tom27111 Posted 14 January 2016 Posted 14 January 2016 Interesting Stat. ML Level stake betting to £1 stake for each of his results since the start of the season +£87.65 profit. Seems hes not that bad! For an outlay of £242 it's not that impressive really. For a so called expert.
Nalis Posted 14 January 2016 Posted 14 January 2016 For an outlay of £242 it's not that impressive really. For a so called expert. Themightyfin isnt saying its impressive, just that its not necessarily as bad as people make out.
Jimothy Posted 14 January 2016 Posted 14 January 2016 Well no it is, form switches at times, us at West Ham last season for example. He fancied them to pick up, fancied us to drop off. It's his opinion My main point aside from the fact he does actually predict enough results to win every week, is that predicting football is not a strict science, if it was the general public would rich and the bookies poor. You want to call him a **** for the way he is or the fact he ridiculously thinks Alaska is a country fair dos, you want to call him out for predicting results, you have a go. He's not predicting a league table though is he, as much as people keep referring to that comparison table, he's predicting a score on an individual game basis. So he can think we're going to fall off all he likes but surely against the likes of Swansea, Newcastle etc anyone with an ounce of knowledge of football would predict a team doing relatively well at the top end of the table to come out on top. I expect West Ham will fall away from challenging for the top four this season, but I still fancy the to beat Newcastle this weekend.
Hollism Posted 14 January 2016 Posted 14 January 2016 Tbh only scoring 2 against Villa would be like a defeat.
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 14 January 2016 Posted 14 January 2016 I predict Aston Villa 2-0 Leicester City
LanguedocFox Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 Great lead article in The Grauniad's football newsletter, The Fiver yesterday: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jan/14/the-fiver-leicester-tottenham-liverpool-arsenal-check-out-this-se-oh?utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=The+Fiver+main&utm_term=150769&subid=2714395&CMP=EMCFTBEML853. The description of Lawrenson as a "thatch-haired Nostradamus" is one to treasure.
Number 6 Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 He acknowledged the discrepancy this week: Leicester are another team far lower in my league table (see bottom of page) than in reality, but I am not the only pundit that expected their results to have tailed off by now.
Stevosevic Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 Leicester are another team far lower in my league table (see bottom of page) than in reality, but I am not the only pundit that expected their results to have tailed off by now. I have got Aston Villa in their correct position, however, and I do not see it changing much any time soon. Villa ended their long wait for a victoryagainst Crystal Palace on Tuesday but I do not see them winning as many games as they will need to stay in the top flight, especially because the teams above them will pick up points too. Lawro's prediction: 0-2 Jordan & Bellew: 0-4
M0901 Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 The end is nigh He's predicted a win for LCFC in a football match
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 Oh **** Lawro has predicted a win so it's a nailed on defeat then 1-0 Villa
foxes_rule1978 Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 He has done it now guaranteed defeat on Saturday
lgfualol Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 What are the other games he predicted us to win on?
Rasmic123 Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 What are the other games he predicted us to win on? arsenal and liverpool
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 arsenal and liverpool That's a lie! He hasn't predicted a single Liverpool loss yet
Gerard Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 For an outlay of £242 it's not that impressive really. For a so called expert. You have to be kidding, if those figures are correct (which I doubt) that's a 36.2% ROI. I'm a professional gambler and make less than 1% on ROI but I do trade for high volumes in in running markets like tennis. If I knew someone who was worth anywhere near 36.2% over a much bigger sample size I'd be all over it as would any professional gambler in the world.
Rasmic123 Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 That's a lie! He hasn't predicted a single Liverpool loss yet ive been foiled!
Hammered Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 Blimey, you guys are so screwed. Lawro Strikes Back.
Corky Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 What are the other games he predicted us to win on? West Ham away and Aston Villa at home. He hasn't predicted us to win since September 13th until this week. http://www.myfootballfacts.com/Mark_Lawrenson_Predictions_2015-16.html
Tuna Posted 19 January 2016 Posted 19 January 2016 On Five Live this evening they were going through all the players that make up the strong British core to Bournemouth's team and how Eddie Howe was hada lot of British players since promotion. Lawro pipes up with Josh King.
Manwell Pablo Posted 19 January 2016 Posted 19 January 2016 On Five Live this evening they were going through all the players that make up the strong British core to Bournemouth's team and how Eddie Howe was hada lot of British players since promotion. Lawro pipes up with Josh King. Oh come on, easy mistake to make (what a numpty)
Jimothy Posted 19 January 2016 Posted 19 January 2016 I assumed Josh King was British until I checked last year. But then again I'm not paid to talk about football
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 22 January 2016 Posted 22 January 2016 Leicester v Stoke I can totally understand why Leicester rested so many players in their FA Cup replay with Spurs in midweek, because they have got a serious chance of making the top four. Stoke have a similar issue here, because they go to Anfield on Tuesday for the second leg of their League Cup semi-final. I don't think Mark Hughes will rotate too much this weekend, but Leicester will be at full strength and I think they will get back on the rails. Lawro's prediction: 2-1 Ice Cube & Kevin Hart: 1-1 SHIIIIIIIT.
lgfualol Posted 22 January 2016 Posted 22 January 2016 Now he predicts us to win? After some off the pace performances? And with some sensible reasoning? I miss the days of "Stoke will play their u18 team, and Leicester are bound to lose sometime so 0-4 to Stoke.
waylander Posted 23 January 2016 Posted 23 January 2016 'Twas on a dark and stormy night the wind was running wild. The lonely Leicester manger thought of his wife and child he also thought of his players while lying awake in bed. Mark lawrenson the blooming idiot has predicted us to win in stead. 2-1 city will take that
Aus Fox Posted 23 January 2016 Posted 23 January 2016 No Rachel, Lawro presicting a win, do we have any lucky omens left?
