5-8-1 in a week when my base package of all-underdogs went 8-5-1. Ouch!

I was +9 after 3 weeks and have gone -7 over the past 7 weeks. Double ouch!!

Three bad weeks so far with only 5 wins and only one really good week with 10 wins. Triple ouch!!!

Two wins behind a plain-vanilla, all-underdogs strategy.

But, playing a football pool is very similar to playing the stock market. You have to expect bad stretches over short periods. The worst thing to do is to lose heart after a string of losses and abandon your approach before the long-term wave picks you back up.
