Paradise Newsletter 10

Hello and welcome to the Punters' Paradise newsletter. We're 10 newsletters deep now and feel like we're getting to know our public better and better with each issue. I'd like to take this opportunity to say thanks for all the positive feedback so many of you have sent - it's gone a long way to help shape the newsletter as it is now and also what it will become in the future.

We go heavy on the knowledge this issue with more of our signature analysis and statistical nous. We believe in attacking the bookmakers from all angles; so we've got Odds Against getting deeper into odds compiling, the backbone of any sensible betting strategy.

Meanwhile back at the lab, the good Doctor begins a three-part analysis of Observer journalist Greg Gordon's sports tipster experiment. This is one you won't want to miss.

In short, we remain on the bleeding edge of betting theory and practice. It's good to have you along for the ride.

Regards

Jamdog
