First thing I’m going to say – and I want to emphasise this – is that what I am about to write is not criticism, nor me passing judgment. It is merely my very limited experience to date, and it is around the fascinating new eSoccer Edge service.
I’ve only been trialling for a little more than a week, to very small level stakes. Because of the high turnover nature of the service however, the total amount staked has soon built up and in fact it lies second only to WinnerOdds Football in how much I have staked on any one individual strategy or service this month.
There is no doubt that eSoccer Edge keeps its followers busy. But it was very interesting to read that very recently, turnover levels had spiked. The reason for the spike was a sudden burst in the number of goals being scored. I’m not going to go into what might have caused that here, but the net result was a period of adaptation for the model. From what followers were told, this is all part of an expected cycle. One that is typified by some sharp losses before a period of stabilisation and then sustained profiteering as the model has adjusted but the markets have not.
It all made sense, to be honest, and I felt the approach I would take would be to simply carry on betting as normal. I was already using small stakes after all (this is a trial), and if there was an uplift coming, I want to be on it from the start.
How have things fared since?
Well, I lost the profit I had previously made and then some, and I’ve not yet really started to make inroads into the losses. I’m uncertain how long the cycle as it was described takes to progress. Time will tell on that front. What I would say though is that my personal betting on eSoccer Edge has stabilised and I’m breaking even today. Yesterday was another losing day, which followed a more or less level day which followed the sharp losses suffered at the start of the week.
Read into all that, what you will! I’m not sure there is too much to read into it to be honest. Other than this does feel like a fairly volatile period.
I shall continue to follow with interest. And obviously, will continue to report back here.
Elsewhere and there does appear to be something of a heater arriving for The Value Machine. There’s one bar of the electric heater on and we’re just waiting for the other bars to kick in.
I’ve literally made a couple of quid using Winners Odds Football, but as ever the weekend’s activity will dictate how the week shapes up there. And not much else to report.
See you Monday.
