Re: Very Basic Football System...(Profit +11.18, Yield +8.87%) I missed a week which could be the explanation? :unsure Why take average odds when you can get best odds, Im confused. Cheers.

Re: Very Basic Football System...(Profit +11.18, Yield +8.87%) Thanks, it explains a lot (the system continues to be profitable with those missed matches, too). I think it would worth a testing that how often can you get those prices which are indicated in football-data's "Max" columns for Friday on say, Saturday. I think it can be a risk. And as it is the case in the financial markets, the heart of every sytem is not the hit rate but the proper risk and money control to be a winner in the long term. Thanks for your reply Spooner and keep up the good work!

I take the best price on offer but it becomes a terrible price sometimes at say 2.55pm on a saturday, For example if I backed them all with betfair on some of the games instead of getting 2.5 at the bookies 'best price' id get around 2.8/2.9 on there, So I think this thread could be in more profit if all bets were with 'betfair', even taking into account the commission. Cheers. :ok
