I had been intending to post an update to the figures but to be honest this week has been so slow as to make doing this a bit silly. Let’s just say it’s been really quiet and I’m about a tenner on the week. Woo Hoo!
The second half of an Interlull break is quieter than the first, and I tend to forget this. At least with internationals to be played, there might be some Value Bets to be found. Very few this time, for me anyway. But then when the internationals have all been done and dusted as they were earlier this week, then there is other than horse racing, very, very little for me to bet on. And guess what. This week saw the first meetings of the winter abandoned due to snow and frost, and so turnover there hasn’t exactly been busy.
Thankfully, it’s all about to change. I’ve updated my FPL team, and that tells us that proper football is back, and with it should come more betting opportunities. Thank the Good Dennis Bergkamp above for that!
Meanwhile, has anybody joined the “new” (it’s not really) BlueSky platform? There seems to have been something of an exodus from X, and frankly I’m not surprised. It has felt in recent months that it has been impossible to scroll through X without being bombarded by videos showing violence and physical abuse, expressions of far right wing-oriented hatred, or questionable propositions from various young ladies who don’t seem that interested in the Arsenal or betting.
I’ve got to admit too, that I’ve kinda been put off actually using Twitter/X as a result. Anyway, BlueSky feels a lot like Twitter used to back in the day. Messages are posted chronologically on your timeline, easy to limit only to people you actually follow, and looking at other’s messages it actually feels people are being respectful to each other. Strange, but true!
So, I’m gonna dip my toes into the BlueSky water (air?) and start posting the odd thought up there over the weekend, now there’s actually going to be some sport that might be worth commenting on. If you fancy, give me a follow at @rowanday.bsky.social (an imaginative handle, I know), and I’ll follow right back. Promise.
Right. Let’s get back to actually placing a decent number of bets again. May the Force be with you all this weekend, and I’ll see you the other side…
