24 Oct Summary

Some disappointing results in the Premier League again, with Spurs loss at home to Stoke probably the biggest shock. I had Chelsea as 4 goal favourites to beat Blackburn, and nearly had a punt on the "Any Unquoted", but of course didn't. Had I done so, the result would have been 0-0, or at least, it sometimes seems that way. Burnley's home form deserted them, and they may still be in for a long season. Good results for the other promoted sides though, although Wolves draw cost me some cash. I was looking good for three minutes! Hull v Portsmouth was predicted a draw, but on paper only. C'est la vie.

The good news is that the Championship continues to show more consistency than the Premier League. Whether this is a blip remains to be seen, but including midweek, 10 predicted home wins have obliged, and the draw prediction accuracy isn't too bad with the running total being 4 of 10 so far. Away predictions are running at 100%, but don't get too excited - that was today's QPR win at Derby.

In the Championship the results were:

Home selections 3 from 5, with two Draws (Running Total 10 from 12, 2 Draws)
Draw selections 3 from 5, with two Away (RT 4 from 10, with 2 Homes, 2 Aways)
Away selections 1 from 1 (RT 100%!)

In League One the results were:

Home selections 5 from 7, with one Draw and one Away
Draw selections 0 from 3, with two Home and one Away
Away selections 0 from 1, with one Draw

In League Two the results were:

Home selections 6 from 8, with one Draw and one Away
Draw selections 1 from 2, with one Home
Away selections 0 from 1, with one Draw

For what it's worth, and on the basis of today's results, that's not too much, my expectations for tomorrow in the Premier League are:

Bolton v Everton Away win by 1 goal
Liverpool v Man Utd Draw
Man City v Fulham Home win by 1 goal
West Ham v Arsenal Away win by 2 goals

Finally, I never realised before today that the increments in the Asian Handicap are .01 - you learn something new every day.
