I’ll be honest with you, things betting are a wee bit tiresome just at present. A more or less sideways week, a touch less than a touch more, which is a pity. If I take a step back and see that actually, the recovery from what was a really sharp drawdown early in the month has been pretty positive. But you know, it would be kinda nice to get things moving into positive territory again. The grind is grinding, if you catch my drift.
Let’s start with the positive, and from a pretty low position The Value Machine has been the model of consistency, and in fact for the month has now got to where I would like it to be. It has just stuck its nose above the 5% ROI line and I really hope it kicks on from here. I still can’t quite manage a profitable Saturday with it, although this week the loss was pretty small and was followed by a very good Sunday.
Saturdays have been a bit of a kicker for me all round, in recent times.
Frustrating times with the Bookie Bashing Early Pay Out Tracker which as always, through up a number of loss-making Lucky 15s, but but still just avoiding the big 4/4 winner that really kicks everything on again. Came very close over the weekend with two 3/4s, and if Hull had not buggered up against Sunderland yesterday afternoon, we’d be talking about an overall 30% ROI for the month. But they did, and we’re not.
Just a small loss with the Golf Tracker too. Much less by way of overlap between my list of bets and those of the Weekly Golf Value, and I believe I came out a little better again by having three placed in the US Tour tournament whilst WGV had just the one. Two of mine were at 70/1 too, so the loss overall amounted to little. There will be weeks of course, where I’m outperformed by WGV, but as I keep telling myself, with similar market coverage each week, over time we should end up in pretty similar positions.
A mixed weekend for Sys Analyst, Saturday bad, Sunday good (with two decent priced winners) so a claw back of some earlier losses here, and exactly the same comments apply to Winner Odds Football except the good day was the Saturday and poorer Sunday.
The elephant in the room is the performance of the Value Bets, which is almost a third of its bank down. As much of my betting here is on Player Cards, I can easily compartmentalize this by blaming the refs. They really are useless!
