I assume that a few important injuries and transfers can really cripple teams and anyone that knows this before the bookmakers can get some very nice prices.

Thats for sure Mahatma. Ive been following the Scotish 1-2-3 leagues seriously since i got on the net in 2001. Previous to that i was limited to reading every newspaper i could and just picking things up from reports. I would like to think i showed profit in all them seasons my highlight being picking 12 winners one saturday at evens and above. This season though it has been shocking. Well shocking in Div 3 where everyone has been beating everyone even East Stirling getting in on the act. Montrose bought big and were expected to do well but i think theyve only won 3 games max all season. Berwick lost 5 of their best players to Stenhousemuir and had to draft players in from the junior and east of scotland leagues and Berwick have been sensational and Stenhousemuir more unpredictable than ever.
Division 2 has been not as bad as Div 3 and a few of the trends mixed with team news has made the form work out ok but again its been hard to catch some teams. Division one has been awful for me this season but i've managed to catch some nice priced aways. All in though i really think things are starting to level out a bit and i'm hoping for a good run in from now till the end of the season. I like it when teams have things to play for or not and team news which sometimes can be very iunreliable (check out
TDP radio for stations such as Westsound who have an hour talking before the games and go round the grounds for ayr, qos, stranraer and Gretna) these can be pretty invaluable especially if you need to know about key men etc Seems to me that managers even at this level like to play games with their injuries etc It's always the way for me in games i havent listened to the radio about and back against them due to them missing 1 or 2 key players and the key players who are out always pop up on

The regulars on the scots 1-2-3 thread are never usually far away Mahatma and you'd be a great asset to the thread but sometimes you will be left scratching your head about some results till later when you see what you over looked or missed or how your team should have been 5 up for ht but lost etc. Just like most leagues i suppose.
