Tag: The Championship

Premier League

A disappointing week for the WhoScored Premier League predictions. Just 2 correct results from the 10 matches and no correct scores, made it the worst week since I started monitoring selections.

A loss of -7.56 points for the results and -10 points for the correct scores gave a combined loss of -17.56 points. That wiped out over half the overall profit, bringing it down to +16.34 points.

The Championship

A good weekend saw Harry Smith return to form with his Championship predictions. Just 4 correct results from the 12 matches played, but 2 correct scores, including correctly predicting Derby would win 3-0 at Birmingham at odds of 20/1.

A loss of -3.08 points for the results, but a profit of +15 points for the correct scores, gave an combined profit of +11.92 points profit, bringing the overall profit to +26.33 points since I started monitoring the predictions.

La Liga

The upturn in results continued over in Spain with 6 correct results from the 10 matches and 2 correct scores. +2.69 points profit for the results and +4.50 points for the correct scores, gave a combined profit of +7.19 points and now sees them in an overall profit to the tune of +5.93 points, since I started monitoring the results at the start of December.

Considering they were showing a loss of -21.08 points at the end of last year, it’s been a very promising turn around since the start of the new year.

Bundesliga

4 correct results and 1 correct score gave a profit of +2.05 points and a loss of -2.50 points respectively, so hardly any change overall, with the loss now standing at -29.79 points, since the beginning of December.

Serie A

No Fixtures this week.

Ligue 1

Things continued where they left off before the mini break, with the French Ligue 1 predictions. Just 4 correct results from the 10 matches gave a loss of -1.75 points. There were no correct scores, so an additional -10 points loss, brings the overall combined loss to -50.48 points since the start of December.

A double helping of matches this week, so hopefully some better results.

 

Premier League

It’s been a good festive period for the WhoScored Premier League predictions. The weekend before Christmas they only managed 4 correct results from the 10 matches played, but of those 4 they correctly predicted the score in 3 of the games, giving them a combined profit of +16.4 points.

They’ve followed that up with 6 correct results from the 9 matches played so far since Christmas and guessed the correct score in 2 of those games, giving a further combined profit of +5.47 points.

Overall now, since I started monitoring their predictions, they’ve made a profit of +4.51 points for the correct results and +13.0 points for the correct scores, giving a combined profit of +17.51 points.

The Championship

Not such a good festive period for their Championship predictions. They got the correct result in half the matches played before Christmas and one correct score meant they pretty much broke even across all the matches.

They then took a bit of a beating on the Boxing Day games. They could only manage the correct result in 3 of the 12 games and no correct scores meant a combined loss of -18.5 points.

Overall now, since I started monitoring their predictions, they’ve made a loss of -9.65 points for the correct results and +45.0 points for the correct scores, giving a combined profit of +35.35 points.

La Liga

A small loss on the games played just before Christmas, with 4 correct results from the 10 games and just 1 correct score.

The combined loss of -2.68 points brings the overall loss to -21.08 points since the start of December, when I began monitoring their La Liga predictions.

Serie A

Their Italian writer Jacopo Piotto continued his improved form, with 6 correct results from the 10 games played in the run up to Christmas. 1 correct score from those matches ensured a combined profit of +5.66 points, which means he’s now showing an overall profit on all games since I started monitoring.

Ligue 1

There was still little joy to be had following their French Ligue 1 predictions. They correctly guessed the result in just half of the 10 matches and again could not find the correct score in any of the games.

A combined loss of -12.48 points now brings the overall loss to -38.73 points since I started monitoring at the beginning of the month.

Currently in their mid-season break there’s no more French Ligue 1 fixtures until 12th January.

Bundesliga

Also currently in a mid-season break with no fixtures until 12th January.

 

Premier League

Another disappointing weekend for the WhoScored Premier League predictions. They managed 5 correct results from the 9 games played so far (Everton v Swansea to come tonight), but all matches were odds on, so a loss 0f -1.76 points was incurred.

They didn’t get the correct score in any of the games, so a combined loss of -10.76 points, means they’re no making an overall loss of -4.08 points since I started monitoring their selections.

The Championship

Results wise things weren’t any better in the Championship matches, with the correct result in just 25% of the 12 games. However they came up with the correct score in 2 of the 3 games, which in the words of Meat Loaf, ain’t bad.

A loss of -5.76 points on the correct results, but a profit of 4.0 points for the correct scores, meant a combined loss of -1.76 points, bringing their overall profit down to +53.9 points for Championship games.

Bundesliga

In the German Bundesliga they got 3 correct results from the 9 matches, with the correct score of 2-1 between Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim.

-3.10 points for the correct results and -0.5 points for the correct scores means they’ve now made a combined overall loss of -29.34 points since I started to monitor their predictions at the start of the month.

La Liga

There were no correct scores and just 3 correct results from the 8 games played in Spain over the weekend. A combined loss of -10.38 sees their overall loss increase to -18.4 points.

Ligue 1

It was a similar picture in France, with 4 wins from the 10 games played and no correct scores. The combined loss  of -12.38 sees their overall loss increase to -26.25 points.

Serie A

The best performance of the weekend went to Jacopo Piotto, their Italian writer, who got the correct result in half of the 10 games and was spot on with the 2-1 away win for SPAL over Benevento. A profit of +2.71 points for the results and a wiped face for the correct scores, reduced the overall loss to -2.29 points, since I started monitoring.

Premier League

A disappointing weekend for the WhoScored Premier League predictions. They only managed 3 correct results from the 10 matches and no correct scores. That equates to a combined loss of -13.35 points, reducing their overall profit to just +5.63 points since I started monitoring their predictions.

The Championship

It wasn’t the best of weekend’s either in the Championship. Of the 11 games played so far they only correctly guessed the result in 2, but of those they correctly predicted Derby would win 3-0 at Barnsley, which paid out at a lucrative 20/1.

So a loss of -6.0 points for the correct results and a profit of +10 points for the correct scores, gave a combined profit of +4.0 points, increasing their overall profit to +57.66 points.

Bundesliga

Their European writers also found results hard to get right. Similar to last weekend they only managed 3 correct results from the 9 Bundesliga matches and no correct scores, gave a combined loss of -9.86 points bringing the overall loss to -21.16 points.

La Liga

Things were better in La Liga with 6 correct results and 1 correct score from the 9 matches played so far this weekend. A profit of +3.04 points for the correct results and a loss of just -0.5 points for the correct results, meant a combined profit of +2.54 points, reducing the overall loss to -6.02 points.

Ligue 1

Over in France they suffered further losses. They managed the correct result in half of the 10 matches, but that didn’t prevent them making a loss of -1.37 points and a combined loss of -11.37, which brings their overall loss to -13.87 points.

Serie A

With 2 matches still to be played in the Italian Series A they’ve had 3 correct results from the 8 games played, but no correct scores so a combined loss of -7.41 points bringing the overall loss to -12.4 points.

In the 2 weeks I’ve been monitoring the European predictions from WhoScored it’s been the lack of correct score predictions that have been hurting their results.

Premier League

Some fine predictions in the Premier League from WhoScored getting 8 out of 10 results correct, for +7.5 points profit. Unfortunately they only get the correct score in 1 of the 8, correctly predicting the 1 all draw in the south coast derby between Bournemouth and Southampton, which only paid out at 11/2 (6.5).

A loss of -3.5 points for the correct score predictions brought the combined profit down to +4 points, which boosted the overall profit to +18.98 points since I started monitoring their predictions.

The Championship

A small loss was made on their guesses in the Championship. Again just the one correct score prediction, with Bristol City beating Middelsbro, as they predicted.

A loss of -2.5 points for the correct scores, but they were correct with the result in half the 12 games, which produced a profit of +1.22 points. Combined the loss of -1.28 points reduced their overall profit to +53.66 points.

It wasn’t the best of weeks to start monitoring their selections across some of the other top leagues in Europe, with losses incurred in all 4 leagues I started monitoring.

German Bundesliga

Just 3 correct results from the 9 games and no correct scores, gave a combined loss of -11.3 points.

Spanish La Liga

Only 2 correct results from the 10 matches played, although they did get the correct score with Athletico Madrid 2 v 1 Real Sociedad. -7.06 points for the correct results and -1.5 for the correct scores gave a combined loss of -8.56 points.

Italian Serie A

Slightly better with the Serie A predictions, with the correct result in half of the 10 matches and the correct score in 1. A loss of -1.49 points for the correct results and -3.5 for the correct scores gave a combined loss of -4.99 points.

French Ligue 1

Their best performance came in Ligue 1,  with the correct result in 4 of the 10 games and the correct score in 1. A loss of -1.0 point for the correct results and -1.5 for the correct scores gave a combined loss of -2.5 points.

After the good run of recent form shown by the WhoScored predictions, the mid-week games came as somewhat a disappointment.

Premier League

They were correct in their results prediction for half the ten games, but apart from the draw between WBA and Newcastle, they were all pretty short odds, so a loss of -1.77 points was recorded.

They didn’t manage the correct score in any of the matches given an additional loss of -10 points and a combined loss of -11.77 points, bringing their overall profit down to 14.98 points, since I started monitoring their results.

The Championship

Monday saw the last of the weekends game’s being played and WhoScored probably thought they were on for a correct result, as the game headed into injury time, with their tip Brentford leading 2-0.

Then in the 93rd minute QPR grabbed what looked to be a consolation goal and it looked like the 2-1 away win prediction was going to land the bet. But then in the 94th minute QPR scored the equalising goal and both the correct result and score predictions fell by the wayside.

There was just 2 mid-week games played in the Championship, of which WhoScored got the correct score in 1. Combined they made a loss of -4.15 points, which brings their overall profit down to +54.94 points.

As I mentioned earlier in the week, as from this weekend I’ll start monitoring the WhoScored predictions in some of the other major European leagues. Updates on them may not be as frequent as the English leagues, but I’ll try and brings things up-to-date as often as possible.

Premier League

WhoScored were in top form this weekend with their Premier League predictions. They got 3 of the results spot on giving a profit of +14.5 points and were correct with the result in 3 additional games, which added an extra +3.04 points to the pot, giving a combined profit of +17.54 points.

This brings their overall profit to +26.75 points, since I started monitoring the performance of their predictions. Also bear in mind that’s only using bet365 odds. Profits could have been increased if you’d shopped around and taken the best odds available on each match.

The Championship

With tonight’s match between QPR and Brentford still to go, it’s not been such a good week for their Championship predictions. They’ve not got the correct score in any of the 11 games played so far, so -11 points there. They did better with the correct results, with 6 games going the way they predicted, providing a +2.8 points profit. Combined they made a loss of -8.2 points, which brings their overall profit down to +59.09 points.

Again I’d stress that’s only using bet365 odds and a greater profit would have been achieved by taking the best bookmaker odds on each match.

Backing all the matches in the Premier League and The Championship, since I started monitoring their selections on 9th September (12 weeks) would have resulted in a total profit of +85.84 points.

Given how well their selections are performing in the top 2 English leagues, as from 1st December I’ll also start monitoring their predictions in the Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga and French Ligue 1.

There’s a full program of mid-week  Premier League matches and a couple of games being played in the Championship, so I’ll be back on Thursday to update on those matches.
