Xtc12 Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Update : Overall : The Irish selections are not doing well now for a while but have to be happy with the GB results still showing a profit after 1273 selections. Overall still in profit. Year 5 : This is something similar to the overall picture but I am still waiting / hoping that GB will take off as the Strike Rate for Year 5 is up around the overall Strike Rate. Doubles : If you had been doing the double since the start the results look something like this : Edited May 22, 2021 by Xtc12 Remove table gbettle and MCLARKE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
