Like many of you, I trade in-play markets (mostly on Betfair).
But I was constantly missing the exact window when a match shifted because I couldn't physically monitor the xG, dangerous attacks, and possession graphs for N concurrent games.

To solve my own headache, I spent the last few months building an automated momentum tracker. It hooks into live match data and evaluates statistical patterns in real-time.

Instead of guessing, the engine fires an alert straight to my phone when a specific scenario triggers. The rules I currently have calibrated:

• Favourite is Pushing: The favourite team is sustaining heavy pressure in the opposing third.
• Favourite Under Pressure: The underdog is generating dangerous play.
• Goal Opportunity (open game): High bilateral activity, historically preceding an imminent scoring action.
• Taking Control: One side is actively increasing its share of dangerous play after a phase of parity.
• Quiet Game: Pace has dropped significantly, dead game.

The Tech Setup
If anyone is curious about the architecture: it runs on a Java Spring Boot backend, uses an official API for data acquisition, and Redis Streams to keep the latency between a stat change on the pitch and the notification under 5 seconds. Everything is thoroughly tested and containerized.

How to try it
It’s a Telegram bot called MomEx. I’m not linking it directly here because Reddit's automod tends to instantly shadowban TG links, assuming it's a scammy tipping service (disclaimer: this is pure data analytics, no betting picks).

If you want to play around with it, you can find the link on the X profile (@mom_ex_)

The base version is completely free and lets you track a couple of rules.
If you want to test the full engine (unlimited alerts, deep stats like xG and shots on target), just type /trial in the bot for 7 days of Premium access. No credit card, no catch.

Would love to hear from other punters / traders on what metrics you find most predictive during build-up phases!

Ciao a tutti. Ho un amico che stava per aprire un secondo punto della sua attività l'anno scorso. Zona apparentemente ottima, traffico pedonale visibile, affitto ragionevole, pochi competitor diretti in vista. Ha quasi firmato.

Per fortuna prima di farlo ha fatto un giro più attento e si è accorto che negli ultimi tre anni avevano chiuso quattro attività simili nello stesso isolato. Schivato un disastro.

La cosa che mi ha colpito è che non esiste un modo semplice per sapere queste cose. Google Maps ti mostra cosa c'è adesso, non cosa c'era. L'agente immobiliare ti dice sempre che è zona ottima. I dati demografici dell'ISTAT richiedono un dottorato per essere letti.

voi come fate quando dovete valutare una zona per aprire qualcosa? Usate qualche strumento, metodo, o è tutto a occhio e istinto?

Long-time lurker here, occasional poster on trading threads.

Spent the last several months building a Telegram bot that monitors live football matches and pushes a notification when one of a few configured momentum patterns triggers.
Nothing fancy on the UX — it's Telegram, not a desktop console — but the engine is decent: sub-5s latency from stat update to notification on most matches.

The patterns it currently watches for:

• Current favourite sustaining pressure in the opposing third
• Underdog generating dangerous play against a favourite
• A previously balanced match where one side starts dominating possession-of-pressure
• High bilateral activity (both sides pushing)
• Pace dropping significantly on both sides

It tells you a match is in a specific state. What you do with that — back, lay, scalp, ignore — is on you.
I built it because I got tired of having 6 tabs of stat consoles open and still missing the phases I cared about.

Currently in private beta. Looking for ~20 more testers willing to use it for 8 weeks in exchange for actual feedback (one short form every couple weeks, that's it). Beta tier gives 3 active patterns, 70 alerts/week, full odds visible. No payment, no card, no catch.

If you've used similar apps and have an opinion on what's missing — especially interested in your input.

DM if you want in, or comment and I'll reach out.
