'Mine's a Scotch' Strategy

This page is dedicated to my favourite betting strategy which I developed last year and tested in the latter half of the 11/12 season.  It focuses on identifying home picks from the major European leagues which I feel statistically offer value and can be backed at odds of better than evens (but generally under 2/1).  The test delivered a yield of approximately 15% although when back tested over the last 5 seasons it has yielded between 20-28% depending on the staking plan adopted.  For the time being, I will be using a rounded version of the square root staking plan.
While reading a betting article, some time ago now and possibly an American article, I came across the term 'a scotch bet' which apparently refers to an even money bet.  Given the strategy's focus on even money picks and the celebratory drinks with which I hope to toast its success, I feel calling the strategy 'Mine's a Scotch' is suitable.

I will be posting the picks that the strategy identifies on this page along with a running profit & loss.  I don't see myself as a tipster, I think there are enough of those around, but if you choose to follow, of course you do so at your own risk.  For information, when I back tested the strategy with various staking plans, the results were very impressive for both level stakes and percentage bank plans.
All the best, Ronnie.
