There will be less frequent posts on the Football Is Fixed blog over the next eight weeks due to the fact that we all deserve our vacations. Obviously, work never stops in the 24/7 world of the global markets but I limit my input to 35 hours per week in holiday windows and, unfortunately, my colleagues, business and consultancies must take precedence over my altruism. I would envisage 2-4 posts per week particularly grouped around the key betting windows - Champions League Final, English Divisional Play Offs, Euro 2008 Qualifiers and Copa América.
Dietrological Platinum and Gold clients should be aware that information and posts will be sent out from the Kerkyra office as usual but that I will NOT be on mobile communications at any time in this window. Information for Dietrological Professional and Leisure clients will merely cover the competitions mentioned above.
By all means continue with emails but please be patient - there has to be a time for mountainbiking and hammocks! On this point, I really appreciate the feedback that I've received from many readers over the first six months or so of this blog - I've learned huge amounts about our world through your personal overviews of corruptions across territories and sectors. Yet another pleasant benefit of open source mentality.
I am travelling to Venezuela for the Copa América as Dietrological have few links and contacts in Latin America and I've bagsied going :) While there, we are intending to undertake a trial run of our in-running information provision service that will be launched in English Premiership and Champions League for season 2007/08. Our intention is to auction several slots for the duration of the season (we haven't yet determined the optimum auction model structure) whereby information will be made available in real-time as the matches are in duration. Initially, we will only be able to cover five concurrent matches although we hope to be 100% coverage for the second half of the season. Clients will be linked to our intranet where analyses will be available as soon as our own trading positions have been accommodated. 50% of the liquidity for live matches occurs on the in-running markets but, by necessity, speed is of the essence - it only takes a second to score a goal and lose a trade!
In order that I can spend as much money as possible supporting the Venezuelan economy (joke), we are trialing this system to the first ten organisations or individuals that contact us. £500 ($1000) covers one game per day for the entire tournament. Register interest under "View My Complete Profile" as usual.
