First of all, a huge apology for being a day later with this post than had been planned and promised. We had to say goodbye yesterday to the faithful mutt who, at 16 years of age had chased her last squirrel, bless her.
Without further ado, let’s take a look back at June’s betting and we’ll start with the main figures:
Staked 13,890.9pts, +720.11pts, ROI 5.18%, ROC 9.6%.
The target for each month is to look to hit bank growth of 10%, so the first thing to say is that at 9.6% ROC, June has been a decent enough month. However, a week before the end that ROC figure was up near the 12-13% marker, and the ROI near the 10% line. The last few days of June were anything but “blazing”.
My biggest overall drawdown this year has reached a depth of -467.45pts, and that was hit this Sunday just gone. A decent Monday from eSoccer Edge has eaten into that, but it shows how the last week has been a bit of a struggle.
Winner of ‘Service of the Month’ was yet again, for the third consecutive month, eSoccer Edge. Its figures were frankly, phenomenal…
Staked 3,480pts, +922.25pts, ROI 26.5%, ROC 61.48%.
Not sure I’ve ever had 60%+ bank growth from any one service in just a month’s worth of betting.
I am forcing myself to remember that 26.5% ROI is waaaaaaayyy over the expected long term norm, and as hot as the service has been running, there will come a time when it runs cold. The other issue is that the speed with which lines and prices are now moving has severely curtailed the number of bets I’ve been able to get on. I’m really hoping this can be got on top of, and am very willing to give time to see this happen. The fear is that this becomes a service that burns ridiculously bright but only for a short time before burning itself out. But I have total belief and trust in the management team to be doing everything possible to get on top of the problem.
A very poor last weekend across three tournaments meant that a fairly sizeable chunk was taken from the profits that Weekly Golf Value had amassed. Despite a winner in June, it will be a month that goes down as a “what might have been”. A number of close finishes and players throwing away seeming victory meant it could have been an absolute stormer. Still, I refuse to complain. Even with the last weekend’s disappointment, June finished with a perfectly respectable ROI and overall across 2025, my ROI is just a shade under 30%.
The third profitable service in June was The Value Machine Exchange Profit. Again, a bit of a dip towards the end of the month meant it didn’t finish at the sort of performance level it looked like it might at one point.
The exact same comments apply to Tilt The Odds and I’m waiting patiently for that one bet that transforms how it looks.
The one disappointment was SmartBetting Football which followed an extremely hot May with a cold June. It was never in profit, reached a fairly sizeable drawdown, but over the last couple of days started to process of clawing those back. It will.
And let’s not forget where this service is for me overall. Still on a 693pt profit and an overall ROI of 4.72%, which in a high turnover service isn’t at all shabby.
