I am feeling frustrated with my betting at the moment. It feels for all the world like a midsummer lull. Circumstances are such that it’s all been very stop/start over the past few weeks, and what’s more that is a situation that is to continue for another couple of weeks at least.
Having had one break a couple of weeks ago, I’m off on holiday again through next Monday to Friday. I’m tempted to continue my betting to try to make up for some lost ground, but in reality I know this isn’t the right thing to do. My wife, bless her, booked the break as a birthday present. The last thing I should do is take up some of that precious time in front of a laptop getting bets on.
To exacerbate the problem, last week – which should have been a normal betting week for me – was completely disrupted by an eye condition I suffer from flaring up on Thursday which knocked me out until Sunday. Keratitis – look it up…it’s a bugger. One of the symptoms is a strong oversensitivity to light. Looking at a screen, even for a minute, is impossible. So no bets again for the better part of last week.
Add to all of this the fact that I have one racing service that doesn’t see action until November, a sports service that is sporadic in terms of activity at the best of times and I missed the first competition for a while by being away, another whose main source of bets come from football leagues currently in their close season…you see why things have stalled somewhat.
So, betting this week, away next week, and time to reset and refocus. When I come back the main European footie leagues will have started their new seasons, and fingers crossed there’ll be more to get stuck into across the board.
Here’s hoping!
