Just a very quick round-up today of how the golf and sports services fared through the week just passed. All attention is really on Cheltenham this week, and there will be a Bet Diary update each evening to review the day’s action from my betting perspective. On that note, I will also be following the Pricewise with PCB picks in addition to whatever Racing Service 1 (who struck with a 7/1 winner on Saturday), Bet Alchemist (who had a very nice 8/1 winner yesterday), and Northern Monkey put up (a huge amount in the latter’s case!).
So without further ado, a basic outline of last week’s ups and downs.
I was incredibly unlucky with PGA Profit this week. I say unlucky, but the misfortune was to an extent, self-imposed. Three golfers (yes, three!) finished in a dead heat with a number of others for ninth place. Despite PGA Profit suggesting BetFred, Betfair and Paddy Power as the best place to strike the bets as they paid place returns down to 10th, I used Bet365. I didn’t have a viable BetFred account (I do now!), and Betfair refuse to let me put anything down with their Sports Book, as do Paddy Power. You’ve probably guessed what’s happened? Yup, Bet365 paid down to 8th. As a striker who has just missed the last penalty in a shoot out to lose the World Cup Final might say, “Oh, dear!”
Golf Insider nearly broke even with a 66/1 placer in Qatar, and a small loss for Weekly Golf Value overall.
Not anything of huge interest happening in the Sports portfolio, so I’ll bring this post to an end with the figures below.
Best of luck for Cheltenham, and don’t forget to tune in tomorrow evening for a Day 1 review. ‘Til then…
