Navigating The Lull

Not much going on this week, to be honest. The lull before the storm, with La Liga and the EPL joining Ligue 1 as the 2012-13 season gets underway. 

A chance to catch up on a few comments, and one from George was appreciated, as he wrote:

Liked your Elo articles. Very skilful navigation of the topic!

Old friend Al commented on the Expected Value post with these words of wisdom:

all gobbledygook to me, i whack my cash down depending on what time of the month it is and whether the missus is in a good or bad mood.

Prompting a shy commenter to say:

Hahahaha, insightful from 'AL', obviously an experienced trader!

Indeed, until recently I was under the misguided impression that the time of the month was irrelevant for trading, but this is the type of useful information only known to professionals it would appear. With the end of the month fast approaching, it's time to begin furling the jib and lowering the mainsail.

Al also commented on my football trading post :

i thought we were going to get the holy grail of when to trade out of your position - a future post maybe?

There will certainly be some more written on this topic in the not too distant future, but there is no Holy Grail, although pretending there is might be a great way to garner more hits! 

Elected into the FTL (Friendly Tipster League) during the summer was Neil, and his first two selections of the season are:

West Ham United v Aston Villa - Draw @ 3.5

Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur - Draw @ 3.5 

We also have Al's draw selections which are:

Arsenal v Sunderland @ 4.9

Wigan Athletic v Chelsea @ 4.1
