It feels like it’s been for ever! But yes, yesterday was a profitable day. It may have been to the tune of just under a tenner, but at this stage I don’t care. After two weeks and the last golf winner, it feels good to not be marking down a lower low.
Contributing to the profit in a small way yesterday, was a new service introduced, but I’m going to write about that next week. There’s a lot to say, but having only used it for two days, I’ve not yet quite ready to articulate thoughts as I’m still getting used to it. Watch this space for more on this.
As for the services/tipsters we are familiar with, well it’s still only Weekly Golf Value that can hold its head high this month. We had a losing week overall last week, despite getting three golfers to place, but the losses were relatively small and the ROI for the month remains at an excellent level (40%).
We’re then in the realms of damning with faint praise, as in second place in the league table for August is the Bookie Bashing Early Pay Out Tracker which is “only” running at a minus ROI of 28%! To be clear though, I’ve not yet been able to place as many Lucky 15s as I would have liked (just 15 as it stands) although the last couple of days have seen that number grow for matches being played over the weekend.
The Value Bets come next. It’s been noticeable recently that I’ve needed to look at the price boosts at BetFred, William Hill and Ladbrokes – who all have offices near to me – myself, and then use the Bookie Bashing Bet Builder to find value. No problem doing this at all, in fact I find it quite therapeutic. Or at least I do until the bets go on to lose!
I mentioned the woes of Sys Analyst yesterday and so far the York Ebor meeting has not shown any respite, despite a couple of near misses.
And bringing up the rear is WinnerOdds Football. The ROI may “only” be -9.7%, but that’s enough for a drawdown equating to -17.3% of the bank. If I could be granted just one wish for this weekend (other than Heung-Min Son to miss a hat trick of penalties as Arsenal cruise to a 5-0 win away to the Villa, it would be a good weekend for WO Football. Come on, mighty Zeus! You know it makes sense!
