@Alastair-Todd I know the feeling.

On the flip side, laying Man Utd when they are favs is proving very fruitful at the moment. Thought they were too short again today and already greened up when Brentford went 2 up, happy days!

[Alastair Todd]

Two really annoying things:

1. It always seems to be the last trade of the day that loses, wiping out most of your profit.

2. You lose your Over 0.5 goals at HT and then they score in the first 2 minutes of the second half!!

@GREGORIOS-KARASHIALIS You will be able to backtest any strategy idea and it will backtest it for you.

Martin and I are working on some AI stuff as well

We have a football and a tennis thing we are working on.

[GREGORIOS KARASHIALIS]

@Ryan I’m actually excited ….. I think you know me by now…… how will it help me trading goals ?
Help me build new strategies? Is it AI driven ?

Great stats for a fhg in the Braga v feyenoord games. Fhg in last 10 for home and last 19 games for away. Odds approaching 1.7.

@Ryan said in *****New Football Thread*****:

@Akiva-Anderson get on ok? I havent been keeping up with Lincoln recently, I do hear they are doing great mind

Too early to say. Both teams are top of the league, but are squad players at this moment in time. Hope to see them get more game time over the next few weeks

[Ryan]

@Akiva-Anderson get on ok? I havent been keeping up with Lincoln recently, I do hear they are doing great mind

[Akiva Anderson]

@Ryan I see there were two on loan Lincoln players on the bench for the Coleraine vs Glentoran match on Friday. Zane Kola Okoro came on for Coleraine and MJ Kamson-Kamara for Glentoran

[Ryan]

Ahhhhh @Adam will kill me if I say anything, just that we are at the final stages.
