As we hit another tournament winner last week, I said the regularity with which winners were being found was getting “silly”. Quite what word I should use to describe the situation now, after PGA Profit picked Patrick Reed (winner of this week’s tournament at 25/1) I have no idea!
That means that each week of January has seen one of the three golf services tip the winner. Has there ever been a month like it? For the life of me I can’t imagine so. My final month figures for the golf portfolio are extremely impressive, and that’s without backing the winner of the first tournie of the month via Weekly Golf Value (I hadn’t signed up at that point) and stupidly missing a second place in-play pick from PGA Profit last weekend. So the figures are good, but could have been a heck of a lot better. A mention too, for the fact that WGV has literally doubled its bank this month, which I think is the first time I’ve ever seen a service do that. Incredible stuff.
Talking of Weekly Golf Value, they ended up producing a small profit this week too after picking two that finished in the frame in the US (including Tony Finau who ended up in second place to Reed, although at no stage during the final round did I feel him the likely winner) and one placed in the European event.
As you’ll see in Wednesday’s post when I draw up the figures for the entire portfolio for January, golf has proven to be by far the biggest contributor to the overall numbers. Wouldn’t it be lovely to see a repeat in February? Of course betting being what it is, and the fact that at some point we’re going to have to see a reversion to the mean, it’s unlikely. But you just never know…
