Review for week ending 04/11/99

A mixed week with some results going very much against what was expected. Wimbledon's last minute equaliser against Southampton was disappointing as was Sheffield United's failure to even score at home to Huddersfield. These results together with a low number of corners in the Coventry / Watford game meant that we ended up with our first losing week since the start of the season with a potential loss of �112. However the total potential profit for the season so far is still a very respectable �5,441.

	A sell of the Chelsea mini performance against Derby at 31 with Sporting Index (Soccer Spreads rating 22.0 - Makeup 10) for �17 per point would have produced �357 profit.
	A buy of the Southampton mini performance against Wimbledon at 27 with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 35.3 - Makeup 25) for �12 per point would have produced a loss of �24.
	A buy of the time of the first Sheffield Wednesday goal against Leicester at 63 minutes with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 71.5 - Makeup 90) for �10 per minute would have produced �270 profit.
	A sell of the time of the first Newcastle goal against Arsenal at 66 minutes with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 55.8 - Makeup 90) for �12 per minute would have produced a loss of �288.
	A buy of the Sheffield United mini performance against Huddersfield at 24 with City Index (Soccer Spreads rating 30.4 - Makeup 0) for �12 per point would have produced a loss of �288.
	A buy of the Sunderland mini performance against Tottenham at 35 with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 42.7 - Makeup 50) for �12 per point would have produced �180 profit.
	A buy of the cross corners in the Coventry / Watford game at 27 with IG Index (Soccer Spreads rating 35.0 - Makeup 8) for �13 per point would have produced a loss of �247.
	A sell of the Liverpool supremacy against Bradford at 1.6 with City Index (Soccer Spreads rating 0.69 - Makeup 2) for �180 per goal would have produced a loss of �72.
