Golden Soccer Star – Days 4 and 5
Sgt Rob Reviewing Golden Soccer Star
Post Overview
This post covers all bets for the period Tuesday 21st August 2012 to Monday 27th August 2012 inclusive. In that period there were 2 betting days (25th and 26th).
These bets were based on the selection email sent by the vendor of the service and cover the English Premiership, Scottish Premiership, French Championnat, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga, Spanish Primera and the UEFA Champions League – where bets exist for these fixtures.
Over the 2 days, we bet on 13 games (3 in the English Premier, 4 in the Scottish Premier, 1 in the French Championnat, 2 in the German Bundesliga and 3 in the Italian Serie A).
For the ‘5 bet’ bank, we are betting on 5 different correct scores per match, which means 5 pts staked per match.
For the ‘4 bet’ bank, we drop one of the correct score bets used in the ‘5 bet’ process leaving us 4 different scores to bet on, which means 4 pts staked per match.
All bets are at level stakes, and I will equate 1 pt to £1. Prices stated for winning bets are quoted as decimal (e.g. 6/1 will be referred to as 7 or 7.0), are sourced from odds comparison sites and if an exchange price, will reflect a fairly standard 5% commission reduction.

Unofficial Results
I am also tracking results in the Brazil Serie A, Turkish Super Lig, English Championship, and Dutch Eredivisie and Portugese Liga Sacres.
These leagues are untested by the vendor, and as they’re on the head-to-head comparison site, I thought I’d see how these leagues fair.
Please note results here will not count towards the official review of the product. The official review covers the selections provided in the email.
I had 24 selections, 4 in the Brazil Serie A, 12 in the English Championship, 4 in the Dutch Eredivisie, 1 in the Italian Serie A, 1 in the English Premiership (I found selections in the Italian Serie A and English Premiership not on the emailed selection list) and 2 in the Turkish Super Lig.
Betting 5 correct scores per match resulted in a profit of 95.96 pts (at £1 per point) with winning bets of 11 at Ladbrokes, 11 at SkyBet, 18.5 at Betfair (17.58 minus 5% commission), 8.5 at Bet Victor, 10 at Ladbrokes, 10 at Bet365, 17 at William Hill, 11.5 at Betfair (10.92 minus 5% commission), 32 at Betfair (30.60 minus 5% commission) , 8.8 at Betfair (8.36 minus 5% commission) and 81 at Bet Fred
Betting 4 correct scores per match resulted in a profit of 100.46 pts as we lost the Sky Bet 11’s and Bet Victor 8.5’s due to that correct score being dropped…but the fact that we are only betting 4 pts per game meant a higher return then betting 5 correct scores.
Overall in my unofficial results, for which I am on Day 9, I am +84.16 pts for betting 5 results a game and +85.21 pts for betting 4 results a game.
Cheers for now,
Sgt Rob.
