Transferring from blog to Newsletter

Not entirely though, but at the moment I strongly feel there is going to be significantly less blogging and a lot more writing up Newsletters to my customers. There is still room for those interested, and there will be a Free Edition through out the season. If you do not want to miss out the information then sign-up on the right. Should not take more than 10 seconds of your time. Next Newsletter scheduled for Wednesday March 9th.

Match fixing in an Afro-Arctic way

Honestly I am fed up with this case, but unfortunately I am afraid that far from all is revealed by now. Judging by the market behaviour and actual final full-time results there are not a lot of other dirty clubs than RoPS, but even a one is too many and a subject to raise rumours and odd market behaviour.

Naturally, calling RoPS a dirty club is a bit unfair if and when the culprits are individual players who have acted on their own initiative, but the RoPS player policy has been a catastrophe waiting to happen as they lease African players for the summer season only. Up yours RoPS!

Oh yes. There is a match today too. RoPS travel to meet fellow strugglers AC Oulu. Asian handicap is set at -1 (@ 2.03) for the hosts, who at the moment are denied the league license and have enough worries of their own.

KuPS - RoPS in the league cup today

Markets are a bit confused about this, and for a reason.

  • KuPS had a badly weakened line-up last week away at Oulu and far from ideal also today,
  •  RoPS have been in the centre of match fixing allegations lately (sic) and the markets have reacted accordingly
  • This is the first home match for KuPS this season, also first time outdoors
  • RoPS did get their full squad together only some time ago as most of the players are African and they did not stay the winter at Rovaniemi
  • KuPS -1.15 @ 2 now, could go either way with or without a reason, but represents definitely no value if the starting line-up is the same it was last week
  • RoPS did fight a 1-1 draw last week at home, and they have enough talent in the squad to give a match against any team in the league if they so wish.
No bet from me at the moment, need to see actual line-ups and follow how the markets react today.
