OK, I don’t to do things like this very often, as the fundamental principles of BOTW are that you cannot possibly predict the performance of every team on a given day or over a full season.

But for a bit of fun, here is the adjusted BOTW forecast for the season ahead…

Let’s see how I get on against Sporting Index at season’s end!

Hopefully everyone enjoyed the preview series and found some parts of it useful.  I am really excited about the new season ahead and I am hoping that the BOTW community will really flourish this season with the addition of the forum and with a full year of results on the slate to support the site.

I’m not making any material bets this weekend, but I may have a couple of very small bets to embrace the festive period.  I am just making my mind up now whilst catching up on last night’s baseball.

And here’s to Birmingham and Bolton kicking their seasons off with at least a point!

Game on!
