Review for week ending 30/11/00

Spread betting can be very volatile and punters must learn to take the rough with the smooth. Unfortunately this week was the roughest ever! The early strikes of Aston Villa and Bradford together with Arsenal's unruly display at Elland Road meant that we were always looking at huge losses. Some relief was at hand with Man United's 3-0 victory at Derby but overall the week produced a thumping loss of �1,179. This reduces the total potential profit for the season to �3,859 (still an average of nearly �430 profit per week).

	A buy of the bookings index in the Charlton / Sunderland game at 32 with City Index (Soccer Spreads rating 42.1 - Makeup 10) for �12 per point would have produced a loss of �264.
	A buy of the Man United supremacy over Derby at 1.3 (generally available, Soccer Spreads rating 1.74 - Makeup 3) for �120 per goal would have produced a profit of �204.
	A buy of the bookings index in the Southampton / West Ham game at 28 (generally available, Soccer Spreads rating 35.8 - Makeup 30) for �9 per point would have produced �18 profit.
	A buy of the time of the first Sheffield Wednesday goal against Coventry at 57 minutes with IG Index (Soccer Spreads rating 70.7 - Makeup 81) for �12 per minute would have produced �288 profit.
	A sell of the Home / Away supremacy in the eight Premiership games at 1 with Spreadex (Soccer Spreads rating -1.04 - Makeup -2) for �60 per goal would have produced �180 profit.
	A buy of the time of the first Aston Villa goal against Coventry at 53 minutes with IG Index (Soccer Spreads rating 62.0 - Makeup 8) for �8 per minute would have produced a loss of �360.
	A buy of the time of the first Bradford goal against Middlesboro at 62 minutes with City Index (Soccer Spreads rating 70.1 - Makeup 3) for �7 per minute would have produced a loss of �413.
	A sell of the bookings index in the Leeds / Arsenal game at 46 with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 32.7 - Makeup 80) for �16 per point would have produced a loss of �544.
