I took a week off last week. Well, Monday to Friday at least. We went down to Devon, got a bit of (very) fresh air and took an opportunity to recharge the batteries. As a rule, I don’t bet now when on my holibobs, but with this being more a whim than a pre-planned holiday, and with it being a quiet week when it came to betting anyway (Northern Monkey had also taken a week off, there was no European golf event, no darts, no big midweek race meeting, etc.) I thought I may as well place my bets as usual. I must have spent an average of 10 minutes a day in front of the laptop, and I was fine with that.
In terms of golf betting, I’m pleased I did.
It’s been a tough time for Golf Insider, with several frustratingly close near-bu-no-cigar moments over the past few weeks including a couple of placed golfers the week before last, but then on Sunday patience was rewarded by Lucas Herbert winning the PGA Tour event in Bermuda at a lovely 66/1. This cut the year to date’s losses by a half and although we still have some way to get back into profitable territory overall, this was a big step in the right direction. Hopefully now the Golf Insider drought has ended, let’s hope a strong end to the year follows.
Herbert was also put up by Weekly Golf Value so Sunday was a good day! The previous week hadn’t been quite so successful for WGV as just one golfer placed across the two events, put this win pushed the profit high point up yet again and their form this year has been amazing, I’ve now hit 100% ROC for 2021 with this service, and bear in mind that I very cautiously have doubled the bank size that WGV themselves recommend for my own betting purposes. October alone has seen three winners and as they acknowledge themselves, such hot form is highly unlikely to continue forever. We enjoy it whilst we can.
PGA Profit is also experiencing some pretty hot form at the moment too, and Matsuyama winning Stateside the previous week continued that streak nicely. I know I missed a winner earlier in the season, but even so, my figures for PGA Profit this year leave me with a warm glow every time I look at them.
There was no return from the European event the week before last for PGA Profit Europe.
