The cricket season has started again. The first match of the season was on Saturday, which means with today being Wednesday it will be another 48 hours before I can walk properly again, and not like a 90-year old who doesn’t wince at every doddery step. Getting my socks on has been a right trial, I can tell you.
The reason I’m telling you this is that this means I more or less knock out betting on a Saturday from now until September. I’m hoping to be able to get a few Lucky 15s down early doors perhaps, but other than that there’ll not be much going down, and of course in the normal run of things Saturday is by far the busiest day.
All of which means that a larger percentage of my staking than normal will be going onto the week’s golf tournaments, and that in turn means the highs and lows are likely to be more pronounced. A winner will make a big difference, but how much do we lose in the meantime before the winner hits? Without other, shorter odds-based betting around it, it’s likely we’re in for a bit of a roller coaster ride over the summer months.
I had an email from a reader who was puzzled by that last week I was showing a 6% ROI from the beginning of the month but was standing at -279 points for Weekly Golf Value,
The answer is that the £ value per point differ greatly between strategies and services. So for example in monetary terms, one point staked on a DD/HH bet is ten times that of one point for WGV. In fact, Edwards Tips £ value per point is 50 times greater than WGV!
My £/pt value is a reflection of the advised staking. It’s not unilateral across each service.
I hope that makes sense. Let me know if not.
