Three doubles in a row !

[Xtc12]

Update after a fabulous three days:

Overall

Year 2 :

Doubles:

The strike rate in year 2 is still up over 6,5% on the overall strike rate for GB.

Took nearly 4 months for the ROI for Ireland in year 2 to get steady in the positive (hopefully it will continue).

GB ROI in year 2 is double that for the whole of last year, 19.1%.

Anybody following the doubles has a Profit on Investment of 30.42%.

Onwards and up.
