A new darling amongst Paul Steele's betting systems ?

[Guest DJFLEECER]

Morning folks, Having bought and read Paul Steele's last 2 books, I am finding myself frustrated at the lack of background surrounding the 15 highlighted betting systems. I have a system of my own, and using Steele's criteria of using only the top 700 matches over 5 seasons , I find that my system produces much better results for homes and aways (draws coming a respectable 5th place). Having said this, I don't claim to be bashing the bookies every week - I just spend a hell of a lot of time recording and detailing analysis to further enhance my current offering. I'll cut to the chase, the system is already producing a 69.78% prediction rate for homes, 30.86% for draws and 48.36% for aways (based on the above criteria). To me, this appears to a base upon which to work - the goal being to market and sell my system as a prediction tool. I have no idea if systems are patentable, how much they sell for, where to sell them etc... I've no doubt that some of you have already explored these avenues ? Any pointers would be gratefully taken on board. Mick.

Re: A new darling amongst Paul Steele's betting systems ? Nobody sells a system that works (i.e. produces consistent long term profits), they use it to fill their boots. Any such system put in the public domain would in short time be defeated by odds adjustments. The bookmakers would simply buy a copy of the system and adjust their prices accordingly. End of system. You will get some sales as there are always people willing to buy out of curiousity and hope but I don't think anyone could live on the income produced. To sell you would need to provided internet updates, people simply do not expect to have to type in data every week in this connected day and age. That means an ongoing commitment on your part. I don't know about patents but you would have copyright on your software. Typically these programs sell for between £10 and £40. Strike rate alone does not mean anything. A 70% strike rate on homes will produce a loss if the average odds are less than 1.42.
