For us traders, of course, this can be absolutely fine and dandy. If we know there is going to be little goal-mouth action, then we can either back unders, or scalp markets with a small degree of increased confidence.
At times like this, at the arse-end of the season, this is where trading comes into it's own in my opinion. Most serious straight bettors have shut their computers down for the season by now, as they can no longer rely on the results, knowing that the serious lack of motivation can skew their hard work and research into a game. Us traders, however, couldn't give a flying toss about each player's motivation.
Fully motivated, with a huge desire to bang in the goals for your team? Fine. Go for it, I have some trades that I can play. Feeling slightly more apathetic than a three-toed sloth with an in-growing toe nail? Well, that's fine too. I also have some things I can do.
I watched the Mainz v Wolfsburg match this evening; a classic example of the end-of-season malaise that strikes at this time of year. The odds on goals were surprisingly low, which meant backing unders was going to provide some reasonable movements at the right times.
I didn't go mad, of course. Just because things "seem" to be going one way, that's no reason to throw all discipline and caution out of the window, but it did all feel terribly easy this evening. And as far as I'm concerned, the end of the season can last all year. I just don't mind.
