Football profit graph

Here is a graph to show that, using an average of odds from five different bookmakers, you would have made a profit by laying the home side with a £10 stake in every match for the 2008/9 season.














I won't reveal which line refers to each specific league, however, you can see that a profit would have been made for each and every league from the Premiership to League 2.

This is a common pattern throughout the previous 5 years, however, other European leagues do not show the same pattern.

Wimbledon 1st Round matches, Monday

To begin my Wimbledon predictions, here are Monday's matches and how I think they will result. I use statistics from the previous four years of this tournament, and I take an average of odds from five different bookmakers. I apply these odds and the results of the matches to this year's tournament. I additionally compare previous encounters between the players, their grass court form from the past 5 years, their form at Wimbledon and their matches this year.

I have not suggested a stake on these matches but for the purpose of calculating a profit for this blog I use a £10 back stake and a max. deficit of the same amount on lay bets.

Any matches not included are no bets.

I usually prefer not to bet on the pre-Grand Slam week of tennis, which is why I have not put any predictions on here for this week. There are also no stats for previous tournaments at one of the pre-Wimbledon tournaments.

However, Wimbledon starts next week and there will be many predictions on this blog for that.

French Open Final, Sunday

Robin SODERLING v Roger FEDERER Federer WIN @ 1.27
Federer's record against Robin Soderling is excellent, and while he may not have had the easiest matches on route to the final, Federer should win his first French Open today. Soderling's mental ability was wobbly against Gonzalez and Federer has more to his game to outthink the Swede.

Twenty20 cricket, Sunday

This has to be a bet, whatever the the odds. South Africa should eliminate Scotland from the tournament with ease.

South Africa v Scotland South Africa WIN @ 1.07

Total profit on a stake of £10 = 1.35

French Open Quarter-Finals, Tuesday

This is not an easy round to predict. There are a number of reasons for this. The lack of clear favourites in this round is unusual. These are the odds of the winners in this round over a period of four years.

1.03
1.04
1.04
1.04

1.10
1.11
1.30
1.56
1.60
1.64
2.16
2.28
4.18

As you can see, there are very few non-favourites winning their matches, but there are many at less than 1.1.

So for this round, an analysis of the player statistics becomes more important. Additionally, set betting seems the ideal choice.

Robin SODERLING v Nikolay DAVYDENKO No bet
Soderling and Davydenko is a very tough match to bet on. Considering that Davydenko is a 1.5s favourite and the player who is a real danger in this tournament I would think he should win this match. His return of serve should be an important factor in obliterating Soderling's power hitting. But there is a strong previous encounter favouritism for Soderling, who has beaten Davydenko convincingly on previous occasions. Davydenko has, however, a far better clay court record - and an impressive French Open record. He has been knocked out of the French Open by Federer, Nalbandian, Ljubicic and Puerta in four years. He has got to the semi-finals twice in that period. Soderling has been knocked out by Lee, Montanes, Nadal and Benneteau. He has never exceeded the third round. This is a toss of a coin. No bet.

Andy MURRAY v Fernando GONZALEZ Lay Gonzalez 3-0 @ 8.4
This is another close match which isn't easy to select a winner from. Gonzalez' form on these courts is good, but overrated. Murray's is improving but not convincing. Gonzalez will have to play a great game today to beat Murray and considering the way he has played in the tournament against lesser opponents, he should have the energy and ability to do that. I can't, however, see him winning it 3-0.
