The 2 Premier League funds diverged this weekend.  Whilst the Alpha Fund took a slight loss, the Beta Fund managed a moderate gain.   As the Beta fund is an enhanced version of the Alpha fund it was good to see the Beta fund continuing to outperform.   See the stats below for relative performance of the 2 funds.

It was actually a very pleasing result for the Beta fund as it overcame the setback of laying Bolton v Man U (Bolton winning 1-0).  At market odds of 8.4 the win for Bolton was a rare event; even rarer at the Algorithm’s price of 11.85.  Of course, these rare events are by definition expected and therefore cannot be excluded as ‘unlucky’ or ‘one-offs’.  It’s just good to see the other match bets more than offsetting the loss in the same week.  The weekly gain is however easy to comprehend once you note the Algorithm backed all 5 winning away teams this week.
