I maybe shouldn’t have been so strong in my initial postings on your footie thread but I think you actually had a lot of good ideas generally. As I’ve said before, I don’t hold any grudges at this game and life’s too short for that sort of thing anyway!<br /><br />Enjoy your summer mate and battle can commence next season again.<br /><br />So everyone knows, I’ll probably enter Atletico Madrid next year instead of Barcelona tbh, I clearly missed the fact Barcelona have gone off the boil a bit and they aren’t as good as they once were. I would name all my systems as footie teams but given the number of systems, I'd have to use Sunday League team names at some point! :)<br /><br />GraemeGraeme Dandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508032031340730990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528393111359731672.post-32633675327857592062014-05-21T15:47:08.806+01:002014-05-21T15:47:08.806+01:00Again big thanks to Cassini for running this, it h...Again big thanks to Cassini for running this, it has been a hoot.<br /><br />Fair Play to Graeme in coughing up his hard earned, we don't exactly see eye to eye but he has sort of grown on me as the season has progressed :-)<br /><br />The Barcelona of the competition turned out to be more of a Barnsley but hey as I finished bottom I am in no position to throw any stones :-)<br /><br />I am looking forward to next season already. <br /><br />Neil<br /><br />Lay Awayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234182159975184328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528393111359731672.post-60777164335292898272014-05-21T13:51:34.097+01:002014-05-21T13:51:34.097+01:00Thanks again for running this league this season C...Thanks again for running this league this season Cassini. I’ve sent £125 via paypal this morning. Well done to those in the league who wiped the floor with my returns this season. £125 seems like a result tbh considering the start I had! £400 was a possibility for much of the season. <br /><br />The ‘official’ results for the Cassini system this season was only 3.4pts profit for a 0.85% ROI. For comparison, this system ranks 34th out of 53 systems in terms of returns this season (inc the Cassini system along with 52 other systems). The Cassini system was supposed to represent a fair reflection of the service and I think this worked to an extent. It certainly mirrored the ups and downs the systems as a whole experienced through the season although the final results were probably a little bit lower than on most other systems but the Cassini system seemed to have more than its fair share of bad breaks during the season. That’s what happens over 400 bets.<br /><br />I think the 14pts gap between the Pinnacle prices on a Friday afternoon and Thursday evening is what I didn’t really expect this season although as always, it’s obvious with hindsight. Given how much the odds move on my teams on a Thursday evening, the market hasn’t rebounded by Friday afternoon and therefore, I think Friday afternoon is probably a low point for my bets in terms of the odds. Saturday morning odds are when my bets tend to rebound a little if they are going to rebound. <br /><br />For me to perform well in this league with the odds quoting on a Friday afternoon, I think I’d need to have a very good season but it won’t stop me from trying. The key for me is to try to get the best system or systems in the league and therefore, I expect I’ll use an actual TFA system next season in the league rather than a made up system. Will at least allow people to get a better flavour of the service although this league should always understate the return. <br /><br />Happy to contribute something towards a prize pool again for next season. Don’t fancy getting into a bidding war but something like this season would be OK for me I think. £25 for everyone who beats me up to a max of £500. Given the issue with the odds quoting for my particular bets, I suspect break-even in this league isn’t a bad result each season for me! Surely anyone can devise a system based on Friday afternoon odds to beat a break-even system. ;)<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Graeme<br />Graeme Dandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508032031340730990noreply@blogger.com
