Haha yeah, if he could wait for the end of chelt before he pushes any red buttons ill be happy with that..but some 2023 tickets will be in the bin FFS

The things that punting does - I’m now glued to the National League fixtures, hoping for the best each game re Kabongo. I might even start a shrine to Kabongo somewhere in my house and light candles before the games, but then would probably be divorced pretty quickly.

Not ideal tonight, Cheek (second in top scorer league for Bromley) netted one, taking his tally up to 16, so now 8 goals behind our boy. Thankfully only the one though.

Of others in contention, Dallas scored one for Solihull which takes him to 12 goals. No others to mention.

It’s torture every Tuesday and Saturday now. Just need a couple of blanks for the scorers behind him.

Absolute torcher, I have him in numerous multiples for Cheltenham in addition to a decent E/W single. In all my years gambling I can’t think of a crueller blow than his injury. Obviously my potential losses are nothing compared to the pain and disappointment he must be feeling so important to keep some perspective. It’s insane that despite him likely missing almost half a season that this 40/1 bet can still land. That said I’d have him odds against now probably around the 2/1 mark so think we’ll need a bit of luck somewhere down the line.

Anyone on here admit to using Proform, or having used it?

I've thought about getting it previously and just looking for honest opinions as to whether it's worth the outlay or not?

got it before because i was looking at data sources to build a db. Ended up barely using it as nothing really in there that you can't derive yourself from scraping and smartform db [if you can program, this is the best route imo]

I have used it before, to be honest I tend to wait for their offers when they do 50% off. The Platinum subscription is very useful for the bet / lay builder functionality where you can toggle on various things and it quickly filters selections for you, but it is expensive at close to ?200 for 8 weeks full price.

With platinum, you also get access to a telegram group where systems and bets are discussed which was informative. My issue is though - I only have a work laptop and couldn’t download the software on to it to run the systems, so in that sense isn’t worth it for me full price. However - when going racing I do tend to buy 24 hour access to scan cards more efficiently.

It’s decent though for sure - just DM me if you want any more specifics on what you can use it for etc.

Has anyone used a VPN on their phone before to be able to login to bookmakers? Going on holiday abroad for 7 days so I want the option to use it if needed.

Tunnelbear is pretty good for it

As a side, have any of you used livescore bet? If not bet ?10 get 2x?10 free bets. It’s not one of them sites that’s hard to navigate either.

Prior to the injury, I took a look at the market and he was 1/20 , was counting out winnings effectively - but there is still hope.

A bit of broadbrush analysis which may or may not help....

Kabongo has set 24 as the target to beat.

Top scorer tallies from previous seasons:

20/21 season - 23 (Cheek won it)
19/20 season - 20
18/19 - 27
17/18 - 27

Going off the past two seasons results, looks like a positive stat, two before, not so good.

Current season run rate

However, done some analysis this morning, where I have taken the goals to date, and, using the goals per 90 mins (taken from BBC sport) website, calculated the expected tally based on games remaining.

If all things remain equal, Cheek is going to land on 24 goals too....

	Player	Goals to date	Goals per 90 mins		Club games remaining	Current run rate	Expected finish		Vs Kabongo
1	Kabongo Tshimanga	24	0.9
2	Michael Cheek - Bromley	16	0.57		14	7.98	23.98		0.0
3	Kyle Wootton - Notts County	14	0.52		15	7.8	21.8		5.8
4	Tahvon Campbell - Woking	13	0.64		13	8.32	21.32		7.3
4	Paddy Madden - Stockport	13	0.5		13	6.5	19.5		6.5
4	Billy Waters -Halifax	13	0.49		15	7.35	20.35		7.4
7	Andrew Dallas - Solihull Moors	12	0.59		14	8.26	20.26		7.3

Drilling down into Bromley's fixtures, they annoyingly face more teams below them in the league than above (green denotes leagues higher in table).

	Opposition	Current standing
Bromley	n/a	7th
Away	Torquay	11th
Home	Aldershot	17th
Away	Halifax	6th
Home	Wrexham	5th
Away	Yeovil	13th
Away	Wealdstone	18th
Home	Altrincham	20th
Home	Dagenham	10th
Away	Eastleigh	14th
Home	Maidenhead	19th
Away	Boreham Wood	3rd
Home	Chesterfield	2nd
Away	Solihull	4th
Home	Dover	23rd
Away	Barnet	16th

All in all - we are definitely going to need some luck as you say Rhinestone, it's going to be tight, but we are not without hope here. I'm strapping in for some grim afternoons and evenings of watching the results come in.

Anyone else think we are at the stage now where we start to get a little rattlley with each other, noticed a few wee bitchy comments thrown about haha all part of the build up, tensions, excitement, nerves and what not! Just getting the popcorn out and trying to enjoy the ride!

Shut up

[That Horse]

knockando didn't want to quote your entire message but thanks for doing that. Very informative and also very amusing that a few of us are so interested in the English National League goalscorers this year

I reckon it'll be Kabongo 24, Cheek 24 going into the last day and Kabongo will be wheeled on in the last minute to score an overhead kick and send Bet365 into meltdown

[isitmarchyet]

Looks like we're in for some market moves today.

Press day at mullins Yard and I've seen one quote released
