This early EPL season continues to be a pleasant surprise. My favourites have won 14 of the 17 matches not drawn (that's 80%), including an upset win by Bournemouth against the bookie favourite West Ham.

Here are my odds for Week 3.

Good luck,

Good one ray

Fun week. My favourites won all 7 matches that weren't drawn. For the season, that's 21 from 24, 88%. Let's keep that up.

Here come my Week 4 predictions and odds.

Good luck to all,

The next matches will be played 15-17 September.

So far so good. We have about a 10% profit on turnover. My favourites have won 84% of the matches that were not drawn. The betting trick I suggest to break even on a draw has been helpful. Eight matches have been drawn so far.

Good luck with week 5.

Good work Ray, thanks

..very helpful ray

Previously overachieving Watford ran into previously underachieving Man U. Man U's win moved their ratings more towards where we would expect.

Here is the oddity so far. After 50 matches, the home teams have won 21, drawn 9 and lost 20, which is not making the home ultras very happy.

Let's see what week 6 has in store for us.

Good luck,

Five of my six favourites won the matches that were not drawn during round 6. The upset was the interesting one. Bottom-table Burnley somehow found it in themselves to beat fourth-place Bournemouth, not by a goal, but by a score of 4-0. That is what makes sports fun (and maybe frustrating, but not boring).

Good luck with round 7.

So far so good. My favourites have won 80% of the 54 matches that were not drawn. We had two good value bets last week for West Ham and Burnley supporters.

Good luck as we reach round 8,

The results were a bit mixed last week. My favourites won only 5 of 8 matches not drawn. There were winning value bets supporting Brighton but not Leicester. Two others resulted in draws, so that meant breaking even with the betting trick I suggested.

The craziest result was when Bournemouth played away against Watford. Bookmakers set Bournemouth as a big underdog paying 6.60. Bournemouth didn't just squeeze out a one goal upset, they won 4-0. Maybe the Watford team bus was stuck at a pub and they had to play fans.

Good luck with Round 9.
