For the first time this year, a strong week’s betting has been immediately followed by another, and it was almost entirely down to a nice winner on the golf in 50/1 shot Jesper Svensson for Weekly Golf Value. That really though, is only half the story.
I woke, as usual, at around 7.00 on Sunday morning (why is it the older I get the harder I find it to enjoy a lie in?). made some coffee (why is it that as I get older, although I can’t enjoy a lie in I do need a strong dose of caffeine before feeling moderately human?) and switched on the telly to see what my golfers were doing in the latter stages of the tournament in Singapore. And there was Svensson at the top by two shots, with Golf Betting Club’s wonderfully-named Kiradech Aphibarnrat (80/1) behind in second. The first shot I saw was the latter eagling the 18th to force a play-off!
It’s a nice position to be in as a bettor. A two-horse race when you’re on each at 50/1 and 80/1. Although my selfish slight preference was for Jenssen, bearing in mind I had twice as big a stake on him, albeit at the shorter odds, it was lovely to just be able to enjoy my coffee and see what panned out. What did pan out was an incredibly tense play-off and have to admit, I think I’d have had to have turned it off if I was only on one of them!
So, as it worked out, with the win and another three placers in the US event that Sunday evening, it was an excellent all round week for Weekly Golf Value, and despite the disappointment of Aphibarnrat’s ultimate defeat, Golf Betting Club were able to enjoy another profitable few days.
Away from the gold and it was, as had been noted in my previous Bet Diary post, a very quiet week. The Bookie Bashing Early Pay Out Tracker usually generates most turnover, but due to the lack of domestic football as a consequence of the infernal and completely superfluous international break, only managed to get five Lucky 15s down all week. Only three Value Bets from the same outfit’s Bet Tracker too, no DD/HH strategy bet….you can see the impact.
Sys Analyst was able to carry on as normal of course, and generated a bit more profit to keep pushing forward, but sadly the horses was the main drain on resources last week with the Lucky 15s from Bookie Bashing Racing Tracker enduring a horrible few days. I thought we were about to get a major boost from these just yesterday when the first horse in a Lucky 15 came in at 20/1, as did the second at 9/2. Here we go! Pants were being removed (Josh!) and about to be placed on head, but that would have proved to be premature with how the two remaining horses ran. Oh well, that big win will arrive some day.
