Nothing qualifying yet today although have certainly missed a potentiall expensive loser which until recently would have been a play. 1-0 Halden.

Morning Richard, I know you record and use odds a lot for your stuff. Do you get the odds post game at all? If so is there a pace you get those? just looking at it for something I'm testing and need to see if I have to be recording odds for each game as it kicks off.

Cheers in advance

Yes absolutely. It's what I rely on. Oddsportal.com

Updated results. Volendam was in outlier territory so not taken. Same with Start although both won.

Hoffenheim was in outlier territory and lost. A good start to the plan.

[Richard Latimer]

3/3 +£6.54 and 1 loser avoided in Hoffenheim

For Friday:

The leagues I have complete and utter faith in with relation to number of selections so far and win/loss ratio.

Also in red listed with criteria is the limit for certain criteria I will take. I've basically left 10 selections aside from the qualifying figure so I can stop blaming outliers when they happen and prepare for the possibility.

As the days, weeks, months and ultimately years go by, they will either become a fixture of be excluded on the basis that as soon as few more selections happened at these ends of the scale the they brought with them losses.

The difference now is that with those potential losses on paper they will no longer bring losses to the actual bank.

I am basically as prepared and ready to do battle as I could be!

Richard, why don’t you get one months membership of football bet data? It’s about £8 and you could back test this in a couple of days. Save yourself a lot of time and work to be fair.

How would I backtest according to ave book prices for overs?

I am going to hit Royal Pari if it stays like this however. LCS 1-0 in that one.

Easy win that one for a change and also good for the data as another win in Italy.

I just have to start seeing the big picture. Standing aside for a few when so many are proven anyway really shouldn't be the end of the world.

And it won't be long before more follow suit and can also be seen as proven.

Going to start the way I mean to carry on. As much as I believe there is another goal coming in Napoli, the home odds are quite low. I recently upped the limit to 1.22 but that means I only have a couple of good selections at this price point. If I want to start being more rsik averse then I have to let this one go until it is no longer an outlier.

[Richard Latimer]

Todays potentials. ITA Serie B 100% on the tracking only list but the other 3 should be find situation dependent as always.

[Richard Latimer]

New plan of attack starting today.

Not playing any leagues without at least 10 games of data and only then if all 10 games have been positive.

1 loss and I'll want 15 games before I pursue that league.
2 losses and I'll want 22 games before I pursue it again.
By this stage I would say we are starting to sort the wheat from the chaff and I doubt I'll have to do anything else but in the event of 3 losses I'll have to figure out an entry point to get back in.

@richard-latimer apologies, misunderstood what you meant

No worries. I probably wasn't very clear haha!

Had 3 overnighters go my way in the states and this month is in the green by 8 or 9pts if you were to look it at that way.

I should add though that after waking with fresh eyes this morning I was able to immediately look at the one thing I hadn't taken into account in Charlotte. Ave over 0.5 odds for H2 1.07. That was only the 7th qualifier at 1-0 and at 6/7 even if the average odds were only 7.0 (they wouldn't be) it's no better than break even.

For now I'll increase the minimum odds on this scoreline. The other thing to note is that from the 1.07 odds I did have all the previous winners were in leagues I would have to drop in a year or 2 anyway.

@richard-latimer instead of upping your limit for certain leagues which doesn’t sound a good idea in terms of a staking plan, just ditch the leagues your thinking of doing this for.

Quality over quantity

Don't mean in terms of staking at all. I meant number of matches and data I have.
