This is essentially a holding post until Wednesday, when I’ll stick up a March review. I can’t believe we’re a quarter way through 2025 already!
I can honestly say I’ve not enjoyed March one bit from a betting point of view. It’s been a Grind with a capital G. From a strong position part way through, one catastrophic day means that barring a miracle today (Monday), it’s very likely to end in a loss, and performance for 2025 to date is running well below par. Has it been a bit demoralising? I’ve got to confess, that yes, it has.
But we plough on. And with that in mind, I signed up to the newly launched eSoccer Edge service on Friday. To be honest it’s the one service that has done me ok this month, although the back end of last week wasn’t the best. The profits made in February were strong though after I jumped on the free trial opportunity that opened up in January. It is going to be interesting to see what happens moving forward but everything so far has shown real promise, including bouncing back from what was a really weird few days when something happened that effected the dynamics of the markets and not in a good way! I think that was a real test as things needed to be recalibrated, but whatever the guys did their, they did it well.
I can say that there was very little joy on the golf over this last weekend, and when I look back what happened last week kinda sums up the month of March as a hole – a big win at a big price missed. Those lucky enough to be able to follow the Weekly Golf Value bets more closely than I would have cashed in and will be sitting on a fine month golf-wise. Me, not so much.
I’ve a lot to think about moving forward. Put in very basic terms, I need to see more from WinnerOdds Football. I’ve said before that I do not doubt the benefits of the service. Too many people I know make too much money from it (and their tennis offering) to even consider that they are anything but a brilliant service, but the fact is for me, it’s not working as well as anyone would hope. Another five or six weeks or so and it will have been a calendar year since signing up, and 2,483 bets later I’m running at an ROI of 1.39%. Under normal circumstances I’d probably call it quits, but I’m conscious that changing the size of bank attached to following as I was finding my feet (which happens with all services I’m new to following, by the way) may be affecting the bottom line. Perhaps I owe it to provide some real consistency for an extended period and then reassess. Let’s see.
I would dearly love to get back to betting in shops again and putting some Bookie Bashing inspired and sourced Lucky 15s on the horses, and picking off value from the Bet/Combo Bet Trackers. I’m still not sure I can afford the time though. Not quite yet, anyway.
After intending to write very little today, I’ve almost provided a review of the month less the actual figures. On Wednesday I’ll post the numbers, and add any additional thoughts.
Until then…
