Right - summary for yesterday, in short.....disappointing! Inter could only scrape a 1 nil win (did the red card affect that? i don't know.....), Juve drew (i watched that one....lacked any creativity going forward), and my two from the Spanish Tercera both lost! That means that the day saw a 25% strike rate, and that both yield shrink and the "orange selections" have tasted their first "defeats". But no worries I'll be looking over the ratings and the accompanying data to see if there was any way in which I could have forseen these results

There won't be any selections until Saturday - looks like quite a few present (although things can change of course). I'm still grappling with the idea of going full AH (or something along those lines), for no matter how good a strike rate, if the odds are consistently low - how many losses could be sustained?!!

IMO - the "orange selections" still appear to be the way to go. but next weekend should help decide on that point - the majority of selections come recommended by those ratings.

.......so see you all next friday
