Goal-line technology and dodgy linesmen

I said the World Cup games today had all the hallmarks of being brilliant games, in a sense they were both brilliant games but over-shadowed by FIFA's failure to implement technology in football. Some would argue it's wrong decisions and human mistakes that make football such a huge talking point, but surely on the World's biggest stage mistakes like we saw today shouldn't be made. I'm by no means a bitter England fan but everybody knows that Frank Lampard's shot bounced back of the crossbar and clearly went over the line and in the later game Carlos Tevez was clearly offside for Argentina's first goal. There's no doubting that both Argetina and Germany deserved the progress to the quarter-finals as they were clearly the better teams in their relevant games but there will always be that "what if..." thoughts in th emids fo England and Mexico fans alike. Goals totally change the dynamics of game and I'm afriad we'll never know how thoose game smight have turne dout had the correct decision be made. Hopefully these two incidents will spark FIFA into going down the technologic route, but I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

That brings me nicely onto system selections. Unfortnatley today procuded not once single winner and the system dropped into a loss overlal for the first time. Here's the overall statistics so far:

System Selections Performance Update (Week 2)
Starting Balance £1,000.00
Current Balance £959.17
P/L -£40.83


Total Staked £811.19
Total Returned £770.36
ROI 94.97%


No. Of Bets 180
Wins 23
Lost 157
Strike Rate 12.78%

I'm operating a rachet staking plan which does somewhat exaggerate losses when they occur but when it also ensure greater profit when the winners arrive. Dissapointing end to the week but like I've said before this system has shown profit in the long-term and I'm confident it will bounceback, after all I've only been following it for just over a week so far.
