CS3 (3 Goal Target Scores)

📌 Concept:

• CS3 is a correct score trading strategy targeting matches with exactly three goals.

• The target scores are 3-0, 2-1, 1-2, and 0-3.

• Similar to backing Over 2.5 Goals, but offers higher profits when a target score is hit close to full-time.

• Risk: Too many goals can result in a loss.

🔎 Trade Selection:

• The Team Stats Matrix provides a shortlist of potential trades under the 'Correct Score' tab.

• The selection filters are loose, so additional research is required.

• Ideal CS3 trade:

  • One goal in the first half and two goals in the second half.

  • 0-0 at halftime is acceptable if second-half stats indicate potential goals.

  • BTTS (Both Teams to Score) and 1-1 stats are important—1-2/2-1 final scores are more common than 0-3/3-0.

  • Avoid matches where a team goes 2-0 up early—they may slow the game down.

📈 Staking & Entry Timing:

• Dutch the target scores for an initial 0.5 points stake.

• Trades are entered no earlier than 20-25 minutes to avoid early goals and secure better odds.

• If a goal has already been scored, do not trade CS3.

• If the score is 0-0 and the game is active, Dutch the target scores: 3-0, 2-1, 1-2, and 0-3.

⚡ Trading Decisions:

• Once two goals are scored, you're one goal away from profit.

• Options:

  • Lay some profit from the two remaining target scores to cover liability.

  • Do nothing and wait for the third goal.

• If the third goal is scored, lay the current score for 0.5 points to remove liability.

• If the score is 0-0, 1-0, or 0-1 late in the game, lay the current score below 2.0.

• If no late goal is scored, lose up to 1 point—but a late goal ensures at least a scratch trade.
