So I separated out apertura from clausura in Paraguay, Ecuador and Peru to very good effect.

Richard Latimer

In any case internet is in and out but enough for me to update. 1 in the recently reinstated Danish 1st Division tomorrow.

Hope everyone got the Cost Rican game yesterday.

Nothing for Wed. I'll update again Wed night for Thursday all being well.

During my excile from being able to properly use the tinternet I've been thinking about both the Paraguayan and the Ecuadorian leagues. Seems to me that the wheels only well and truly came off in the 2nd part of the season. By that I mean that these teams as many in South America play 2 leagues per season to decide whether they qualify for the final stages. In Paraguay it's an Apertura and Clausura while in Ecuador it's simply Stage 1 and Stage 2.

@Adam-Williams Could it be possible at some point to seperate these out so as to be able to filter them through the stats page?

I can filter them myself but would be good to see if any value could be found in the 2nd half of each season by viewing as an independent thing entirely.

Richard Latimer

Crappy connection borrowing neighbours wifi but I'm on.......sort of.

Paraguay who oh why???

Fall from grace every bit as spectacular as Ecuador and South American leagues now look to be a real 'don't touch with a barge pole' scenario.

Paraguay just about holding on by a thread at a little over 5% but I'm counting the days for the end of that league now.

What was once by far and away the best league has crashed in style!

Richard Latimer

Sheet is updated but I forgot to post. In any case....f*****g Paraguay! 2nd half of that season has been shite!

Richard Latimer

And nothing tomorrow either

In the meantime it seems there is one selection tomorrow in Romania 2 which I almost missed as team name has changed. In stats filters it is still coming up as Juventus Bucuresti when in fact they are now going by ASC Daco-Goretica or some such.

Sweet

Moving into a new build on Friday where there's no phone line and no confirmation of how soon it's going to be connected. Going to need as much help as possible on this if anyone wants to offer their services?

@Adam-Williams can you please add my scores early doors filter to member filters?

Richard Latimer

Only a couple tomorrow but neither falling within filtered limits. Singapore may well get there but I'm starting to play this more cautiously for now. Only one loss but until yield hits 3.5% I'm staying out.

Richard Latimer

In case anyone wondered there was nothing for today on the filtered side which is good as it gave me a chance to do some work on it.

More big changes but these aren't knee jerk reactions. More along the lines of filters I've been looking at from day one to potentially improve things. I just didn't want to pull the trigger too early.

S/r and yield for anything bang on 80% over 1.5 had continued to go up and down and was no more than 77% s/r and 1% in the black after around 40 selections. Today I deleted them.
When criteria's 5,6,7&8 totalled to anything between 300-304 the results were pretty toilet on the whole. These have been removed so starting point is now 305 combined.

Not only has it made a difference to overall yield and profit but it has also made quite a difference on some of the leagues.

There are leagues which were bad and that point has been hammered home further.

There are leagues which were hovering and have now made the transition to full on crap!

There are leagues which appeared to have made a good start only to stumble of recent which have had that fast start taken away so they are all the way in the red.

There are leagues which were in the red but not massively which have been ever so slightly rejuvenated.

An then there are the leagues which looked good before and despite losing a few a winners or a couple of losers still look great!

Some leagues with only 1 or 2 selections anyway have been removed from the picture entirely for now.

Anything above 3.5% yield is listed in filtered and anything under that is for now only in the main sheet. These amendments have seen s/r shoot up to over 90% and yield to just under 15%. I'm not crazy enough to believe it will stay there but it does appear as though I have made the right call in the interim at least.

@richard-latimer I love the MLS so glad its back on, interesting that some of the leagues where you expect these to fly have been nosediving.

In terms of leagues where there have been 10+ selections based on highest yield now then Costa Rica is currently running away with it. After that it's the SPL and Fin Veikkausliiga.

Sheet updated. Got some overnighters in the states. MLS is back up over 4% yield so for now it's in.
