Not too much to report for this week. A very small profit notched, but really nothing of any significance, and as is the case most weeks, the weekend will have the biggest influence on how we’re performing.
A quick summary today, then.
After the fairly disastrous end to last month, WinnerOdds Football has launched a strong recovery and has gained almost 7% bank growth since Monday. The weekend’s action awaits and if it can reach just average performance levels then that horrible Saturday a couple of weeks ago will be forgotten.
Nice to see The Value Machine getting the month off to a good start too, running as it is at 29.5% ROI, albeit from a small sample of bets. The returns have equated to bank growth of 6.1%, which again, is a good rate. I’ll be looking to raise stakes if I can with this service next month so a strong March will be most welcome (he says, stating the bleeding obvious).
One service I have already raised stakes for this month after the initial period of getting used to the service and how it works, is eSoccer Edge. My “getting to know you” period covering late January and February has been an…how shall I put it?…interesting experience. After a sharp drawdown as a consequence of new dynamics hitting the games being played in January, February was a fantastic time. I’d upped my stakes slightly at the start of Feb and was richly rewarded with an ROI of 13.8% and a ridiculous bank growth figure of just over 35%.
It should be noted that the ROI figure was way above long term expectations and I’m certainly not expecting double digit every month (6-7% seems to be a reasonable expectation based on long term history) but I was very happy to increase my “intermediate” staking level employed through February to “full time” level from the beginning of March. Naturally, since doing this, I’ve seen a (small) loss. I think that’s what is called Sod’s Law.
Exciting times though, and clearly the service is being tweaked in terms of the way it is run to protect the edge whilst maximising potential for people to sign up, providing levels of stake per bet based on perceived levels of expected value, etc.
As for the golf, well there was a fair bit of value available across the four tournaments (yes, four!) being played this week. Personally, I’ve covered just the three as for reasons previously explained I’ve decided to leave the LIV Tour alone this year, but even so staking across the three has added up to a significant amount. Just one round played as I write this post, and a number of players have got off to a decent enough start, but clearly very early days. Let’s see what the fall out is on Sunday evening.
Have a good weekend, all.
