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.
