Wigan were in utter disarray as Blackpool ran out 0-4 winners in one of the most surprising results in the Premier League for a long time, and a home game against Chelsea is just about the last thing Roberto Martinez and his side need after starting the season in such fashion.

The Latics did of course upset the Blues here last season as they ran out 3-1 winners, though as the 12/1 available about the home win suggests, a repeat would be an even bigger shock this time round with Wigan looking decidedly weaker than a year ago and trading as short as 5/4 to be relegated this season.

Scoring goals certainly looks like a big problem for Wigan this season and though Hugo Rodallega enjoyed a good start to his career in England, the goals dried up in the second half of last season and he is as big as 14/1 to score the first goal in this one.

Mauro Boselli has been brought into the club to try to fix that problem, and while he has a fine record in Argentinean football, it remains to be seen how he will settle into life in England, especially with a side who look set to struggle. Boselli is also 14/1 to score first, or 4/1 to score at any time which looks the way to go if you are keen to back him.

Unfortunately for Latics fans, this one does look to be all about the Blues and it’s tough to pick out any bets here that aren’t in favour of Chelsea, starting with their match odds of 2/9, which although short, will surely be a winning bet.

The feeling amongst many punters and pundits will be that if Blackpool scored 4 here, Chelsea could score 10, and if you do fancy them to run riot, you can back 3 of their main threats – Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and Florent Malouda – all to score at 6/1 in Blue Square’s special treble.

If this one does go the way everyone expects, Chelsea -1 on Blue Square’s Handicap market is bound to be a popular punt a 4/6, while Chelsea -2 should also be a popular bet at 17/10 considering the champions’ recent scoring exploits. Don’t forget that the Blues celebrated last season’s title with a remarkable 8-0 home win on the final day. Against Wigan.

Looking at the Team Specials market, there are a host of tempting bets for Chelsea backers to get stuck into, with Chelsea to win to nil probably the most appealing at a very decent 4/5. Chelsea to score in both halves also looks decent at 4/5, while Chelsea to keep a clean sheet looks like another winning bet at 8/13.

“Tried a ‘new system’ out called COCOTIPS, well after reading the sales pitch and a free week I joined on 30th Aug, well today the bank was burst!!, in those 12 days he has has a run of 13 without hitting a winner and another finishing today of 12…..Big letter of apology and ‘please stick wuth us’ just put at least another 500 in your account blah blah blah,,,,,,,well you know the answer to that!!…anyway just be warned that his sales site and facts are wrong and its a costly lesson”

I’d like to thank Brian on behalf of everybody who reads this for sharing his experience and potentially helping some of you dodge this particular bullet. If anybody else has any experience of any service to share – good or bad – that you feel may benefit other people, please contact me.

With no bets today I thought I'd catch up on a few e-mails, and happened to notice one from Betfair notifying me that their free bet offer for new accounts has just been increased from £25 to £50! The "catch" is that you have to bet on football, which shouldn't be a problem.

The offer lasts up until the end of the transfer window, so get it while you can. Oh, and it isn't advertised on the main Betfair website so to get it you need to click the banner above, or use the link below. Enjoy!

I am not in a position yet to officially recommend it to you because I have only been testing for 10 days or so. The results so far have been good, there was one bad day on Saturday when I lost a chunk of the profits already made,  but all systems will have bad days and I am impressed with how quickly it recovered. So those are the facts, the decision is up to you. The price goes up to £149 tomorrow night, if you want to check it out before then you can find out more here.

I have also been testing the Betfair Race Trading Formula on behalf of the guys at Free Bet Advice. This review will be published in the next few days. It will go on their site not mine, but I will post a link as soon as it is published if you are interested in this Betfair trading product.

When these tests are done I will take a look at some of the other products you have asked me to review. Please keep the feedback coming in so I know what you would like me to test next. If you feel that your query or request might be of interest to others, please consider submitting a comment instead of using the contact form, that way everyone can benefit from the response. I get lots of feedback on the contact form but some people seem a bit shy of leaving comments so far, so please do use this facility.

The marketing campaign incorporates sequential price rises which are genuine (I’ve double checked this) - so it’s not just one of these things when they say “the price is going up at midnight” and it never happens. This is the main reason I am posting this early update because if you are interested in the system you might want to get a copy while it’s still relatively cheap.

The manual is very easy to understand and the system itself very simple to implement – so much so that I was not sure whether the system would be profitable when I first read it due to its simplicity. However, the results so far have been very decent and my £100 test bank has increased to £112 in 3 days thanks to some winners being found at massive prices. I hope this can continue.

I have managed to set up Bet Bot Pro to operate the system for me, so it just takes me around 10 minutes in the morning to set it up and I am done for the day (this could be done the night before instead I guess).

Of course I am not in a position to recommend the system to you yet until I have performed a full and proper test, so this update is just to let you know what has happened so far in view of the fact that they are increasing the price. Of course if it continues to profit at the rate it has done so far I will have no option but to recommend the system because a 12% increase in 3 days is not to be sniffed at.

If you want to look at The Life System you can do so here.

For my second test, I have also arranged to test a greyhound laying service called “Psycho Lays Dogs”. I’ve yet to come across a decent Greyhound system or service and the past results of this one look impressive, so I am very much looking forward to testing this. I haven’t received any selections as yet but I will keep you posted.

It is a generally accepted fact that the markets on Betfair – especially the liquid markets such as horse racing – are efficient. What do I mean by efficient? What this means is that broadly speaking, the odds on Betfair are a fair reflection of the chances of an event happening. For example, a horse trading at 5.0 will win around 20% of the time.

What this means to us is that there is no value to be had just by blindly backing or laying horses based purely upon the odds they are trading at – this is why systems such as the Stable Income Plan are such utter garbage. But that’s a tangent I won’t go down today.

I’ve actually discussed market efficiency with no less Peter Webb (the founder of Bet Angel) and there is not much he doesn’t know about the betting exchanges.

One thing that Peter did point out though was that there are variations in this general rule. For example, you do see selections trade at 1.01 (which according to the market is an implied 100% chance of winning) and yet go on to lose. Likewise you see selections trade at 1000 (implied 0% chance of winning) and go on to win. The market is pretty efficient – but not perfect.

So with this in mind, I was very interested to see a new set of market data recently, provided by a contact of mine who is a professional exchange trader. It would appear that over the last 5 years, if you had blindly laid every horse at 2.0 or under, based purely on price, you would have made a very small profit AFTER 5% commission.

Now I am not suggesting anybody goes out and does this, because it would be an incredibly painful process involving huge swings when runs of consecutive losing bets would be encountered. But it is food for thought – there’s clearly a margin there at the lower end of the market.

And when you think about it logically, you can begin to see why. The lower the price, the closer the exchange prices get to the bookies’ prices. The bookies’ prices incorporate their overround, which gives a margin. The closer we can get to those prices when we lay, the better chance we have of making a margin of our own.

With this in mind, I went back over a random sample of my own bets and my findings were interesting. Around 90% of my profits came from horses I had laid at SPs of 2.5 or under. Slightly higher than odds on, but not by much.

So I have taken the decision that from now on, I will not lay any horses with an SP of over 2.5. Likewise I will never back another horse at odds of less than 2.5 (I rarely did anyway, but now it’s a hard and fast rule).

We know the areas where value is to be obtained, the challenge now is to use a selection process to increase the very small margin that would exist by just blanket laying all these horses, and attempt to gain a greater margin to make our efforts worthwhile.

Strike rate will suffer of course – these horses are at short prices for a reason and we must accept that some will win. What we are looking for is not a high strike rate, but value and an overall profit. So – and I direct this at the few moaners we still have left – if you can’t take a loss, don’t bet.

Back bets will continue and I will set a minimum price of 2.5 SP for these (so around 2.7 on Betfair).

I’ll be publishing an updated user guide over the next few days so you have a permanent reminder of these changes.

If there are any bets today, I will post again before 13.00 BST.

I hope this post makes sense and hasn’t sent you off to sleep. I certainly found this data interesting and I hope it will allow us to make bigger profits in the future. Questions, observations, discussion and comments are welcome.
