Another of these ideas that has been swirling about in the brain-box for years so lets see if there's any substance . Only rules are that the 2 sides playing must be lying side-by-side in their league table and the selection will be the home team. Reasoning is that the home side will raise their game when playing a side who are just above or below them and to lose will place that side in front or further in front of them [ basically a mentality thing :tongue2] A paper trail until the end of the season [:hope] and will concentrate on the English Prem to L2 , Serie A , Spanish Primera ,Bundesliga and French 1st Div . One advantage is that the majority of the odds will be 2.0 or better so as long as the wins outnumber the losses a profit should be shown .
