Portsmouth-Arsenal 0-0 !!
7 of the last 9 matches I've been working on have ended a draw.
It seemed to me as if there were was a particular large number of draws (score draws) today. I feel we need more information on what tilts the scales.

Giving a rough guess, on average I would say that 45% of the matches end with a home win. 35% of the matches end with the away team winning, and about 20% of the matches end a draw.

On the same terms, about 65% of the matches end with the favourites winning. 20% of the matches end a tie, and 15% of the matches end with victory to the underdog.

Would anyone like to comment that estimate?

It was such an exciting match! I was only listening to the radio commentary but I still shut my eyes when Villa took their penalty in stoppage time.

Did you honestly have to shut your eyes while listening to the radio???

Portsmouth-Arsenal 0-0 ... I feel we need more information on what tilts the scales.

A chart that said nothing and a game that produced nothing. I thought Arsenal would win by default, but perhaps being the away team made a difference. Maybe the default only works when the odds-on fave is the home team? I will have to check this out.

According to some stats I noted a while ago, your estimate is fairly accurate. Home 45% (derbies 30%), Draw 25% (derbies 40%), Away 30%.

I've never been able to find any stats re favourites, probably because the degree of favouritism is so variable - whether they are odds-on or marginal etc.

Although stats are interesting, I don't see how they can help us in our predictions.

Force of habit I suppose

Man Utd back at the top of the table!

It was certainly a cracking match!

Would anyone like to comment that estimate?

I agree with your estimate.

I'll have to go over the draw charts in my collection when I have time to see if there are any common denominators but the ones I'm aware of now are : 1) No testimonies, nothing going on in the chart as in the Portsmouth/Arsenal chart (but I drew the same conclusion as Ficina because it was Arsenal). 2) VOC Moon as in yesterday's charts.

PS I hadn't read Ficina's post above when I posted.

We will have go to detail on some of the charts. That Chelsea-AstonVilla match ending 4-4 certainly was freaky. PoF square Uranus is one of the aspects that meet the eye.

I'm going with Ficina this afternoon and agree that City is in favour against Blackburn. I've tried combining it with a win for Ajax in a game that starts 30 minutes earlier in Amsterdam. Asc 18LE03 MC 1TA41. The setting is almost identical as in the UK with the visiting team, Twente, only 3 points behind Ajax in the upper half of the table. Total odds on the combination 3,44:1.

I also agree with Ficina and Andrew about Man City. It's rare that we can get such clear testimonies. I'll have a peak at the Ajax chart later.

Andrew
I get AC at 7 Leo 36 and MC at 15 Aries 44 at 7:15 in Amsterdam.

Try 8.15, Gem

Looking at these draw-charts;

3-4 of them show the 29th degree of the cardinal signs on one of the angles. There is an interesting case where the dispositor of the Part of Fortune is on the 4th. And also one where the Lord of the 4th is exactly sextile the MC. And another with the Moon, lady of the 4th, is in semi-sextile the lord of the MC. In combination with the lord of the Asc on the 4th.

Just some food for thought..
-----------------------------------
Update:
Ajax-Twente 2-2
ManCity-Blackburn 2-2

Oh my! We are draw-ridden at the moment..
Should probably try picking out the score-draws instead

Can this clustering of draws be related to the trine betwixt Saturn and Sun in Capricorn? Notice there is an Opening of Gates between Jupiter and Mercury, but which is concealed and controlled by the Sun. Mercury and Saturn are in reception. And then, of course, we had the Moon applying to a planet in the 4th house. The lady of the 10th detriment - the contest looses it's edge?

Andrew
Interesting observations on draws. Yes we're indeed draw-ridden currently

Re: Man City/Blackburn
What a misleading chart it was I was misled by the Part of Sucess on the MC, the Part of Victory on the AC and the Moon in the 1st. On closer inspection, the sigs themselves had no testimonies. There might have been also elements of free will, human errors/judgement and the individual's capacities/abilities. A Man City player could not live up to the opportunity of an open goal in the 1st half. A radio commentor said even he could score it. And then near the end of the match when Blackburn equalised, the goal was first disallowed (off-side?).

Thank you Ficina for pointing out the correct time

A plague of draws! This is the kind of result that makes me wonder whether astrology works at all. The only thing I got right was that Blackburn scored - one goal too many unfortunately Yet again Moon in 1st let us down; also ant Moon conj MC.

Gem, when I was using PoV and PoS (which I don't any more) I found they didn't work conj angles, only planets - and even then not very reliably.

The thing is, you get this sort of thing in every game. Missed opportunities, dubious refereeing decisions etc. Whatever happens during a game, and however it happens, it's the result that counts and that's what we're trying to predict.

Four planets crossed the angles during the course of the game (two for each side), but I ignored this because the testimonies didn't indicate a draw. In fact I'd probably have gone for 3-1. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. I seem to have lost rather a lot lately though

it's the result that counts and that's what we're trying to predict

Absolutely, but it's inevitalble human elements come into play. The chart only shows a possibility, an opportunity, a sort of energy with which we interact.

I put too much trust in POV and POS. They seemed to work rather nicely in the past...

Interesting observations again. Food for thought.

It seems we all lost money yesterday

It seems we all lost money yesterday

I even placed another (very small) bet after Blackburn scored their second. I felt so sure that City would score a late goal
