African Cup, Monday Update and Free Football Lay System

First off, it was a good solid start to our Friday Football Tips spot, with Swansea obliging at value odds of 13/10. Unfortunately our lay went down when Reading missed a penalty and cost us 0.75 points but we ended with 0.55 points profit, over 30% ROI. There will be another couple of tips on Friday.

For me the Africa Cup of Nations has been disappointing. No invention, no pace, no decent set plays. The poor quality pitches aren’t helping and generally all the high profile players have been well below standard. I had been worried about the African nations at the World Cup 2010 and thought they had a good chance of making inroads. Having seen every match, in my opinion, there is nothing there to be worried about. There has not been one decent side on show, Egypt have shown up best but they are not even at the World Cup. On this evidence, an African team will not win the World Cup.

As far as the selections have gone in the first week, we are not looking too bad. I posted Angola, Ivory Coast, Egypt and Cameroon as the group winners and with the final round of matches to go, 3 of them are top of their groups, with only Cameroon, who I cast as overall winners, sitting second. So if you did get on these you are in good shape and if you formed them into an acca you are in even better shape.

For the past 4 days I have been trialling a soon to be launched product called “Psychic Soccer Profits“ and I have to say it has been interesting to say the least. This service is not going to suit everyone. It is an “in-play” lay service, which means you have to be at your computer during the matches. During a busy weekend this could mean being on hand for up to 8 hours. Selections are e-mailed through and to get the price you have to immediately be onto the exchanges to lay it.

You don’t know which matches you are going to be playing on beforehand, as it all depends on how the matches pan out. Suffice to say though, that we have had 4 winning days on the trot and increased the bank by 25%. They are still streamlining the system and it does need quite a bit of work yet before launch. I will keep you posted.

Over on the Tutorial side of the Football section I am posting a lay system (Football Lay Devil) which some of you may have seen being discussed on the forum. It is a very simple but very effective system that has a 87% strike rate over the last 5 weeks, returning above 10% ROI, which is excellent for a lay system. It is well worth a look and you can test it out, it costs nothing and just takes minutes to go through even a very busy Saturday. Have a look on the Tutorial section.
