Review for week ending 18/01/01

A very poor week although we could count ourselves a little unlucky as Arsenal should have been 3 or 4 up by half time against Chelsea and the Bradford goalkeeper gave away the simplest of goals to Man United after holding out for over 70 minutes which eventually lead to United winning 3-0. Sheffield United couldn't even manage a goal at home to Watford which meant that overall the week showed a loss of �662. This reduces the total potential profit for the season to �4,795 (an average of �320 profit per week).

	A sell of the bookings index in the Arsenal / Chelsea game at 46 (generally available, Soccer Spreads rating 37.3 - Makeup 50) for �10 per point would have produced a loss of �40.
	A sell of the bookings index in the Newcastle / Coventry game at 27 with Sporting Index (Soccer Spreads rating 19.9 - Makeup 30) for �8 per point would have produced a loss of �24.
	A buy of the Arsenal mini performance against Chelsea at 31 with City Index (Soccer Spreads rating 37.5 - Makeup 15) for �15 per point would have produced a loss of �240.
	A sell of the Man United mini performance against Bradford at 36 with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 30.5 - Makeup 50) for �13 per point would have produced a loss of �182.
	A buy of the Sheffield United mini performance against Watford at 23 with Sporting Index (Soccer Spreads rating 27.8 - Makeup 0) for �12 per point would have produced a loss of �276.
	A sell of the bookings index in the Ipswich / Leicester game at 30 with Sporting Index (Soccer Spreads rating 21.9 - Makeup 20) for �10 per point would have produced �100 profit.
