scoring”, you can test the rules across years of football data and see whether there is actually an edge.
