2008-04-30 18:28:00 No strange results in this week’s games after all; worth noting after all the hype that comes at this time of year. Birmingham nearly caused an upset - but didn’t. Although Fulham did win away at Man City, this result in itself is not too surprising given the recent form of both teams. ... More About: April , Results , Featured
Betting tips 28 April 08
2008-04-28 21:00:00 I have Derby at odds of 12.88 in the Balanced Fund to win this game which means a back bet at the current odds of 13 on the betting exchanges. Given the value of just 1% this leads to a very small bet and is not going to mean a move to Monte Carlo ... More About: April , Tips , Featured
Betting tips 27 April 08
2008-04-27 14:30:00 Excellent fun watching the relegation race and the goals go in one by one yesterday. Birmingham were 2-0 up at home to the mighty Reds, whilst Fulham were down 2-0 away at Man City and Bolton up 0-1 away at Spurs. Then it was musical chairs and all change. Fulham somehow stormed ...

2008-04-26 13:45:00 Quite a lot to think about in today’s games. Aside from the title race potentially being won today there are plenty of matches which have upset written all over them. Theoretically there are 7 teams fighting for the last 2 Premiership places still up for grabs for season 08/09. Each stands a ... More About: April , Tips

The Balanced Fund continues a steady and profitable path with a yield now just shy of 11% and strike rate of 70%. Weekly movement ... More About: April , Results , Featured

Betting tips 19 April 08
2008-04-19 13:41:00 It’s getting close to the end of the season now and this often means peculiar results. Whilst some teams will be trying 110% to avoid relegation or gain a European place, others will be winding down for the summer break. This can give the lower teams an opportunity to earn points where they never would ...

2008-04-17 20:17:00 Everton v Chelsea. Realistically Chelsea need maximum points from here if they are to stand any chance of catching Man United for the Premier League title. Whilst Everton haven’t lost at home in 2008 and are still chasing a Champions League place, Chelsea should ensure Everton don’t take all 3 points. We lay Everton according ...

2008-04-15 18:48:00 Respectable gains this week across the board as all 3 funds turn a profit. The Balanced Fund continues to impress with low variance in earnings week to week and a yield now standing at 9.49% after 122 bets. It also managed 9 winning match bets out of 10 in this weeks games.

2008-04-14 20:39:00 Final game of this week is Chelsea v Wigan. A foregone conclusion on the face of it. Chelsea v Wigan. This is probably down to how well Wigan can play. Chelsea must win to keep up with Man U so can Wigan really hold out? It’s unlikely but the exchange odds over-price Chelsea ... More About: April , Tips , Featured

2008-04-13 14:08:00 Good results yesterday. The yield on the Balanced Fund is back above 9% showing the quality of the earnings. A couple of great games today.

2008-04-12 15:21:00 No large discrepancies between the betting exchange odds and the algorithm’s odds today. The biggest risk is a lay bet of Middlesbrough at Spurs. A risk not only due to the exchange odds of 6 but also because Spurs can be so indifferent at times. Today?s Premier League betting tips are ... More About: April , Tips , Featured
Team ratings update April 08
2008-04-12 14:23:00 It’s been a while since I discussed the Premier League Team ratings on the blog.

2008-04-08 17:01:00 Results so far this week have seen the Trading Fund advance the most. A win on today’s game will see all Funds positive for the week. West Ham v Portsmouth.

2008-04-06 14:08:00 The results from yesterday’s tips split the Funds. Whilst the Trading and Aggressive Funds gained, the Balanced Fund sufferred a small loss. Ideally i’d prefer it the other way around since the Balanced Fund uses the pure algorithm in it’s latest form. Still, it was just a small loss and included 2 ... More About: April , Tips , Featured

2008-04-05 13:47:00 It’s the first outing of the new algorithm today since the changes made during the week.

2008-03-29 15:50:00 With no material bets backing favourites to speak of, today could be a very disappointing outcome. Coupled with the usual lay bet against Derby who could see their second win of the season losses could be big. Most of the value in today’s odds are in backing away teams which the funds don’t ...

2008-03-23 14:12:00 Another profitable Saturday with all funds posting gains. I was most pleased with the Sunderland win as the algorithm saw value in the Black Cat odds.

2008-03-19 20:35:00 Couple of the big guns playing tonight. Man U look to extend their lead over Arsenal while Chelsea could move above Arsenal if they can knock enough past Spurs. Apart from Bolton there’s not much value in the market’s odds tonight which is disappointing. All the odds look too short apart from Bolton where ...
