Week 1 of the new year has been notable by its absence of very much betting action at all. With the weather forcing the abandonment of race meetings, opportunities to get Lucky 15s down was somewhat restricted. So ultimately turnover was lower than it is usually, but I’m not complaining about an 8% ROI achieved. You won’t find me complaining at the end of any week that shows a profit!
Leading the way was the Half Time/Full Time NFL Strategy with wintry weather in parts of the US affecting the Total Points line that this method revolves around. There were five games that qualified, and although only one produced the goods, that was enough for a very healthy profit overall. There’s a lot of volatility attached to this, so who knows when the next winner will be. To be fair though, I thought we were a little unlucky not to get at least another one landed, with how the games panned out.
Without hitting any spectacular winners the Bookie Bashing Early Pay Out Tracker provided most of the action and a decent amount of profit. It’s only been four weeks I’ve been using this, but it’s quickly become a firm favourite.
Touchdown Profit’s ridiculously good form continued with another winner, although they tipped another which I managed to miss, somewhat frustratingly. All my own fault. Anyway, as remarked upon last week, the form so far this NFL Regular season has been nothing short of immense. Let’s hope it continues through the Play Off season. If it does, it will have been a vintage year for TP!
At the other end, Sys Analyst has yet to tip a winner in 2024, but let’s remember it’s early days yet! It was a somewhat underwhelming end to 2023 too, so I reckon that upswing will arrive soon.
Finally, golf was back and it was good to get some bets down. No win-only bets from me last week, but managed to get three that placed from the Bookiebashing Golf Tracker which meant a marginal profit. It could have been a lot better. Those of you following the SBC ‘X’ account and the bets Josh, Pete, Tom and I have placed will know that we were all on Sahith Theegala. Our man sent his putt on the last hole of the final round within millimetres of the cup, but instead it lipped out. That would have forced a play off at least, but it wasn’t to be. So near to a wonderful start to the golf betting year, but so far.
