After a reasonably profitable week – nothing spectacular mind – I’ve managed to haul myself back above the break even line for 2024. Just. An ROI of 0.5% seems like not much return for a lot of running around. In reality of course, five weeks of betting is nothing in the wider context of things.
Most of the profit came from one Lucky 15 bet from the Bookie Bashing Early Payout Tracker which returned 16 points. It was one of many such Lucky 15s struck last week, with the vast majority of them producing a deficit, but much like the horse racing Lucky 15s it’s about waiting for the good one to hit home, and one was enough to see us nicely into the black.
Golf Betting Club found 14/1 winning favourite Joaquin Niemann in the LIV Golf event. I’m not too sure what happened there, but Niemann went off like the clappers but did something to merit being punished with a two shot penalty. Fending off Sergio Garcia in a play off the odds were landed, and further profit was made by 100/1 in play bet Ockie Strydom who landed the place spoils by finishing in a tie for 4th. Got to admit, halfway through the final round on Sunday the South African was tying for the lead and just one or two hopes were allowed to creep in. Alas, not to be, but a solid all round week for GBC.
It is still the Value Bets from the Bookie Bashing Bet Tracker leading the way for profit this year so far, and the ROC figure for these has now reached 20%. I can’t help feeling that a “correction” of sorts is due, as the 33% ROI is about 25-28% higher than I would expect it to be long term.
And finally for notable contributions, it was fantastic to see Sys Analyst enjoy a really good day on Saturday with a couple of very nice winners. Over the past week or so it’s gone from enduring a period of relative struggle to a service now boasting an ROI of just shy of 50% for the year to date. How quickly fortunes can change!
