@theacademic - We normally don't allow these surveys as it's effectively spam, but if you contribute to the topic here then of course that's a different story.

Without doubt in my opinion, not even a debate.
Ask yourself this - what other player has dragged an average Serie A club to win the title, which was Napoli at the time and they were very average. Then he did the same with what was an average Argentina team to win the World Cup.

I know my Dad has a big collection for sure! Going right back to the Leeds old says with Bremner and co.
Some stories there for sure!

Good luck guys and girls for next month and more cash! We always try our best even in a crazy situation we're all in.
More importantly, stay safe and healthy.

The future of betting? Not a hope in hell. It will have it's own place, but is so open to abuse it's crazy. It simply could never match football or even horse racing ever.

It's not the government's job to bail out football clubs like some seem to think it is, their job is to look after the people and jobs and sure that covers a lot of football too, but let's dig into this more.
First of all, FIFA, UEFA, The FA, EFL, & especially The Premier League should NEVER let any club go out of business in this scenario because it's just not their fault.
Let's break this down though:
So the EFL to their credit has promised £50m as far as I last read and rightly so, but if it's not enough then they need to put more in. These football authorities have huge cash reserves, not least because they love handing out fines.
The Premier League - I dread to think how much cash is in their bank account and they need to back up the EFL and the whole of the Non League Football Divisions too, because in reality it wouldn't cost that much and they've got a ton of money to do it.
As for FIFA and UEFA, but especially FIFA - these guys are a total joke at the minute. FIFA has all the money in the world as they're corrupt as hell with all the bribes they get, not to mention the revenue and same applies to UEFA. They again are a total disgrace at the minute, as they should be backing up all football authorities with cash if the that authority can't financially stop every club going to the wall and what have they done so far?
"Fifa also announced it had donated $10m (£8.5m) to the World Health Organisation's Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund."Well, whoopee fcukin aye FIFA - are you taking the piss with that? ?
It's staggering the arrogance they've got and Gianni Infantino is instead on youtube telling everyone how to wash their hands - is he on crack?
I'm speechless at FIFA's lack of input and more importantly cash.- Valiant Thor, CzechPunter, Tiffy and 1 other

They have to play the season out for everyone, as and when all this pandemic blows over. They'll be legal cases galore otherwise and it's not fair to do it on average points, which was my original suggestion.
Don't forget Qatar World Cup 2022 starts in November too, so pushing everything back shouldn't really be a problem.

That's a tough one, but I don't think it's going to be a win for you in this case. Trying IBAS is worth a try, they can only say no we don't agree. -

Major disappointment last week, dog ran no where near its form. There is a lot of kennel sickness going around the greyhound world and it could be that it has a bug as there are no reports of lameness..
8.24 Sheff - Tp 6 Deadly Expert. (11/10) ... was 6/4 late last night ... likely to go off odds on.
This looks a real solid selection. It has its favoured trap 6, with the bonus that trap 5 has been withdrawn lame so it has a vacant trap next to it giving it plenty of room to work. For me it is the best dog in the race with a bonus vacant box next to it. It should lead or be up the front from the start.
Can be watched on Sky 175 .. or Freesat 176 .. or online.
Won comfortable, nicely done @Bang on

I think this will be the last week of the all these leagues too, but I had a look and really like Darlington too based on the stats which is how I always go about picking teams.
Good luck mate!

Just merged this with the odds thread @Darran - anyone pressures you, just cough and sneeze at them that should sort it.

Still seems like these go ahead tomorrow!

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree @zabadac

Transfers don't mean anything - they have to play as a team regardless. Our ratings are based on performances not how much the squad is worth. So many clubs spend a shitload of money and do nothing because the team can't gel.
Ratings should be made simple, logical and not too many parameters or they simply will not work. -
@zabadac I was referring to domestic football not international, the ratings are quite powerful early where even the bookmakers aren't sure which teams are going to be front runners, strugglers etc...
-
I would stress this point about the stage of the season we're at too. The ratings are at their most effective early to mid season in my opinion. This stage of the season throws up many shocks because a lot of teams are playing for nothing, so there's no pressure. You also get teams that are very low odds to what they should be because of the motivation factor that the other team doesn't need to win as they're safe, a good number of these big favourites tend to fold too.
It's basically silly season and you have to be careful.

Ok the last question.
From your past reasults the first one: LEICESTER CITY (65) - ASTON VILLA (-4), result 4-0.
Those are NOT the ratings before the game.
I can't do nothing with them.
Can't I see a table of results with the prediction values ?Not currently, only before the match is played. It's on the list for the development team but not priority.

I've explained it, I'm not going to do it again.

So in the example Newcastle v. Leeds you rated the performance of Newcastle as a 54 and the performance of Leeds as a 15.
So explain to me PSG v. Nice now,
You say it's 71.25-76 versus 39-37.
Is that it ?
And as for what it means re. the probable outcome one is supposed to understand, once he has the feeling of the numbers. Correct ?
I could work out a probability scale for you though if you give me data.
Also handle two ratings (as you seem to work with two ratings) using conflation algorithm.The 2 figures are based on last 4 home games and last 2 home games as an average, same with Nice, but their last 4 and last 2 away games as an average. The "Difference" column is home team average minus away team average, giving a Prediction figure. If in green, that means home team has the advantage, in red, away team.
Performance ratings are based on what actually happened after the match has been played, giving a unique insight rather than just seeing a scoreline.
Example: https://www.punterslounge.com/elo-football-ratings/england-premier-league-match-ratings/performance
March 7th - Arsenal beat West Ham 1-0 but the performance ratings clearly show that West Ham were unlucky to lose this match as they were rated higher.
We're quite happy with how the ratings work and many punters on here have asked me not to change anything, so I appreciate the offer but they will stay as they are.
