It would be interesting to see how ChatGPT 5.4 does with this. It does seem very good for research and finally seems to avoid making stuff up for the sake of giving you an answer.

Same again for Europa league tonight, I'll likely monitor from HT onwards and see where the jeopardy is....

Shannon Townsend

@Andy-Donnelly Laying the draw and letting it run in all group games where draw price was below 4 would have made you nice profit... seems like teams really go for it in the new format.

@Shannon-Townsend said in *****New Football Thread*****:

Saw a youtube video floating around about backtesting being nearly there... got a date for us @Martin

No date specifically but Beta is about 99% ready

Ryan

@Alex-Rendell 100% always!!

Alex Rendell

@Ryan Alisson's header was better though, right?!

Ryan

@Andy-Donnelly I love the new format, I know the old format was loved etc... but it allowed teams to coast through, like Real Madrid for example they could basically coast all season till Feb then get serious, where as now its like oh now you gotta turn up.... I think it's great!

That Benfica goalkeeper wow

Stephen Hancox

@Andy-Donnelly It took some patience, but 2nd half I saw PSV, Ajax, Napoli and Bilbao games all drawing and goals were needed for qualification, some great LTD opportunities there.

Andy Donnelly

Whether you are a fan of these new European formats or not, the last day makes for great trading opportunities. Albeit a small sample size, the last days of last season and this, have been great for SHG particularly for games when both teams need to win. Will be looking for opportunities tonight at HT. Expect there will be quite a few

Alex Rendell

@Shannon-Townsend Looks like next week for the beta testing if today's email is anything to go by

Shannon Townsend

Saw a youtube video floating around about backtesting being nearly there... got a date for us @Martin

Ryan

@Richard-Latimer Agreed! I still dont think united will be back they are still united and theres a fair bit of work to do yet... they'll likely get champs league.

Richard Latimer

@Ryan amazing goals but we beat ourselves yesterday. Painful.

Ryan

@Richard-Latimer I dont know its still united lol
