footie system (sort of !)

[Guest sniper]

I am a regular footie punter and I av noticed that when u bet on a match in which the teams r equally matched(i.e. where the prob dist is very similar, maybe 5/4, 9/4, 7/4), it does actually pay to bet equal amounts on the fav and the draw. This seems to av a very high success rate (80%+). The best way is to maybe bet this way on 3 or 4 matches p/w .Although this system is of no use short term, over the course of the season it does show a nice tidy little profit. wot does everyone else think ?

Re: footie system (sort of !) From 3162 European league matches during 2000/01 to 2002/03 where home odds were 2.25 to 2.5, strike rate was 67% and profit over turnover was -9.9%. For home odds of 2.25 only (706 matches), strike rate was 71% and profit over turnover was -7.0%. Odds from William Hill online. Make of that what you will. ;)
