Racing & Football Outlook September 27-October 3, 2011 I posted a few of my Premier League numbers online last week and received a lot of comments in reply regarding the teams who appear to be making good on the temporary (or otherwise) decline of Arsenal. There is plenty that could be said for many...
RFO Index columns
These are columns that have featured as my weekly columns in the Racing and Football Outlook each week
LONG-TERM FORECAST SAYS PAIN FOR DONNY
Racing & Football Outlook September 20-26, 2011 THE Premier League aside, relegation markets are usually pretty dead affairs but that doesn’t mean I don’t look at them. Far from it. Having a fully automated system means that with every game played, the Outlook Index recompiles itself along with all the associated outputs relating to...
TIME TO TAKE THE BANKER’S OFFER
First published in Racing & Football Outlook September 13-19, 2011 With seven games or so under our belts in the Football League and a pattern starting to emerge across the English and Scottish league tables, it’s time to start re-checking some of my pre-season suppositions and, if necessary, to adjust where my money is. The way...
GUNNERS NOW LOOK A SOLID LAY
First published in Racing & Football Outlook September 6-12, 2011 It’s an obvious topic, but having had a week for the dust to settle, it’s a good time to revisit the Outlook Index’s view of Arsenal in light of their poor start to the season and, in particular, the humiliation at Old Trafford two Sundays ago. It’s...
ULTRA-COMPETITIVE LEAGUE 1 IS A TEST FOR PUNTERS
First published in Racing & Football Outlook August 23-29, 2011 It’s so far so good and with everything broadly running to plan, at least from a tipping perspective, I’m now looking for the next set of opportunities to present themselves. Among the potential new positions over the next few weeks must be my first...
FOXES LOOK A TOP TEN SIDE BUT SHORT OF TITLE QUALITY
First published in Racing & Football Outlook August 16-22, 2011 It’s obviously way too early in the season to start making snap judgements other than to say that from what I’ve seen after two weekends of the Football League and one of the Premier League, it largely seems to be business as usual. Pretty much across...
ANOTHER YEAR OF UNITED ON TOP
First published in Racing & Football Outlook August 9-15, 2011 IN RECENT seasons I’ve adopted a safety-first policy in the Premier League outright market by coming down heavily in favour of the status quo by making a combined bet on both Man United and Chelsea to win the title. However, the trick in maintaining...
BLUES ON THE HANDICAP BUT CRAWLEY ARE THE BET OF THE YEAR
First published in Racing & Football Outlook August 2-8, 2011 LAST season’s Premier League relegation battle was so competitive that in many seasons the points totals of each of the teams dropping down to the Championship would have been enough to stay in the top flight. That shows the potential strength of the relegated...
BACK HUDDERSFIELD TO FIND A PLAY-OFF HANGOVER CURE
First published in Racing & Football Outlook July 26-August 1, 2011 There’s only a week to go before the first of our English pre-season pullouts and what will, as ever, be the definitive betting guide to the coming season. With so much to cover and some absolutely massive ante-post betting opportunities to tell you...
