So after last week bemoaning my Saturdays and how badly they had been going recently, The Value Machine produced a good one and Sys Analyst had an absolute stormer! With WinnerOdds Football following that up with a strong Sunday, it wasn’t a bad weekend of betting all told.
I wasn’t actually able to get on as many bets as I would have liked this weekend due to circumstances beyond my control, so I was thankful that a large proportion of the WO bets were accumulated through the previous week, and same with the EP Tracker. I was however, able to jump on some racing bets issued on Saturday, and I was bloomin’ happy I could, as things worked out.
Sys Analyst is the one to take the biggest plaudits. With the Breeders Cup taking place Stateside and a couple of good meetings on this side of the Pond, there was a fair amount to get stuck into. The Real Whacker in the big race at Wetherby was the pick, landing decent odds carrying a decent stake. I don’t want to go too much into individual winning bets, but there were a couple of other crackers too.
The only downer was the Bookie Bashing Early Pay Out Tracker which has an uncharacteristic bad week. Nothing to say about it really – just a bit of bad variance.
So not too much to talk about really. One thing did manage to rile me though, and perhaps it should come as no surprise when I tell you it was refereeing standards that did it…again!
Now this isn’t my natural antipathy to Sp*rs but anyone who watched their match against Aston Villa on Sunday will know that Rodrigo Bentancur committed the most obvious, blatant, nailed on yellow card foul in the first half. He went sliding in, studs up, ball had gone, and took out the man…from behind. Only ridiculously inconsistent and downright incompetent refereeing could prevent my bet on Bentancur to be shown a card from paying out, and we all know the incredibly high standards demanded of our Premier League referees would make sure that never hap…..oh.
I despair of our refs. I really do. It would take a lot for them somehow manage to sink even lower in my estimation, but when they start costing me winnings, well, they’re reaching a new low.
