@Martin What I don't understand is why the FA isn't getting involved with streaming this themselves, they say they want to support grassroots football and develop the game, a gamepass style membership of the premier league would make them so much money it would be crazy.
Met a guy at a wedding who worked as a video editor on the cricket for Sky Sports and he said that the whole of Sky was basically for the football and everything else had to make do. They spend so much to get the football and it basically keeps everything else going.

@Akiva-Anderson nuts isn't it. Apparently people wouldn't go to the games if it was on TV but we know that isn't true, especially in the Premier League.

Three premier league matches kicked-off at 2:00pm. Only one of them on TV. It’s an absolute travesty. Why should Skysports be dictating what we watch? Outside of the UK can choose which match they want to watch. I’m actually f*****g sick of it

@Akiva-Anderson you had any luck getting the AI to analyse the data on your sheets?
Haven’t even looked at it yet.
I've not had any luck with it yet, can't wait for the day I can just chuck a sheet into it and simply say tell me top performing leagues.

I went for a SHG in the Lyon v Toulouse match. 0-0 at HT
Looking like this will finish 0-0. Bizarrely, both teams look happy with a draw

Loved that Newcastle v Bournemouth match. Didn’t see that result coming. I expected a draw

@Mark-Maguire couple of questions on these, are there any odds you avoid? I know you don't mind short odds, just wondering how short. Also, how do you further refine the games from the list you get from your filters?
Thanks

@Akiva-Anderson I did a video on the YT channel yesterday using AI to give suggestions of stats to use for an over 2.5 goals strategy, I was impressed with the answer!
AI is turning me into a very lazy person!!
