As we move into summer, the dynamics of what I bet on shifts a bit, and this year is going to shift significantly. The main factor having a direct impact is that as you can imagine, Saturdays tend to be the busiest betting day of the week, and by quite some distance. But as of this week just gone, I am now unable to do much on Saturdays. Team meeting time for the afternoon’s cricket match is 10.30, which doesn’t leave much time for betting.
Take this Saturday just gone. I was able to get the Bookie Bashing Early Pay Out Tracker Lucky 15s on, and that was it until I managed to jump on the Sys Analyst bets using 4G at about 1.00ish, and that was dependent on the team I play for batting first!
Why doesn’t your son do it for you then, I can almost hear you ask?
Well, simple reason. He plays too.
The biggest effect is on using the Bookie Bashing Racing Tracker. Due to the ever present threat of bookmaker restrictions, we’d always wait until at least 10.30 on the Saturday morning before putting any Lucky 15s down, and I’d then drive around various shops to get more down in cash. Well, that’s not an option any more and won’t be until late September. We never put Lucky 15s down on the horses during the week anyway, unless there’s a big Festival (eg. Cheltenham) on, so suddenly horse racing Lucky 15s have hit a temporary halt.
I can still quickly look for value in the Enhanced Specials markets on the Exchanges before I need to leave the house, but again because of the time liquidity isn’t good, so not really able to get much down there, either.
Reduced turnover across the summer months has been a perennial issue, but this year I intend to do something about it.
