@Alastair-Todd you make a good point and the set and forget variance won't be for everyone!

Just looking at the comments below about how rubbish the weekend trading was for many. I must admit that because my O1.5 filter has been throwing up some howlers recently, I slightly lost my bottle with it and decided to track it without trading. The net result yesterday would have been -17 pts, so I'm very glad I sat it out. Having said all that, I was trading the SHG when 0-0 at HT market (thanks Martin) and that is still going great guns - perhaps I feel I have a little more control over the trade than with a simple set and forget at KO. Not sure. I'm sitting out the three Turkish games on my filter today as Turkey has been a bit unpredictable - now watch them put in 12 goals between them!

@Ben-Dobie still 13 points down doubtful will recover
stranger things have happened -
@andrew-page weather was my main suspicion too tbh , glad it turned around for you
-
strangely enough weekend was good to me weather improved results improved nothing special + 3 points chunk of games unmatched goals too early before entry
Convinced weather caused the downswing -
Scrap that Jong Ajax game tonight, although its bound to come in now...

@Andy-Donnelly agree mate, small tweaks though like you say. It’s a hard graft this trading lark at times isn’t it, just when you think it’s cracked it throws a weekend like that at you and throws your mind into doubt, suppose that’s where the discipline side comes into it. Enjoy your deep dive
-
@Ben-Dobie Yeh agree. Looking at the data helps. I think some changes on my part will be needed as downswing was too big for long term viability. The challenge is always on when to make changes. Don’t won’t to over react.
-
@Andy-Donnelly sorry to hear that mate…. I got up early on Sunday to do the same thing , would have gone ok yesterday had Feyenoord scored that pen. I find a deep dive does help to ease the pain a bit even if we don’t always find what we want it gives us an idea as to what’s happening.. knowledge is power and all that.

I had a horrific weekend. Worst day for 6 months or so on Saturday followed by second worst day yesterday. Gonna do a bit of a deep dive today to dig into the detail
-
Yesterday's Results and 2 for today. I'm looking into the "No Bets", as I'm sure the bots should have placed some of those. I do have an odds restriction but they were minimal yesterday (1.10 or less for most of the Backs). Could be that the Overrounds or Back/Lay Odds ratio was out of kilter, which I can understand for some of those games, but sure AEK should have fired.

@Liam-Mcnee I have found the same with my O 1.5 and H2 goal strats mate … strange and frustrating
-
Nothing today and with 3 probably pretty empty days I'm hurtling towards a first month loser but it's only by just over 3pts and if I'd given in to temptation with so little available I'd be down loads.
-
@Ben-Dobie Something I've noticed with my under 2.5 strategy is that if it ever has a good month my over 3.5 always does poor and vice versa. Even though the selections are different, They've never had a good run at the same time.
-
Not got January to compare against but worst swing had
-
@Ben-Dobie I was 9pts up yesterday and 8pts up on Friday had a good month so far but I did have a period where I lost 10pts in a stretch. These ups and downs do happen especially with set and forget but if the strategy is good it does recover.
…. Feyenoord game killed me
