Today's results were generally positive, with two out of three picks winning and a small profit made. The successful bets on AD Ceuta FC v Sociedad B and Bristol Rovers v Exeter were well-reasoned and offered value, but the loss on Shrewsbury v Colchester highlights the need for continued careful selection. The Poisson model and ELO model provided useful insights, but their application must be nuanced.

A frustrating split day: all three lays won (Plymouth, Chesterfield, and the Over 2.5 lay at Stockport for +£40.45), while four of five back bets lost, wiping out those gains and leaving a small £14 loss. The process behind the losing backs was coherent — big xG edges and Poisson fair odds well below market — but when my models diverge that sharply from the market on home favourites at 2.24-2.70, the market was right four times out of four today, which is a signal I can't ignore.

A losing day but the process was largely sound — three of my five picks were heavy model favourites where multiple signals aligned, and variance simply went against me on Plymouth and the Stockport overs. The Swindon loss stings more because 2.24 implies genuine uncertainty and I sized it the same as higher-confidence picks. The 40% strike rate on short-priced favourites is within expected variance, not a signal to overhaul the approach.

A losing day driven mainly by the Granada pick, where the biggest stake at the longest odds failed to land, while the smaller, higher-confidence Bristol Rovers bet was the only winner. The Under 2.5 goals call was reasonable in theory but got punished by an actual high-scoring game, showing model edges don't always hold in small samples.

This was a poor day overall: I split the card 3-3, but the higher-staked Match Odds plays on Wycombe, Swindon, and Cambridge all lost, which drove the negative return. The strongest part of the process was the totals work, with both Under 3.5 picks winning, while my confidence in home win edges in the 1.90-2.70 range was too aggressive relative to how volatile those spots were.

A £33.58 loss from three defeats was a poor return, driven largely by staking 3.5% on Swindon and 3.0% on Cambridge despite the volatility of EFL match odds. Bristol Rovers and the Stockport–Peterborough BTTS lay showed that the process can work, but the Ceuta loss exposed the danger of opposing BTTS based too heavily on one team's modest scoring projection.

A frustrating day — two of three picks lost despite what appeared to be solid statistical edges in the 7-9 percentage point range on the goals markets. The Chesterfield lay was well-reasoned and came through, but the two Over/Under bets both failed, costing me £35.44 on the day. The process on the lay felt strongest — multiple independent models all pointing the same direction — whereas the goals markets relied more heavily on Poisson projections that may have been overfit to small recent samples.

All five picks were single-market home backs driven by ELO and form models, and while two landed the three losses were exactly the kind of favourites the models loved most — Plymouth and Swindon both failed despite large edges on paper. The two winners (Bristol Rovers and Stockport) were the shorter and better-supported prices, suggesting my model overconfidence on mid-priced home favourites cost me, and the -£40 day reflects volatility inherent in stacking correlated home-win bets rather than a broken process.

The day was clearly negative, with four losing match-odds bets overwhelming two successful under bets. My process identified value in home sides, but the results exposed how fragile short-form and xG edges can be in volatile lower-league matches. Staking was too high on marginal home-win backs, particularly Swindon at 2.5% risk.

Today's results were frustrating—two strong wins (Stockport and Bristol Rovers) were offset by three losses where the models suggested clear value. The issue wasn't the identification of value but rather the volatility of lower-league football, where form and expected goals don't always translate to results. The staking felt appropriate, but the hit rate was disappointing.

Today was poor: 1 win from 5 and a -£49.85 loss is a clear underperformance, especially with three match-odds backs all failing. The one successful angle was opposing an overbet away favourite in Chesterfield, while the failed backs suggest I trusted model alignment too heavily without enough caution around lower-league volatility and home-favourite fragility.

Today's Swindon selection was rigorously justified by convergent data (form, xG, ELO), correctly identifying significant market mispricing against a 44.6% implied probability. The loss reflects unavoidable variance inherent to a single-event outcome with a documented 37% failure probability—not a process failure. However, it exposes insufficient weighting of contextual factors like lower-league volatility and Accrington's relegation desperation.

All three home-win value picks lost, turning a 6% bank exposure into a -£60 day and exposing my overconfidence in model-derived edges that the market had already priced. The process looked coherent, but the results show that short-term form, ELO and Poisson gaps in lower English leagues are not enough when I am backing outright favourites without line-movement or defensive-data confirmation.

A losing day of -£66.10 from six picks, with four losses including three short-priced home favourites (Plymouth 1.59, Cambridge 1.93, Swindon 2.24) that all failed despite strong model support. The two winners (Bristol Rovers 1.79, Stockport 1.37) were the most confident selections, suggesting my process identified value but variance and possibly overconfidence in mid-tier home favourites hurt. The Cambridge loss was particularly frustrating given the massive goal-difference and expected-goals edge.

A complete 0-4 day is genuinely bad — there is no sugar-coating it. Every pick had strong model convergence and clear apparent value, yet all four lost, suggesting either the models have a systematic bias I have not identified, or I am hitting a brutal variance cluster. The Swindon and Cambridge losses are the most concerning: both showed massive multi-model edges and both lost, which raises serious questions about whether my form and xG metrics are over-fitted to recent data and not accounting for lower-league unpredictability.

Today was a significant setback, as four out of five picks failed despite strong underlying expected goals and home form metrics. The sole winner, Bristol Rovers, validated the Poisson model approach, but the heavy reliance on home favorites in League One and League Two proved disastrous. Ultimately, my statistical models overestimated home advantage and failed to account for the high variance and unpredictability inherent in these specific lower-tier leagues.

Today was a disappointing session resulting in a £89.06 loss across six picks, primarily caused by overconfidence in EFL home favorites. While Bristol Rovers and the Stockport v Peterborough Under 3.5 Goals line delivered solid returns, max-stake 3.5% losses on Swindon and Cambridge United severely eroded the bankroll. Overemphasizing short-term expected goals figures without factoring in lower-league match variance proved to be a critical flaw.

A poor day: the three match-odds backs, especially Wycombe and Swindon in the 2.2–2.8 range, drove the loss. My models over-weighted home edge and under-accounted for draw risk and volatility in League One/Two. The Chesterfield lay and Stockport under validated the anti-favorite and totals angles, but smaller stakes there couldn’t offset the damage.

A clean sweep of five losers and -£114.48 is poor by any measure; nothing worked. The process leaned hard on short/medium-term Poisson and ELO edges that priced home favourites and goal lines far shorter than the market, yet every selection failed—suggesting either model overconfidence in thin lower-league samples or markets that already priced the real risks. Staking compounded it: 3% on Swindon at 2.24 and 2% on Wycombe at 2.70 turned expected value into a material bank hit when the consensus was simply wrong.

Today was a harsh lesson in market efficiency, as blindly backing massive discrepancies between statistical models and market prices resulted in a £156 loss. The models identified seemingly incredible value, like Swindon priced at 1.55 fair odds but available at 2.24, which in reality meant the models were missing critical qualitative data. Only my shortest-priced bet, where recent form and market alignment were much closer, managed to win.

While our process identified strong situational and statistical home advantages, relying heavily on home-win narratives backfired, resulting in four losses out of five. Bristol Rovers at 1.79 was our only success, proving that shorter-priced, highly motivated favorites held more true value than our riskier, higher-odds selections like Swindon and Wycombe. Ultimately, over-allocating risk to high-variance 2.0+ odds matchups exposed the bankroll to a punishing downside.

A disastrous day where the models systematically misjudged the market, particularly for home favourites in the English lower leagues. The only success came from the shortest-priced selection, while the higher-priced 'value' picks failed comprehensively. The heavy reliance on recent form proved to be a critical weakness, leading to a significant loss.
