A busy Christmas football programme produced a large number of betting opportunities, most of them on the bookings indexes. An excellent start with Leeds losing at home and only two cards shown in the Liverpool / Arsenal game was somewhat undone a few days later when Arsenal thrashed Leicester 6-1 at Highbury. Overall the total profit for the week came to �452 which now means that the total potential profit for the season is �5,104 (an average of �392 profit per week).

A sell of the bookings index in the Liverpool / Arsenal game at 42 with either IG or Sporting Index (Soccer Spreads rating 30.6 - Makeup 20) for �14 per point would have produced �308 profit.

A sell of the Man United supremacy over Ipswich at 1.5 with either William Hill or City Index (Soccer Spreads rating 0.74 - Makeup 2) for �210 per goal would have produced a loss of �105.

Please note that potential bets are only recorded if the difference between the Soccer Spreads rating and the best spread available is at least a quarter of the spread volatility (e.g. in order to bet on the total corners in a Premiership match the difference between the Soccer Spreads rating and the spread being offered must be at least 0.9). All recorded bets are based on a 'Medium' base unit stake which is then adjusted depending on how much the Soccer Spreads rating disagrees with the spread being offered (for a full explanation see 'How to use Soccer Spreads').
