merlin Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 ...... Hello to all those looking in, I bid you a warm welcome. I have been absent for quite a lengthy period but make a bid to return with another system. Some may remember me from the old 3-0 system thread which unfortunately ended when Michael Wray was deemed to be in fixture violation and was forced to close his prediction spreadsheets down. Anyway this one is entirely different and is mainly based on shots at goal and past scorelines over a certain period hence the title name of Potshot Parlour which tickled my fancy. Initially it will be a paper trial to see how it goes. Staking will commence with level stakes with any losing bets being doubled the following week should there be any selections at odds of 2.00 or more, and finally a third attempt will stake 4pts in attempt to claw back any losses. All selections are currently strictly for the English Premier League only and may expand later to other top leagues.The results are in the lap of the gods. Selections for Midweek:- Manchester U (h) 1.25 Arsenal (a) 2.00 Swansea (h) 1.66 Chelsea (h) 1.20 Sunderland (h) 2.05 May the force be with you. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile thanks for popping in and talk shortly. Best Regards. :):) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grex Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Re: Potshot Parlour. Good luck with this approach, Merlin. However I am a little concerned regarding........ ....staking will commence with level stakes with any losing bets being doubled the following week should there be any selections at odds of 2.00 or more' date=' and finally a third attempt will stake 4pts in attempt to claw back any losses........ This sounds suspiciously like some form of Martingale system..... and we all know how that ends up :\ Also, another tip....... don't bet on Man United ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Re: Potshot Parlour. Thanks too for popping in Grex and I note your concerns. I suppose it could be classed as a little controversial but the difference here is that the stake cuts off after four and that's it. This has worked well in recent trials. Anyway I can always adapt later if there are problems.:rollin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froment Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Re: Potshot Parlour. Hello, Merlin, glad to see you back! Good luck with this new venture! :ok ...although I picked Swansea to lose in my thread, so I hope you'll have that pick lost! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Re: Potshot Parlour. .... two winners from three last night to kick start the system. Manchester U and Swansea duly obliging. My home club Sunderland along with Chelsea battle out their respective matches tonight. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Re: Potshot Parlour. .... not too bad for first attempt! Three winners from five with Arsenal (away) and Chelsea (home) letting the side down as both drew instead of forcing respective wins. The table below shows the latest position:- [TABLE] [TR] [TD=class: xl24][/TD] [TD=class: xl25][/TD] [TD=class: xl26][/TD] [TD=class: xl27, width: 64][/TD] [TD=class: xl28, width: 71][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: xl29][/TD] [TD=class: xl30][/TD] [TD=class: xl31][/TD] [TD=class: xl31][/TD] [TD=class: xl32][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: xl29][/TD] [TD=class: xl30][/TD] [TD=class: xl33][/TD] [TD=class: xl34][/TD] [TD=class: xl35][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: xl29][/TD] [TD=class: xl30][/TD] [TD=class: xl36][/TD] [TD=class: xl37][/TD] [TD=class: xl38][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: xl29][/TD] [TD=class: xl30][/TD] [TD=class: xl39][/TD] [TD=class: xl37][/TD] [TD=class: xl38][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: xl29][/TD] [TD=class: xl30][/TD] [TD=class: xl34][/TD] [TD=class: xl40][/TD] [TD=class: xl35][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: xl29][/TD] [TD=class: xl30][/TD] [TD=class: xl31][/TD] [TD=class: xl37][/TD] [TD=class: xl41][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: xl42][/TD] [TD=class: xl43][/TD] [TD=class: xl44][/TD] [TD=class: xl45][/TD] [TD=class: xl46][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Total Staked 50.00 Total Returned 48.62 Average Odds 1.63 Average Stake 10.00 Yield -2.76 No.Winners 3 No.Losers 2 Strike Rate 60 pc Current Bank 98.62 Profit/Loss -1.38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Re: Potshot Parlour. .... and for my next picks, we have five selections of which four of these are away, so could be make or break weekend! Norwich C (a) 3.60 Tottenham H (a) 2.10 2pts Manchester U (a) 1.61 Liverpool (a) 1.65 Arsenal (h) 1.23 Here's hoping.:hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Re: Potshot Parlour. .... Ok after that rather poor showing it is time to try and make amends with this group of selections thrown out by my spreadsheet:- Chelsea 1.27 Manchester C (a) 1.37 Southampton T 1.56 Sunderland 2.16 4 pts Manchester U 1.23 Onwards forever onwards.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
