Golden Soccer Star – Days 1 to 3
Sgt Rob Reviewing Golden Soccer Star
Post Overview
This post covers all bets for the period Tuesday 14th August 2012 to Monday 20th August 2012 inclusive. In that period there were 3 betting days (18th, 19th and 20th).
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 3 days, we bet on 11 games (4 in the English Premier, 2 in the Scottish Premier, 2 in the French Championnat and 3 in the Spanish Primera).
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.
Results
5 Bet bank :
11 games bet at 5 pts per match = 55 pts staked.
2 winning bets, 1 in the English Premier at 7.0 with Bet Victor and 1 in the Spanish Primera at 16.0 with Betfair (15.2 after 5% commission applied).

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 14 selections, 2 in the Brazil Serie A, 5 in the English Championship, 4 in the Dutch Eredivisie, 2 in the Portugese Liga Sacres and 1 in the Turkish Super Lig.
Betting 5 correct scores per match resulted in a loss of 11.8 pts (at £1 per point) with winning bets of 11 and 25 at Betfair (10.45 and 23.75 after 5% commission), a winning bet of 17 at Ladbrokes and a winning bet of 7 at William Hill. These bets were from the Dutch Eredivisie, Portugese Liga Sacres, English Championship and Turkish Super Lig respectively.
Betting 4 correct scores per match resulted in a loss of 15.25 as we lost the Betfair 11’s and William Hills 7’s due to that correct score being dropped.
Cheers for now,
Sgt Rob.
