Ah, thats different. Anyway the argument at the start of the season was that making money from the bookies was easy. I always thought it wasnt and I think we can see that that is true.

Where do you get your handicaps from? I've noticed a couple of times that yours are more favourable by a couple of points than anything quoted on odds comparison sites.
Your absolutely pathetic at times Paul, would it kill you to give people a little credit.
I won a fair bit on Higham start of year so yes your right but i since lost nearly all profit and was down to £20 because Wires71 commented "you will be in debt this week if you don't win", I'm keeping my record in my Sig for god sake you cant ask for fairer than that and if you had been watching it then you would have seen the overall profit going up and down pretty much constantly.
I shop around for my handicaps, using Totesport and Ladbrokes the most, Les Boyd and LiveWired always seem to quote Bet365 handicaps but as i have proved this week, Ladbrokes have Wire +2 instead of scratch, last week they had Wire -14 instead of -16 and i'm always going to take the easier handicap, Ian Millward found Wire -12 from somewhere against Celtic so it's all about shopping around.
JWP, your also right i won £125 on Higham but lost all the money in four weeks of losing bets and was down to £20 which means that my £110 profit that i'm now showing has been won from handicap bet's only as i stopped doing first try scorers in round 3 or 4 and as ive said above all my bets can be seen in this thread before the match has been played, i cant be any fairer than that sir.

The +12 Celtic would have been 365 who come out weds morning,thats who Millward uses for his prices.
tbh,I only use supersoccer,stan james and betfred.Its very rare I use lads,hills,corals as they have no opinions of their own and lay marks to within 2 points of skybet and 365 who are normally the 1st out.
I prefer to bet on the lower leagues,where I find it easier to get an edge than superleague,where any idiot can produce ratings.Personally I find it easier to stick to certain teams if possible,eg Workington,Hunslet,Sheffeld and avoid teams like Warrington,Hull fc and Bradford who's form? does'nt stack upto my ratings. Skolars were a team to take on,but since forming an alleigance with Harlequins,reckon the starts for the next few matches,could be too big.

Anyway this weeks game will be close and shouldn't require much money, I'm dropping my bet £11 from last week and I'm going with £22 on Saints of Scratch @ 10/11.
