@Alastair-Todd infuriating when that happens, which game was this?

Oss v Mastricht: first goal after 9 minutes when I considered greening up (but didn't as I figured they had 81 minutes left to score one more goal) and then a missed penalty in the second half

@Akiva-Anderson That is true, everything is going up and I don't think it's going to stop.

I can't see how anybody stops increasing prices for anything, it's brutal out there.

One of the reasons why I think independently earning and spending your own money is the way forward unless you are incredibly fortunate or fancy breaking your back just to tread water.

Any job I could get that made me a part of the rat race again so to speak would barely cover bills let alone the extras that make life worth living.

Horrible games last weekend hopefully football wakes up today:

Among my over 2.5 split stake will be:

Walsall vs Tranmere
Freiburg vs Kiel
Hoffenheim vs Wolfsburg
Ajax vs Waalwijk

Over 1.5

Perth Glory vs Auckland
PSV vs AZ
Ross County vs Celtic

Part of the reason why Musk is going after Starmer is the Online Safety Act, which could lead to the government claiming 10-15% of the revenue of social media companies not sufficiently protecting users. The EU will likely toughen its stance, hence why Musk is going after German leaders and why France is strengthening its media laws.

He's becoming a bit of a Bond villain. I'm so sick of the youtube clips they try to get me to watch where people in the British media are discussing what that narcasist has had to say about everywhere other than the States.

@Tony-Hastie don't put yourself down! Sounds like you are already testing some good things. I really like that idea of it having to show on 2 out of 3 filters. They are all in profit so that is surely a good sign! Good work!

Tony Hastie

@Martin Not forward testing any, no. Im a bit useless in that department. Do have a profit/loss column for games I trade. For example, I have 3 FHG strategies if the same game pops up on at least 2 of them Ill trade it(low stakes). I do the same for O 1.5, SHG and correct score. All columns in profit at the moment...

Alastair Todd

Heartily bloody sick of matches where the first goal goes in after about 6 or 8 minutes and then nothing happens after that. And a penalty missed. They have one job - how difficult can it be!!

Martin

@Tony-Hastie haha brilliant yes that counts! Have you been forward testing them? I am looking at a handful that were doing well but I have not tested since August, so I am going to test them moving forward and see how they get on.

I've created a spreadsheet for anyone who wants to have a look at what I am doing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rO--lA-RazH6WrqV9ZflwRTJCPnACyFWO9e_wygEgmo/edit?gid=0#gid=0

I'll clean it up a bit as I go and make it easier to read.

Tony Hastie

@Martin Ive chucked a stack of strategies in the software from all parts of the internet(and some of my own) in anticipation of the football back testing....does that count?

Anyone been testing any of the old set and forget strategies recently?

Going to revive some of the strategies I was tracking last year that did well.

Ryan

@Richard-Latimer He is mental, he wields a lot of people now it's scary how much power he already has.

He is literally posting memes about the leader of the UK who are supposed to have a great relationship with his country and government of which is now part of. Mental.

Richard Latimer

@Ryan it's the idea of providing financial support (like he needs it) to probably the most dangerous man in the planet right now.

He can literally buy anything and anyone he wants right now. Talking about l liberating us from our tyrannical government like it's every day. And not an act of war.

All billionaires are shady. He is next level.

@Ryan said in *****New Football Thread*****:

@Richard-Latimer Its tricky because these football teams are deep rooted into communities that have certain beliefs.

It's not really the same with the US sports, we've seen that where they take the brand and basically move the team away from the place it's been rooted.

LA Rams for example. Among others.

They're already doing things that the communities don't want - like increasing ticket prices. 14 clubs in the Premier League are under American ownership.

@Akiva-Anderson not sure I could continue to support Arsenal if Kroenke sold to Musk.

Of course you could. Football teams are for life. Support the team, not the regime

It depends. Support the people trying to remove him yes. Support a far right wing despot no.
