Review for week ending 23/12/99

Another excellent week with six winning bets and only three losing bets. It was a pity that Sheffield Wednesday scored so early at Villa Park and also that Queens Park Rangers had a player sent off. Even though West Ham got 'hammered' 4-2 we still showed a small profit on the buy of their mini performance and the bets on Bradford, Blackburn and Leeds all produced the expected profits. These results together with the succesful sell of the West Ham / Man United bookings index meant that the potential profit for the week added up to �1,621. This raises the total potential profit for the season to �10,075 (an average of over �700 profit per week).

	A buy of the Bradford mini performance against Newcastle at 27 with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 34.8 - Makeup 55) for �12 per point would have produced �336 profit.
	A buy of the West Ham mini performance against Man United at 24 with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 30.5 - Makeup 30) for �10 per point would have produced �60 profit.
	A buy of the Q.P.R. mini performance against Charlton at 19 with either Sporting or IG Index (Soccer Spreads rating 25.0 - Makeup -5) for �11 per point would have produced a loss of �264.
	A sell of the time of the first Coventry goal against Liverpool at 65 minutes with either William Hill or IG Index (Soccer Spreads rating 57.1 - Makeup 90) for �9 per minute would have produced a loss of �225.
	A buy of the time of the first Sheffield Wednesday goal against Aston Villa at 62 minutes with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 70.5 - Makeup 20) for �10 per minute would have produced a loss of �420.
	A sell of the aggregate time of the first Away goals in the Premiership at 540 with City Index (Soccer Spreads rating 519.2 - Makeup 386) for �4 per minute would have produced �616 profit.
	A sell of the bookings index in the West Ham / Man United game at 56 with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 46.5 - Makeup 10) for �10 per point would have produced �460 profit.
	A sell of the Blackburn performance against Sheffield United at 69 with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 53.7 - Makeup 10) for �10 per point would have produced �590 profit.
	A buy of the Leeds performance against Chelsea at 26 with City Index (Soccer Spreads rating 37.6 - Makeup 78) for �9 per point would have produced �468 profit.

Please note that bets are only recommended if the difference between the Soccer Spreads rating and the spread being offered is at least twice the margin between between the top and bottom of the spread (e.g. in order to bet on a bookings index the difference between the Soccer Spreads rating and the spread being offered must be at least 8 points, in order to bet on a mini-performance index the difference between the Soccer Spreads rating and the spread being offered must be at least 6 points). The unit stake is determined by dividing the volatility of the spread into 210 (see the 'Medium' stakes in the sample unit stakes table) and then adjusting this base unit stake depending on how much the Soccer Spreads rating disagrees with the spread being offered (for a full explanation see the page 'How to use the Soccer Spreads Ratings').
