Strip out the bookmaker margin and home advantage for our game at Bradford and the betting markets are saying that ourselves and Bradford are rated pretty much the same. They had us about +0.3 goals better than Orient and again about 0.3 goals better than Orient. They think we are a mid table team and I agree. Our underlying numbers have largely been mid table all season. TLT cost us around 0.25 goals per game which made a huge difference to results during that period. Having a competent keeper has really stabilised things. Under performance vs expectation in both boxes meant that points didn’t align with expected points. Improvement in the squad and a bit of variance reverting to the mean is culminating in an improved points return.
With last nights game on Sky, spread betting firm Sporting Index had a variety of markets. Was surprised in the goal scorer minutes market to see Owen Bailey have a small spread of 6-9 minutes. I bought at £3. The market a settled at 83 minutes (34 + 49) minus the 9 I bought at 74 in total. 74 x £3 a nice £222 profit thanks to captain fantastic.
