Review for week ending 08/01/04

With the FA Cup third round matches being played at the weekend we were left with a number of mid-week Premiership matches on which to bet. These games produced five potential bets of which only two showed a small profit. Again the bookings made up low in matches where we would have expected some cards and overall the week showed a loss of �270 which reduces the total profit for the season so far to �2,160 (an average profit of nearly �150 per week). These potential bets are determined using the guidelines on the Weekly Reviews page.

	A buy of the Aston Villa corner supremacy over Portsmouth at 2.5 with Sporting Index (Soccer Spreads rating 3.7 - Makeup 3) for �50 per corner would have produced �25 profit.
	A sell of the bookings index in the Chelsea / Liverpool game at 38 with Sporting Index (Soccer Spreads rating 30.8 - Makeup 45) for �9 per point would have produced a loss of �63.
	A buy of the bookings index in the Bolton / Man United game at 30 with Spreadex (Soccer Spreads rating 37 - Makeup 20) for �8 per point would have produced a loss of �80.
	A buy of the bookings index in the Newcastle / Leeds game at 38 (generally available, Soccer Spreads rating 48 - Makeup 10) for �12 per point would have produced a loss of �336.
	A sell of the Newcastle supremacy over Leeds at 1.2 with Cantor Sport (Soccer Spreads rating 0.75 - Makeup 1) for �120 per goal would have produced �24 profit.

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). The bet size is determined by using the Excel spreadsheets which are sent to all members.
