Been a really rough weekend. Can only minimise a loss now.

Definitely losing out a little today but I know it's the right thing to do.

Vietnam obviously won
Looks like Italy women is going to win
Tunisia will probably win.....but it's gotta go. No volume or liquidity.

I tell a lie, Italy women a nice miss.

[Richard Latimer]

The liquidity and volume aren't there for women's football yet so I'm going to give it a miss...... for now.

As it grows I reckon that may change so still collecting data on this league.

[Richard Latimer]

I won't be bothering with Nam

@Akiva-Anderson they do this every so often. Like when they suddenly dropped the Polish 2nd tier but still had the 3rd tier. Then they tried to tell me the 3rd tier was actually the 2nd tier. Sure sure....

[Richard Latimer]

Here's the next lot:

The way I'm getting rid of crappy leagues I can't guarantee I'll be trading Vietnam (posted prev) or Tunisia. Depends on volume being traded and available I would imagine.

Betfair really not liking Northern Ireland at the moment. Glentoran was a miss for sure.

Haven’t been in-play at all this season

[Richard Latimer]

Typical it's going to be a winner in Malaysia but this needs to be done ahead of time for any leagues with almost no history on this where volume is poor.

[Richard Latimer]

No market in Glentoran either so it's just going to be the one today and a few tomorrow morning.

I'll post up the next lot after the Arsenal game.

[Richard Latimer]

Malaysia is going to be the latest to be culled and taken off the sheet.

1. Volume is crap
2. The last selection in Malaysia went from being well over evens to 1.36 - That's not right even if it did allow me to strike it off as being under minimum odds cutoff.

[Richard Latimer]

Some quite low odds so don't think a sweep is on the cards this time.

[Richard Latimer]

Lyon clawed back to 1-1 in spite of VAR. Crusaders couldn't quite manage that:

[Richard Latimer]

So we start the month laying 2 favourites currently in a higher league position than the away team. Not a fan but sticking to what has worked up to now and I've not tracked league position:

I've actually reset my stake following the poor end to last month even though rules are 35% loss before doing that. With things at such a crucial stage it just seemed right.

[Richard Latimer]

@Akiva-Anderson I actually thought it would be really stressfull but somehow it's not.

First few trades were nerve wracking. After that it became normal for want of a better word.

It certainly snowballs alot quicker.

I definitely take fewer risks. A few years back playing with £'s and pence I would have laid the South African game. I'm now looking at the bigger picture.

[Akiva Anderson]

Isn't it easier when you use a big bankroll? I certainly think it is.

[Richard Latimer]

The one selection was tonight in Bolivia. A 1-5 winner regardless so that's good to see.

[Richard Latimer]

What I should have said is 2 potential selections left. One doesn't qualify after looking which just leaves the one in an untested league.

I'll take a look at Friday tomorrow.
