A Rather Odd Request

[Hands Solo]

I know this is a bit weird, but I'm wanting to know every single Championship game that has been broadcast live on Sky on either a Friday, Sunday or Monday, for as far back as possible. Any idea where I could get such information?

Anybody?

i dont know of any sites, but if you're not getting any luck here, is it worth perhaps emailing sky and see if they can be of any help?

would i be right in thinking that you are looking at the 'live game' factor (and possibly its effects upon expected results?)?

I did email them a few days ago but I'm thinking somebody read it, thought wtf this isn't going to make us any money and then deleted it What I'm trying to backtest is first goal times. I obviously have no way of confirming this, but so often when we get a game here in Aus the first goal is scored between 41-50mins. Preston on Monday, Cardiff I think a couple of weeks ago, as well as games I can remember including Palace v Sunderland, Wolves v Sunderland and I think West Brom against Luton Town as well.

As an aside, I was also going to look into the number of result changing goals scored in the last 5 minutes of each half as a possible lay system (i.e. 0-0 lay the HT draw, lay leading team on the HT market etc.)

interesting stuff mate - would be intrigued as to your findings if you can get the info you need.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure whether it has something to do with the cameras and not coming out to play in the opening exchanges or just an anomaly this season. That's the difficult thing to try and figure. Same thing actually with Man Utd, who have seen a goal in a 2nd half of a Premiership game 28 times out of 29 this season, but in previous seasons the scoreless 2nd half figure was much higher. At least with Utd though there are other explanations, with this first goals idea the cameras really are the only possible real life cause that can be established (I hope that made sense, because it's half confused me )

The trouble with the HT CorScore market is that it doesn't go live - it might be better to use the outright HT market - back the draw (mostly @ 11/10+ and lay back double stake @ 1/10 some five minutes before HT - when depends on your bravery and hey presto - you win no matter what the outcome is without any nervous breakdowns if a penalty kick is awarded in the dying seconds of the first half

1.01 HT draw smashed. If only I were allowed to bet in-play via the internet
