A very good, solid week in the end, but can’t escape the feeling that it could have been much better.
It was great to start making a profit with Winner Odds Football, and after 113 bets struck through the week, and being just shy of turning over the bank 100% (97%) an ROI of 7.28% is higher than I could have hoped for. When accounting for the slight loss the previous week, the total ROI now stands at 4.84%. It’s far too early to draw any conclusions as yet, but as the long term target here is to canter along at 5% ROI it was quite pleasing to see the early figures run so close to that marker.
Like I said last week though, the secret here is going to be getting on. Already I/we’ve lost 10bet, who have been quite pathetic. It’s not as if the liability for most individual bets is that big. We’re backing a lot of bets at very short prices – long odds on in a fair number of cases – but clearly 10bet have no stomach for a fight. No surprise there, I guess.
It was a strong week for Value Bets sourced from the various Tools available through the Bookie Bashing site plus the Bet Tracker. The returns have now all but eradicated the losses from the recent small drawdown and this week will hopefully see a push through the previous profit high. Six winners from ten Any Time Goalscorer bets by far the biggest contributor to the profits, and the ytd ROI of 20% is way higher than anything I could have hoped for.
Sys Analyst contributed well to the coffers too, although I was a little fortunate in a couple of bets not being backed due to price availability. I haven’t checked too closely, but where I was playing cricket on Saturday precluded me from striking any bets at all, and I believe I’ve come out the right side there.
The only slightly sour note was my golf picks from the Bookie Bashing Golf Tracker. I usually see myself backing the Weekly Golf Value picks if I’ve not already picked them up myself from the Tracker. For some unfathomable reason though, I neglected to do so last week for the PGA Championship. As a direct result, I wasn’t on winner Xander Schauffele, nor 2nd placed Bryson De Chambeau. What an absolute tool I am! A fine example of first class muppetry!
