Week 1 Round Up

Quick end of week round up.

I'm very conscious that this blog should be more than just a profit and loss account but I also think that there is a place for including results on an ongoing basis. I know a large part of my being addicted to reading JP's infamous blog was to see how services were performing. I enjoy reading My Betting Life because the chap writing it has a portfolio of his own, and I like to see how it's going for him. One of my favourite parts of the monthly SBC newsletters is the section near the beginning that goes through the monthly performance of monitored services. So despite the fact that this sounds like I'm trying to justify myself, I'm making no apologies for posting up performance details from time to time. If you don't like it, bugger off!

Racing

Chasemaster grab the plaudits for the biggest contribution to getting 2012 off to a good start, finding winners at 15/8, 8/1, and 9/2. Top tipping in anyone's books! Felt for The Market Examiner on Monday when from five selections they had three come in second at average odds of about 1,990/1! Not to be deterred though, they had two from three come in yesterday at 11/2 and 5/1 which with an earlier winner at 4s have turned a profit despite hitting the woodwork so frequently previously. Winning Racing Tips and The Sportsman Racing have contributed winners and profits too. Nothing spectacular but nice and solid. Only On The Nose - uncharacteristically quiet this week - and Northern Monkey have missed out on making a profit but no real damage done at all.


Sports Betting

On The Oche were on James Wade to beat Adrian Lewis in the PDC World Championships. In a first to 6 set match, at 5-1 Wade, it was looking good. But oh no. If you didn't watch, you can guess what happened!

It's been very quiet for sports betting this week. The Football Analyst 7/22 found one winner from two, and Strike Zone Homes two from two, and that's been it.

Skeeve's back from his mid-season break. I managed to miss the odds tonight, trying to sort out various problems with the U9 footie team that I manage on a Saturday morning! Not best pleased. Bloody kids!
