Profitable teams of season 2011/12 UK & Scotland
This column is more out of interest over which teams made a season long punter the most money, and those that made the biggest loss. This is based on a £1 level
stakes over every league game played. Thanks to the racing post for providing the
information to us.
Whether the results influence whether you follow these teams again this season is
your choice. Prices based on the printed price in the RP on the day of the game!
1st – Wigan +24.82
2nd – Charlton +19.00
3rd – Reading +18.50
4th – Newcastle +17.51
5th – Cheltenham +17.23
6th – Southport +16.66
7th – Crewe +15.26
8th – Torquay +14.55
9th – Sheffield Wednesday +13.90
10th – Swindon +13.12
Interestingly Fulham presented a 0.10 deficit for the season and Braintree returned a +0.10 surplus!
The 10 offenders of the season:
1st – Wolves –23.25
2nd – Rochdale –23.10
3rd – Macclesfield –20.80
4th – Scunthorpe –19.60
5th – Telford –18.56
6th – Coventry –18.38
7th – Bath City –18.33
8th – Exeter –16.78
9th – Stockport –16.45
10th – Chesterfield –13.73
Scotlands five that you should have followed:
1st – St Johnstone +15.87
2nd – Dumbarton +12.62
3rd – Alloa +11.97
4th – Ross County +11.73
5th – Motherwell +7.12
Scotland’s five you should have avoided:
1st – Queen of the south –14.73
2nd – Dunfermline –13,75
3rd – Aberdeen –13.07
4th – Clyde –13.03
5th – Hibernian –12.92
Your initial assumption may be… where are Man City, Man United, Chelsea etc. The
answer is, if they continually achieve heavy odds on prices, the level stakes profit will rise far slower, to say a team pocketing a couple of bigger returns etc.
Man City for instance returned a surplus of 7.29 for the season, which was more than respectable.
Best of luck this season punters.
