crazy weekend

[johnh8844]

evening all this is my first post in the lounge i signed up yeterday. I would like to start by wishing every one all the best and a happy new year. I only bet on the football i have tryed horses i have little interest in them and as a result even less sucsess. I have been visiting the site over the last week or so as a guest and have found some fantastic subjects and blogs that i have realy enjoyed reading. By doing so i have relised that there are lots of things i can learn of people in hear because you guys realy know your onions. Well i have been reading in depth the blogs on football raiting systems with great interest . I was wondering if any body has had much success over the weekend with there been a lot of what i would regared as rough results using raiting systems . manu 2-3 blackburn chelsea 1-3 villa (im a villa fan this shocked me ) swansea 1-1 spurs city 0-1 sunderland with southampton ,westham to name a few more that you would have possably backed did anybody manage to make a profit i for 1 didnt.

Re: crazy weekend :welcome to PL. It was certainly a weekend for those that back the underdogs.

Re: crazy weekend :welcome i would add that i believe there are some great levellers when it comes to football and playing games in quick succession is one of them, hence why perhaps these results all came at the same time during a busy week with 3 games. The managers tend to tweak thier squads leaving them slightly unbalanced and at times this causes pressure on the bigger sides to get thier results. only yesterday on the way to Arsenal v QPR my mate said you always have the odd freak result this time of year and to have 4 in the premiership was unbelievable

Re: crazy weekend Note for next year then. Back the underdogs in all premiership games in 4folds and upwards. Might be a nice pay out.

Re: crazy weekend Hi Johnh8844, im also a new poster (have visited for a while though). I only bet small amounts usually and and had a bit of success over the last few days (which isnt often ha). The premiership scares me with how unpredictable it can be so i tend to stick to things like number of goals etc. Heres the bets i won... http://s1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd417/A713N/?action=view&current=bet1.jpg http://s1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd417/A713N/?action=view&current=bet2.jpg http://s1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd417/A713N/?action=view&current=bet3.jpg I agree with the crazy weekend, some shocking results, i wonder how many took a chance on blackburn...:clap

Re: crazy weekend If you would have backed Blackburn, Aston Villa and Sunderland in a treble you would have got a price of @ 2,200.00 :loon

I have been paper trading a system by applying the kelly staking method to fink tank ratings (see my thread here for more details http://forum.punterslounge.com/f6/fink-tank-english-leagues-ratings-paper-trade-125061/) and this suggested placing 11%, 5% and 2.5% on Sunderland, Blackburn and Villa respectively. I should point out though that over 150 games this seasons this system is still only break even so these good results should not be taken as evidence that this system is reliable!
