Really looking forward to the Smart-Bash down in London tomorrow. Will be the only time I go to Chelsea FC without Arsenal playing, of that there is no doubt, but for once I shall overlook the fact that I regard myself as being on enemy territory and just enjoy the occasion. If you’re reading this and going, come and say “Hello!”. I’ll be the one in the full Arsenal kit!
Last week was 99% losing, and 1% winning, with the winning bit coming right at the end. I was looking down the barrel of a bad week until Harry Hall won a play off in the PGA Tour tournament to land odds of 50/1 and give the remarkable Weekly Golf Value their third winner in as many weeks.
There are so many similarities with last year for WGV. The first half of the year proving to be something of a struggle before really hitting some form and making profit like there’s no tomorrow. I’ve made the equivalent of 39% bank growth this month alone, and my ROI is looking much more healthy than it did this time last month. Just shows how quickly things can turn around.
Tom Brownlee has been talking in his videos (well worth a watch as he visually records 25 days of betting, found on the Bookie Bashing website) of waiting for the heater to return when enduring a cold run. Stay in the game, and the good times will return. Hear, hear to that!
Weekly Golf Value Figures: Staked 5,805 pts, +995.32pts, roi 17.14%, roc 66.35%.
If you’re a WGV follower and thinking hang on, those figures for 2024 to date are much better than mine, don’t forget I used the Tracker for the first few months of the year. That has changed last month and this, as my son is putting down the WGV bets only using his accounts.
For July only, WGV figures look like this:
Staked 594pts, +581.19pts, roi 97.84%, roc 38.74%.
It’s The Open this week. Let’s see how we get on.
Not so positive have been the various Value Bets I’ve been placing, as you can see here:
Staked 778.5pts, -284.17pts, roi -36.5%, roc -18.94%.
Let’s make sure we keep this in context. For the year to date I’m up 474.89 points at an ROI of 9%. This is simply illustrative of how different methods and strategies can run either hot or cold. I guess that’s the advantage of having a “portfolio” as such. Avoiding putting all eggs in one basket can help ease the volatility.
With the Euros now over, my attention for these bets is turning more towards the World Matchplay Darts this week, and I’ll report back on how that goes.
Clearly though, no bets on Friday. Too much time travelling, and learning down at the Smart-Bash. Can’t wait.
