  1. Re: Times Newspaper Predictor. Merlin - If you lay a team £10 - you win £10 if they don't win (think of it that you are acting as the bookie taking a bet) - the trouble is that you have to have the bet covered in your account. Take tonights match Torquay are 6.3 at the moment to lay on betfair - if you lay £10 you have to have £53 in your account to cover the bet. Hope that made sense :ok

  2. Re: Times Newspaper Predictor. 31 wins - 14 draws - 3 losses Let's just assume that we cover the wins with a draw. The average odds for the wins are 1.62 and I've calculated the average odds for the draw are 3.60 - The best way to split the stake is this :- 1.62 * .722 points 3.60 * .278 points given that the draws will return back the stake - this leaves :- 31 * .722 (stake) * 0.62 (odds) - 3 points (loss) = 10.88 points profit the current win only system is showing a 2.34 point profit.

  3. Re: Times Newspaper Predictor. Hmmmmm - I was wondering that Merlin - but the selection for this thread has been set and I can't really change midstream. But for those following the tables it may be an idea to cover the draw - I haven't figured the numbers for this though. OK these are the numbers that I have been crunching - for 230 matches played over the last month. The instinctive cut off of 48% works - you'll just have to trust me :rollin

    For the first few weeks BG was 61% - this last week hasnt been so good as the BG thread shows. Any thoughts welcome :ok

  4. Re: Times Newspaper Predictor. Thanks Merlin, I've been looking at the losers of this system so far only 11 matches (7 draws, 3 losses) but in those 11 these teams appear twice :- Wigan , Bolton , Chelsea , Arsenal , Wycombe. I don't want to over analyse this and start avoiding teams - but there is a certain consistency forming that I feel good about. If the strike rate of 70% holds and with average odds of 1.62 - the yield should be very good around 13.4% I calculate - :ok

  5. Re: Times Newspaper Predictor. Hi Plausible, Just ran the figures and it was 51 / 33 /16 with my filter and 51 /35 /15 using the standard set - so not much difference there I'm afraid. I'm just going through the results to see whats what. ***ing Bolton they fell short last week and exceeded themselves this. Middlesboro loose 4-0 at home to Aston Villa last week & then this week beat Chelsea 3-0 at home. It's a funny ol game !!!!

  6. Re: Times Newspaper Predictor. Thanks Guys, Plausible - the BG figures may be different to the ones you get as standard and on the BG thread - I use a filter that I believe is the most accurate over all the leagues results. David - Good luck if you've had a punt on any glad they help. Merlin - Cheers again for your support

  8. Re: Times Newspaper Predictor. Have to remember the 5% on betfair - but I was really meaning that the price was VALUE any better is a bonus. Have a look at Readings last 6 match home goal record to Southamptons last 6 away goal record ;) Southend would be a pick but TP doesnt go for it on the usual 7 day predictor which is used - on the individual match system it picks it as a win so you may well be ok - but I can't highlight it on this system. My personal opinion would be a Southend 1-0 or 2-1 win :ok

  9. Re: Times Newspaper Predictor. Another selection for tonight and IMHO it's a cracker 1.44 bet365 is good value.
