Can’t say that the past week has hit the right notes. It hasn’t even, as Eric Morecambe once said, hit the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order. Apart from Sys Analyst all the notes have been duff ones.
Adding to the frustration has been a severe case of Seconditis on the golf. I was on Thriston Lawrence at a nice enough price for the Dubai Invitational – he finished a shot second. This follows on from, remember, the previous week’s second by one shot Theegala, and continuing the pattern I had Russell Henley on Sunday night who failed to make a play-off by, yep you’ve guessed it, one stroke.
Overall this month has just dipped ever so slightly into the red, but oh how different it could have been!
What has been notable is the relative lack of turnover. With the cold weather biting, forcing the abandonment of a number of race meetings, I’ve placed just a small handful of Lucky 15s and those have been as miserable in their returns as the grey clouds and biting winds we’ve had round these parts. On top of that, I’ve not had one single DD/HH bet, nor anything last weekend for the NFL Strategy (and this weekend coming looks likely to blank here too).
As mentioned, the only bright point came from Sys Analyst on Saturday, who gave a very nice 33/1 winner. A winner was needed to be fair, but to get the year’s first in such style brought a rare ray of sunshine to proceedings. Let’s hope this sparks Sys Analyst into a bit of a better spell.
Below are the YTD figures, and I’ll be back soon (hopefully tomorrow) to answer a query about Matchday Profits, a service my lad is (still) using to help build up his betting bank. There’s also news soon of a new addition to the portfolio, and a heads up to the new SBC free offering, Account Angel. Read more about that in the meantime, here.
