palaceman Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: My Unders System Thanks for the very kind comments, guys. Having been at Watford v Palace last night, and seen two teams throw caution to the winds in search of a win, it's a risk carrying on for this season. But I will risk one final set of selections this weekend. I'm still in two minds whether to run the thread or not next season. To my mind, people who use a thread ought to, if only once, provide comments on it. I sometimes get a little miffed when I go on the thread and see the names of a few people using it at the bottom, who never contribute. I don't believe that is the proper way to use a Forum. I'll have to think about it. If I do go ahead next season, it won't be until all teams have blayed at least 7 or 8 matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addhesive Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: My Unders System Yep...again I can see where your coming from Palaceman but on a purely selfish note it would be a real shame for your devoted fans to miss out on your advice. It's the nature of the beast...but forums are full of people who look but don't contribute. As you say....it would be nice if they would just say "Hi and thanks" just to let you know that your appreciated (which I am sure you are by the way) BUT on the plus side at least you haven't got the "angry" poster who will slag off anyone and anything when things haven't quite gone according to plan!;) Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wettspou Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: My Unders System I can see what you mean, Palace. Speaking for myself I can say that I started following your Thread some 3-4 Weeks ago, since I have had a very long timeout of sports-betting and didn't really see how i could productively contribute to your thread. The few comments I made in other threads turned out to be quite obvious. Therefore I am always questioning myself whether my comments really CONtribute to threads or not ...

Do keep it up Palaceman, any system that returns a profit is worth doing. The small positive yield may by one reason why the replies aren't in great numbers. Have you considered tweaking your system to increase the profit, albeit with greater risk which as a punter I would prefer to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palaceman Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: My Unders System Thanks guys. Don't get me wrong. I'm not looking for lots of people to come on here to praise the results (although it's very nice when they do). I don't even mind people coming on here and offering constructive criticism - indeed, I welcome it, because it is worth giving thought to any comment made. I just feel that if people are taking, there should be some tiny bit of giving too, and anyone who regularly uses any thread should, at some point in the season, take the time to make a comment, whatever its content.

The small positive yield may by one reason why the replies aren't in great numbers. Have you considered tweaking your system to increase the profit, albeit with greater risk which as a punter I would prefer to see. Thank you Rooker. I don't think a yield of over 10% can really be called "small". I haven't checked through all the other threads on here (and it's certainly not a competition) but I would doubt that any more than a small fraction better that. So I'm quite happy with the yield. Bear in mind what I said in the very opening thread - this was not a system aimed at spectacular profits, but one which would gradually accumulate a number of moderate profits. I'm also very happy - indeed flattered - by the number of replies I do get. and 36 different people have contributed to the thread in its short lifetime, which is in itself terrific. I just wish that a few other people who I know regularly use the thread, because I see their names down the bottom when I'm using it, would very occasionally come on here and give us their own insight. But I don't want this to grow into too big an issue. I'm very grateful for all the wonderful contributions I've had from the three dozen people. On your final point, I did actually tweak the system (after carrying out a lot of research) around Boxing Day. The net result was to slightly reduce the win ratio by including a few "more questionable" selections, but to compensate for that with a few higher prices. That slightly different approach was, by and large, successful. But I'm not sure I'd want to increase the riskier selections any further than the point that my intensive research suggested I should go to :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumyat Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: My Unders System Hi PALACE, I have been following the thread with interest. I salute anyone who posts tips - but one of the battles for readers is to sort the wheat from the chaff. So I'll lurk on a few threads before trying to establish if there is any insight. There are many tipsters but all may not be ultimately worthwhile - it is punter beware. Your gentle writing style and profitable tips make this one of the higher grade threads.

Drawsandmore Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: My Unders System Hi PALACEMAN, I too regularly visit this thread, not to follow your tips, more for inspiration actually...If you and others on here are able to find an "edge" over those pesky bookmakers, I too can believe that I just might be able to do the same :lol I certainly consider a yield of 10% over a season to be anything but small, and it is definitely one of the best systems I've seen. Overs and Unders is not really my thing, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in seeing what can be done by someone else. In the same way, I don't bet on Muppet77's Corners system either...Corners and spread betting are not something I currently do, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate just how good it has been this year. Please continue to post your sytem picks for as long as you are able to. Like me, not everybody will follow them, but I would guess almost everybody will learn something positive from them.

Grex Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Re: My Unders System I'm another of the "guilty" ones :spank.

It's the nature of the beast...but forums are full of people who look but don't contribute..... Anyway, well done on developing a consistent system that produces excellent yield.

Hi Palaceman, I put my hands up to your comment about people checking out your advice but not having the curtesy to add anything, I have been going round various forums and simply did not have the time, there was no disrespect intended, your results have been pretty impressive, hope you conyinue in the new season.:) :clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relf Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Re: My Unders System Another one of the guilty ones checking in... :$ I do follow this thread but I haven't commented much largely because I'm not into Unders/Overs so I guess I don't have much to add, in terms of constructive criticism. No matter what, it's still a good system with more than 10% yield over 200 selections. So well done! :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palaceman Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Re: My Unders System The number of selections have reduced over the past few weeks. There are two reasons for this: 1. I made a couple of subtle alterations to the criteria a few weeks ago, anticipating that there would begin to be more goals as teams who would have settled for a draw, started to go in search of a win. The changes did reduce the number of choices, but have proved successful as we've had, I think, 5 winning weekends or midweeks on the trot. And I did monitor the matches I would have chosen had I not altered the criteria, and their inclusion would not, overall, have increased profitability. 2. As expected, teams have become more attacking, and this is reflected in Paul's ratings which form the backbone of my system, thus also resulting in fewer potential selections. Despite the above, I did have a few on the shortlist for this weekend, but then hit another obstacle. The bookies were offering particularly niggardly prices on my matches, and in most cases I could not obtain the value I require. If there is no value in the price, I don't make the bet. The result of all this is that, sadly, in this the last week of the system for the season, out of all the weekend's matches I only found one I could put forward :sad So, we'll all be watching out for this one to see if we end on a high: Portsmouth 1.86 (Betfair - commission already deducted in the price) :hope we end on a high.
