    I read about the Kelly method and forgot about it.

    I had been planning a new strategy for Cheltenham around betting percentage of bank but if I go like the last few Cheltenham I will run into trouble getting what I want on come Thursday morning, only way is probably on betfair but my record with Betfair is terrible.

    When I get some time I will go through my bets from last year and see what would have worked best last year.

    Anyone else have bogie bookies?

    Goals aren't pitched as high as I imagined either.

    13/10 is completely wrong, win lose or draw

    Its an interesting dynamic of long term form versus short term form. Arsenal obviously the better team this season. United easily better previously. On talent of the players alone, who is better? United by a mile in attack, Arsenal by a mile in midfield with defense and goalie arguable. Given that they've priced basically every big premiership match up as a base of the home team being 5/4, that would look the right price (I'd personally say 6/5). However add in Arsenal have a 'soft' home advantage, and United have had a ridiculous record over them in recent years, then 13/10 starts to look fine. If I was forced to back one outcome it'd be the draw, then Arsenal in that order. Market looks spot on to me though

    Isn't it ironic. The Yanks send a man to Ireland to sort the parades issue in Ireland. Seems the parades disease must have latched onto the envoy before he boarded his flight for home and has spread to the US st paddys day parades. Maybe we should send an envoy to the US?

    Use Spurs as a common denominater. Arsenal around 2.04 to beat Spurs at home. That's very comparable to United, given that Arsenal were in better form then and Spurs have been slightly better this season than United. So have Arsenal as a base 2.04 and then factor in the ridiculous record United have over them, and 'reverting to the mean' given that Arsenal have over performed in the past 6 months whereas United have completely underperformed. 13/10 is slightly too big but it's marginal at best
