I failed in the ballot in my attempt to get tickets for the European Champions league final at Wembley today, such is life. I thought I may slip into some hospitality somewhere, till I saw the cost! It’s funny really, because I thought going to watch the Monaco Grand Prix would cost an arm and a leg. But on researching that, it seems I can still do that cheaper than the hour journey to Wembley! So Monaco will be on the cards for next year. But hey, today I can watch both in the comfort of my own home with about a billion different angles on the action!<\/p>\n

The ECL final will draw a complete close on the football season for me and I can now rest on one front but not on another. For it is during the off season for sports that I tend to focus on research. If you want a hint at the secret behind being good at anything, it’s simple. Good old fashioned hard work! With the footy season over I can start sifting through all the data I collected over the course of last season to analyse it in-depth. Of course I’ll dip in and out of things during the season, but it is during the off season that I can trawl through all the data in real depth and get ideas ready for next season and correct mistakes and errors of the past season.<\/p>\n

I liked the look of Dortmund after their performance in group stages of the champions league, but hadn’t really felt they could go all the way. I tend to have a poorer record at neutral venues but looking forward to enjoying the increased liquidity before the off to try and get myself in a decent position before the match starts. It I can squeeze something decent\u00a0out of the pre-off market, them I put that to use in-play. If not, I’ll enjoy the football! It’s interesting to compare the liquidity on this match and\u00a0the FA Cup, so far apart now!<\/p>\n

The market is forecasting an above average number of goals for the match nearly 2.90. Bayen Munich are, obviously, favoured and the market is pricing them with a 0.70 goal advantage or thereabouts. So that’s better than home advantage! So the market is telling us that it will not be as tight a match as the pundits are talking up.<\/p>\n

Good luck if you are on the match tonight.<\/p>\n
