Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 1:25PM | Post a Comment Over on the Statistical Analyses blog I've been dedicating significant blog-space - or whatever it is you want to call the online equivalent of column inches - to the MARS Ratings of teams throughout football history. In those posts the Ratings stopped at the end of last season. Now it's time to bring them up to date.

Then in the last game of the round, the Hawks' inability to win by either of the requisite margin ranges made sure that all three Funds recorded a loss for the week. The Head-to-Head Fund dropped 0.4c, the Line Fund 1.5c, and the Margin Fund 0.3c, which translates into a 1.1c loss for the Recommended Portfolio.

Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 7:47PM | Post a Comment There are six home-team favourites this week, which is as many as we've had in a single round this season, so I suppose it's no real surprise that the Margin Fund features prominently in the week's wagers. What is a little unusual, however, is that the Margin Fund has elected to wager in all six contests.
