We used to win play-offs to decide the winner of golf tournaments. I remember going through a ridiculous streak, during which if a golfer Weekly Golf Value had tipped ended up contesting a play off, you could calculate your winnings before they’d teed off at the first extra hole! Sadly, that doesn’t seem to be the case any more. Sam Burns last night, had a putt to win the tournament when playing off against Ryan Fox, missed by a matter of centimetres, and then went on to lose to Fox on what seemed like the 10th extra hole they played. A case of so near, and yet so far, which is often the way in golf betting.
Am I a greedy man? Yes. Yes, I am. For earlier in the day, Connor Syme, put up by WGV and backed at 150/1, won the KLM Open in Holland. A fantastic win which of course meant that a victory for Burns that night would have landed the second double-winning Sunday in a month!
Look, I’m not complaining. WGV is going through a hot streak at the moment and we love to see it. But it’s hard not to feel just a wee pang of regret at coming so close to another red letter day. I feel for those who may have been on and have backed Burns win only.
Anyway, the profit from the golf has pushed the month’s total profit to a high water mark, and the year to date figure too. I’m now running at 8.8% ROI for the year and so I can only say that things are going very well at the moment.
eSoccer Edge continues on its merry way, but I’ve got to be sensible enough to realise that it’s June ROI to date of 30.7% is totally unsustainable and will head south, probably sooner rather than later.
The only dark spot at present is the current drawdown from last month’s high performer, SharpBetting Football. The drawdown that started towards the very end of May has now reached the equivalent to 26.5% of the bank allocated to it. However, as always, context is required. It is still running at an ROI level of 7.3% from the time I started, with bank growth of 49.2%, which is excellent. Nothing to worry about, and just a case of keep putting on the bets, and wait for things to head up again.
