Review for week ending 06/03/03

A very poor week which may have largely been caused by a last minute referee change in the Rotherham / Sheffield United local derby. The original referee (A Kaye) was replaced by P Danson who would have produced a bookings index rating of 38.2 (no bet). The final makeup of 90 was a complete disaster and made up virtually all of this weeks loss. There was almost a repeat in the Aston Villa / Birmingham derby game on the Monday night but this time the referee change was spotted. Overall the week showed a loss of �918 which now reduces the total potential profit for the season so far to �7,901 (an average profit of �343 per week). These potential bets are determined using the guidelines on the Weekly Reviews page.

	A sell of the bookings index in the Rotherham / Sheffield United game at 42 with Spreadex (Soccer Spreads rating 27.7 - Makeup 90) for �17 per point would have produced a loss of �816.
	A buy of the Newcastle performance against Chelsea at 87 with IG Index (Soccer Spreads rating 105.2 - Makeup 91) for �4 per point would have produced �16 profit.
	A buy of the Burnley mini performance against Stoke at 21 with Cantor Sport (Soccer Spreads rating 25.9 - Makeup 30) for �12 per point would have produced �108 profit.
	A buy of the Aston Villa corner supremacy over Birmingham at 2 with Sporting Index (Soccer Spreads rating 3.6 - Makeup 0) for �65 per corner would have produced a loss of �130.
	A sell of the Stoke supremacy over Brighton at 0.2 with Cantor Sport (Soccer Spreads rating -0.21 - Makeup 1) for �120 per goal would have produced a loss of �96.
