My other comment has got lost in blog space somewhere. <br /><br />I won’t write it again as I’ve mentioned it at the start of my post tonight instead. :) <br /><br />As for Rowan, I'm still in regular contact with him. The last I heard, he was still mulling over what direction he wanted to take the blog in and that's why he has taken a break. I agree completely with you that it would be a shame to see his blog disappear. <br /><br />Cheers for reading. <br /><br />GraemeGraeme Dandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508032031340730990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402442722321706627.post-88395813243045985092011-06-14T10:20:00.391+01:002011-06-14T10:20:00.391+01:00Hi Graham.
I've been an avid reader of your b...Hi Graham.<br /><br />I've been an avid reader of your blog since it was mentioned across at The Portfolio Investor blog.Before I comment,I was wondering if you have heard from Rowan about why the blog has stopped being updated?It was easily the most enjoyable blog in terms of tracking daily P&Ls and he had a gift for writing entertaining and informative posts.If the blog is gone,it will be sadly missed.<br /><br />I've been reading your thread on the SBC forum and I can see your frustration at the lack of posts on there.I would ask you to remain positive and I'm sure members are waiting to see what your next move is with the football service for your other systems.I followed a selection of football tipsters last season and I'd only give pass marks to Skeeve and Football Investor.Both services had a very good season and Skeeve in particular excelled himself once more.Aside from these tipsters,everyone else I followed had a poor season and I dont think I'll be alone in wanting to give your systems a go next season. <br /><br />I still have a few questions which I hope you can answer.I will also send my email address in a separate comment in case you prefer to not publish this post and reply via email.<br /><br />Looking at last season,the systems 6,7,8,21,22 all performed poorly compared to previous seasons.Do you think this was a one-off or would you say last season's results were indicative of what may happen next season?I dont understand why anyone would follow these systems next season after last season.<br /><br />Like many I assume,I will be concentrating on systems 6-21,6-22 and the like this season.Have you looked at how these 6 systems perform in a portfolio?If not, can you take a look.Can you also take a look at how systems 7-21,7-22,8-21 and 8-22 perform in a portfolio too please?I like these systems but I would prefer over 500 bets a season for a football system.<br /><br />You mentioned the idea of only backing homes on one of these systems as a possible way to achieve a high strike rate, 10%+ return. As you may already know,Football Investor runs a strike zone system featuring these types of bets (including bets from top European Leagues).Last season,it provided a very nice return for my portfolio.Can you look at devising a portfolio of home bets from the systems please that will generate around 200-300 bets at an ROI of 10%?Backing 50 homes in a season isn't a system I'd follow.<br /><br />I disagreed with a comment on your last post regarding leverage and the fact you don't get much leverage with these systems in a portfolio.Surely you would look at the performance of the portfolio and then calculate the betting bank as a result of the longest losing run the portfolio has encountered.You wouldn't do as you suggest and sum up the betting banks for each system.<br /><br />That's the main questions I have at the moment.I hope you can find the time to answer these.<br /><br />PeterPeternoreply@blogger.com
