Review for week ending 02/03/00

Although the bookings index spreads are being marked down by the spread betting firms there were still some good selling opportunities which all duly won. Betting against Chelsea yet again cost us money (although those subscribers who either sold the Chelsea supremacy or their mini performance would have shown a profit) but the on-going policy of backing Everton to score early paid off as usual and Wimbledon's first minute strike against Man United was an excellent result. These bets together with a good result selling the Birmingham performance against Ipswich and the Portsmouth mini performance against Tranmere produced a potential profit for the week of �1,930. This raises the total potential profit for this season to �19,423 (an average of over �800 profit per week).

	A sell of the bookings index in the Coventry / Tottenham game at 30 with either IG Index, Sporting Index or Spreadex (Soccer Spreads rating 21.6 - Makeup 10) for �8 per point would have produced �160 profit.
	A sell of the bookings index in the Wimbledon / Man United game at 30 with Spreadex (Soccer Spreads rating 20.0 - Makeup 0) for �8 per point would have produced �240 profit.
	A buy of the time of the first Aston Villa goal against Bradford at 50 minutes with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 57.9 - Makeup 38) for �7 per minute would have produced a loss of �84.
	A buy of the time of the first Chelsea goal against Watford at 36 minutes with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 48.2 - Makeup 2) for �11 per minute would have produced a loss of �374.
	A sell of the time of the first Everton goal against West Ham at 56 minutes with IG Index (Soccer Spreads rating 42.6 - Makeup 8) for �12 per minute would have produced �576 profit.
	A sell of the time of the first Wimbledon goal against Man United at 60 minutes with IG Index (Soccer Spreads rating 48.7 - Makeup 1) for �10 per minute would have produced �590 profit.
	A sell of the Huddersfield mini performance against Norwich at 19 with Sporting Index (Soccer Spreads rating 14.0 - Makeup 15) for �13 per point would have produced �52 profit.
	A sell of the Birmingham performance against Ipswich at 63 with William Hill Index (Soccer Spreads rating 46.8 - Makeup 35) for �10 per point would have produced �280 profit.
	A sell of the bookings index in the Q.P.R. / Fulham game at 27 with IG Index (Soccer Spreads rating 18.0 - Makeup 10) for �14 per point would have produced �238 profit.
	A sell of the Portsmouth mini performance against Tranmere at 28 with City Index (Soccer Spreads rating 22.2 - Makeup 10) for �14 per point would have produced �252 profit.
