Let’s continue on our update by taking a (brief) look at the Bookie Bashing Racing Tracker and the performance of what I call Value Bets sourced from the various Bookie Bashing tools and Bet Tracker.
There really is nothing to report on the Racing Tracker as finding Lucky 15s from this has essentially ground to a halt. It’s a temporary halt, but I’m not at all sure when using this Tracker will resume.
The figures are, therefore, exactly the same as the last update:
Bookie Bashing Racing Tracker (Lucky 15s): Staked 3,995pts, -489.11pts, roi -12.24%, roc -32.6%
The fact is that I don’t want to put undue strain on online accounts and would much rather concentrate on using cash in shops, and here lies the problem. I’m not currently able to get out and about at lunchtimes with any level of consistency to get the bets down. This will change, but for now I/we have decided to reallocate the funds elsewhere within the services/strategies followed.
It feels a little strange to be doing this. After all, the Racing Lucky 15s were by far my most lucrative source of betting income in 2023, but when Sky Bet restricted my lad’s account (it is still of use, just not as useful as it had been until then) this is the decision we took.
The Tracker isn’t going anywhere. Just going to have to concentrate on hitting shops again when able.
As for the Value Bets, this is where we stand:
Staked 5,012pts, +635.51pts, roi 12.67%, roc 42.36%
As you would expect, the Euros have been dominating this sector, and we’ve been pretty busy on the Exchanges, taking advantage of value being found in the Enhanced Specials offered up by BetDaq and Matchbook. This really is a great bank builder – liquidity isn’t always great, although better for the Euros, but even to small stakes you can keep a regular churn of profit coming in.
In addition to those we’ve been searching for value in the Anytime Goalscorer markets and had recently started looking at players being carded. The latter has brought great early success with 3 of the first five bets being landed.
What we have found though is that there have been a couple of instances of a particular match proving to be the source of good profit, or a fairly significant loss. Siding with the Germans and players to score plus Enhanced Specials on the first match of the tournament – Germany vs Scotland – got things off to a great start. But there have been one or two matches since, particularly once the group games had been completed, where scoring was low and bets on players to score or shots on target accumulated a significant loss on the match. I’ll tally everything up across the tournament and see how we’ve fared after the final at the end of this week.
Finally for today, a mention for the second winner in consecutive weeks for Weekly Golf Value, with 20/1 shot Davis Thompson landing the spoils in the US last night. Great to see WGV find some consistent form and my ROI from finding bets for myself using the Golf Tracker, and now simply following WGV advice has broken the 10% ROI marker for the first time this year.
