Hello to all. I am back for Round 16. It seems as though we just had Round 15. Oh, we did just have Round 15, so I better give you Round 16 while the teams catch their breaths for a congested round.

Good luck,

Ray Stefani

You can always tell when we have congested fixtures. In Round 16, a one unit bet o each of the 10 underdogs would have returned nearly 14 thanks to upsets by Everton and ManU.

Here comes Round 17 with normal rest. Good luck,

Oops, I wrote that there would be normal rest between Rounds 16 and 17. The EPL games were a week apart but six of the EPL teams had midweek matches in Europa League and Champions League competitions, so actually in 5 of 10 Round 17 matches, one or both teams had 1/2 week's rest. That explains why Chelsea played at mid week and then lost to Bournemouth, whose supporters cashed bets for decimal odds of 12.00.

Week 18 is with normal rest, followed by a flood of holiday fixtures which are congested for Rounds 19, 20, 21, 23 and 24.

Merry almost Christmas to all.

Here come a flurry of matches. In Round 18, the teams seemed to be backing off before the Boxing Day matches, since a bet on the 9 favourites would have almost doubled your money with a return of 17. As I mentioned last week, Rounds 19, 20, 21, 23 and 24 are congested and perhaps Round 22 should be considered with caution as we probably should have for Round 18.

Merry Christmas to all!

I meant to write that if you bet on the 9 underdogs in Round 18, not the 9 favourites, that you would have almost doubled you money!

It seems as though one round just ended and another starts tomorrow. Actually, that's true and it's true than Man City allowed Wolves to score in the 82nd and 88th minutes to win. Congested fixtures strike again.

Here is your Happy New Year activity: check out the January 1 (England) EPL matches. The players ought to be exhausted and not just from celebrating with a pint or two at midnight.

Cheers,

To give the teams time to catch their breaths, there is about a 10 day rest before Round 22 and then they will have about a week before Round 23.

To give you an idea of how debilitating these congested fixtures have been on favourites, here is the profit you would have had betting equally on all underdogs: Round 17 (+40%), Round 18 (+89%), Round 19 (+16%), Round 20 (-24%) and Round 21 (+38%).

Good luck,

Ray Stefani
