This weekend was truly a weekend of two halves. All three services with bets on Saturday produced a loss. All four on the Sunday a profit. All told, we came up ahead. Enough to push the month to date and the year to date balance to a new high.
We had another Weekly Golf Value winner last night in Russell Henley (28/1), who snatched victory from what looked like, if not certain, probable defeat late in the final round. It was a pretty tough watch actually, but in the end Henley got the job done and secured a golfing profit for the week. WGV is on a fine run of form!
Henley and a couple of others that placed has pushed golf betting to a new profit high for 2025, but this week was one in which my using the Bookie Bashing Golf Tracker to identify my own bets in addition to those from WGV didn’t pay off. All it did was provide a number of more bets that didn’t provide a return, apart from one who had his placed returns split several times over as he finished joint 6th with about five others! Still, these are the swings and roundabouts associated with my approach. I’m sacrificing some level of ROI for, hopefully, a touch more stability. And believe me, I’m not quibbling about an ROI of 38%, which is what I have right now.
A half decent weekend for WinnerOdds Football has meant that I’m sitting on a new profit high for March for the service, albeit I still have a fair bit of the current drawdown to reclaim before I can push on again.
And finally in the run up to Cheltenham, The Value Machine has had a quietly very effective week. Not too many bets each day getting the price matched to Betfair SP, but a regular flow and enough to start accumulating a very decent level of profit (37.95% ROI). Regular readers will know that when similar has happened this year, a drawdown will make it a case of one step forward and one step backwards. This past week has felt like two steps forward, so let’s see what happens from here.
For all of you participating, best of Cheltenham luck to you.
