Pool lined with gold
What a season Blackpool are having and the tactic when the tangerines are playing is really simple. If they are at large odds at home, back them.
This may sound obvious but if you want to understand the full subtly of this tactic then fire up Soccer Mystic point it to any match where a team is large odds at home and look at what happens to the projected odds in the first half.
You wouldn’t have needed to do this much this season to have netted a heathly profit with not a great deal of downside. If it’s 0-0 at half time you can trade out and if you are clever you, have a look at some of the other stats and you can quickly work out how to hedge the position.
I would have backed Blackpool for relegation at many points this season, but each year one of the promoted clubs benefit from the ‘shock of the new’. This year appears to be Blackpool’s turn. Typically this fades in season two in the top flight so it would be surprise to see it happen. As it is, tonight Blackpool have a real chance to destroy Man Utd’s dream of an unbeaten season. Never would have bet on that either!
