Hi MerlinOriginally Posted by Merlin
You have a good record with your max bets if I remember right? I think Drogheda will win this match, as well as the league title, but I would have liked a better price than the current odds of 1.41 at the moment.
If I can't get better later, I'll give this match a miss.
Good Luck Mate...
Dedicated Member
Actually, M…this is the best priced Max I have had….had 6 in total and 5 won……
Cork let me down for 100%….
If this one goes down..my Max are still in profit…but that wont happen will it:…

I have to ask Merlin, what's this mean?
Dedicated Member
It’s a personal note for me…Matt….
What it means is that from time to time…being human an all……I analyse each losing bet…particularly with regard to asking myself questions….about was I really happy about taking that bet
I am trying to be very honest with myself…and most losing bets…….I am quite happy to lose on , coz I know 100% that the bet was good…..it just didn’t happen…..
However, occasionally , I will have a strong sense of that I shouldn’t have taken the bet - the bet was bad…bad decision…….
So the figure represents the points I have lost on BAD BETS …kinda in hindsight…but bets perhaps I shouldn’t have taken……Am I making sense….
If I am learning from my own mistakes…that figure should be dropping month on month…if it rises I aint learning anything….

Merlin ..... I must warn you mate! my Irish picks haven't been that great during the last 3-4 weeks, so follow at your own risk. My ratings were going great for weeks, but then they went downhill for a bit with some crazy results, but hopefully it will pick up again soon....
Dedicated Member
No worries mate..will Only bet the MONTY BET with the MONTY BANK….
Fancy one of the others myself…..(Finn Harps)….
We all have dips mate….and don’t I know it….but IT IS going to be a profitable season…very confident….

I'm pretty confident that these irish teams who have a strong rating will come good again. As I said the ratings went crazy for a few weeks, but I'm sure a lot of the losing picks had to do with adverse weather conditions and not entirley the fault of the ratings. My Scottish ratings went through similar bad spell last winter, so its got me thinking about missing certain bets if the weather conditions are not quite right.
Does that make any sense to you?
