Review for week ending 05/10/00

A flying start to the season with some excellent results on the mini performances (namely Everton's defeat at home to Ipswich, Tranmere's defeat at home to Crewe, Blackburn's defeat at W.B.A. and the late times of the first home goals in the Premiership). The only poor result was Bolton's defeat at home to Fulham when they failed to even score. Overall the total potential profit for the week came to �1,220.

	A buy of the bookings index in the Southampton / Middlesborough game at 42 (generally available, Soccer Spreads rating 49.9 - Makeup 40) for �7 per point would have produced a loss of �14.
	A buy of the aggregate time of the first home goals in the seven Premiership matches at 325 minutes with City Index (Soccer Spreads rating 340.4 - Makeup 427) for �6 per minute would have produced �612 profit.
	A sell of the Everton mini performance against Ipswich at 28 with either IG or Sporting Index (Soccer Spreads rating 22.3 - Makeup 0) for �13 per point would have produced �364 profit.
	A buy of the Bolton mini performance against Fulham at 20 with either IG or Sporting Index (Soccer Spreads rating 28.4 - Makeup 0) for �21 per point would have produced a loss of �420.
	A sell of the Portsmouth mini performance against Burnley at 15 with Sporting Index (Soccer Spreads rating 10.1 - Makeup 15) for �12 per point would have broken even.
	A sell of the Tranmere mini performance against Crewe at 31 with Sporting Index (Soccer Spreads rating 23.1 - Makeup 10) for �19 per point would have produced �399 profit.
	A sell of the Blackburn mini performance against W.B.A. at 23 with City Index (Soccer Spreads rating 16.3 - Makeup 0) for �16 per point would have produced �368 profit.
	A buy of the Man United performance against Arsenal at 50 with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 66.1 - Makeup 40) for �8 per point would have produced a loss of �80.
