I sat down to research this thinking it would be about Semenyo being a breakout star. What I found was something different.

He's been really lucky, but the rest of Bournemouth has been really unlucky. They might weirdly get hot even if he cools off?

Antoine Semenyo will slow down, but Bournemouth won't

Why I like the Cherries despite doubting their star's hot start.

Antoine Semenyo is out-performing his underlying numbers by a surprising amount. But even when he comes back down to earth, Bournemouth will still be a great team.

We wish the club football was still on, but since we all have to deal with international break together, we might as well find the most interesting football we do have to watch.

What you should watch this international break

Football never stops for the true sickos, but everyone should pay attention to this international break as almost 10 World Cup participants will be decided.

from @kimischilling.bsky.social in the @thetransferflow.bsky.social newsletter today

the lack of passing in Tottenham's midfield is just spectacular, and I don't understand re-signing Bentancur in the context of a team that desperately needs to open up a roster spot for a passer

Crystal Palace are gonna extend their unbeaten streak to 19 matches. They've been playing at a 68 point pace in the PL since the beginning of 2025, and sit in 3rd so far this season. I wrote about this run of success by them for

This week's article for @thetransferflow.bsky.social is on Crystal Palace. They've been rolling in 2025 so I wrote about their success, including:
- Bend but don't break mid-block
- Speed attacks
- Shifting PL tactical meta + Glasner's coaching scalability

+.5 on the CL last night.
+ 2 on the Championship.

A +4.5 midweek!

(If you bet 10£ per match in the analysis, you would have won about 40£)

Feels amazing to start the Variance Betting season on a heater.

Ted Knutson @mixedknuts.bsky.social · 7d

+1 on CL bets last night.
+1 on Championship as well.

More to come on both of those leagues in the Variance Betting column later today.

We produce gambling analysis for the EPL, English Championship, and UEFA Champions League.

And we are VERY good at it.

Crystal Palace are 3rd in the Premier League, and Oliver Glasner is getting linked to jobs at richer clubs.

What's working, what makes their system unique, and why it looks like they can keep winning:

Correct, the big corporate books limit winners. If you show patterns of winning play with large bets, you'll get limited to $1000 per day in under 24 hours. And if you're really good, you'll get limited to $1 bets.

Steve Dean @stephencdean.bsky.social · 9d

I don’t think big corp books want any sort of skill based gambling. They have to pay for rights and employ people to set odds, this eats into bottom line where online casino doesn’t. Yesterday, Irish Cesarewitch horse race, 30 runner handicap. Some books betting to over 170%!

The online gambling space is full of scammers.

The bookies are turning sports betting into a rigged game that no one can win.

We want to help people who enjoy betting on football avoid getting screwed.
