It appears that an end to the 149 day NBA Lockout is finally in sight, with a shortened 66 game season starting on Xmas Day, rather then the usual 82 game season. There are still a few legal hoops for the two sides to jump through, but the news is looking better than it has for a long time.
No winners from the two XX Draw selections this weekend, with Koln v Borussia Moenchengladbach finishing with a lopsided 3-0 for the visitors (I say visitors because I really can't be arsed to write out Borussia Moenchengladbach in full all over again), and today's selection of Bolton Wanderers v Everton was somewhat messed up with a 19' sending-off. It happens, and the ROI on the draw selections drops to 26.5% on the season with the only crumb of comfort this weekend coming from the Under 2.5 goals in this game, which was a winner at 2.16. The ROI on backing this option is now at 14.1%.
After 262 matches that have qualified as XX Draw Selections, I have had just two that finished as 3-3 draws. Geoff makes his debut in the Friendly Tipster League today, and in his first six selections, flukes not just one 3-3 draw, but two. First he picks Hertha Berlin v Bayer Leverkusen, and then the Airdrie v Arbroath match finished the same way.
Griff's Draw picking woes continue, with another two losses in the Norwich City v QPR and WBA v Tottenham Hotspur.
More matches still to come this weekend, and complete updates once the results are all in.
The imminent games at West Ham United (v Derby County) and Arsenal (v Fulham) are FTS selections (Lay The Draw) from the recuperating Ian Erskine.
Seems my earlier post about technical problems not happening only to Betfair was prescient, as Betfair had some issues themselves this afternoon.
About Me
- Cassini
- I have had a life-long interest in sports and after studying Pure Mathematics with Statistics at secondary school, have been fascinated by odds and probability. The first system I came up with was a simple one - back the favourite and double up after a loss until a winner. Simple enough in theory, and I told my Dad about it. Not being a betting man himself, he ran it by some of his colleagues, and came home to tell me that it wouldn’t work because a long losing run would mean that the bank would be empty. Then there was always the possibility that the winner would be returned at odds-on, meaning that the total returns would not match the outlay. Not what a ten year old wants to hear! Only slightly daunted, I then went on a search for the Holy Grail, the secret to riches that I knew was out there somewhere. Finally in 2004 I stumbled across an article about Betting Exchanges and four years later I was able to make a steady profit.
You could include the FTS selections in your Friendly Tipster League as backing the draw?
