April Update: I Loved That Hamster… Nine winners from nine on Saturday, and Justin Rose winning on the PGA Tour yesterday meant that for a second weekend in the month, [TipsterH] had a stormer. Shame I missed out on the first weekend, eh? This will have been a bumper month for [TipsterH] followers. That it is not as big a month for me as it will have been for others is, as you can tell, really winding me up. I need to let it go and move on. Honestly, I've not grieved so much since family pet 'Hammy' the hamster died back in '79. I loved that hamster. *cough* Still a good month… Still, even without this boost [TipsterH] has had a month to savour and was by far my best performing service for April. Although the figures don't go into last month's totals, it was great to see a long term bet on Brentford landed on Saturday, one of the few antepost bets I was able to place at fairly decent odds at the beginning of the footie season. I've had a couple of antepost losers too, but I've been fortunate in that the long term bets I have been able to place have come in, and some of those I wasn't able to have gone on to be losers. Swings and roundabouts I guess; the betting equivalent to that well worn football mantra of luck evening itself out over the course of a season. [TipsterH] April: Staked 102.5pts, +24.172pts A Gut Feeling on [TipsterJ] At the risk of tempting fate, and touching wood whilst offering a silent prayer, it is to be noted that there have been one or two signs of life for [TipsterJ], a service that has lain dormant for some time. I've made a lot of money from this service in the past, and although my faith hadn't completely dwindled, I couldn't help but wonder if perhaps it had seen it's best days. Although not a huge profit in the month gone, I did get the feeling that there was more consistency in their approach and it "felt" more like the service of old. [TipsterJ] April: Staked 27pts, +2.816pts Mr Consistent: [TipsterT] My most consistent service by far is [TipsterT], and April was another solid month for the South American expert. It's not the simplest service to follow – far from it in fact, with odds crashing fast – but happily for 80% of the bets that come through, I tend to be at the laptop at the time of release and so generally speaking, I'm ok. [TipsterT] April: Staked 169pts, +11.536pts. Dodging Bullets One of the more inspired decisions I've made about my betting recently was to drop the football Combo bets this month. I made this decision not because I felt the system has no merit (indeed, on the contrary), but because I hadn't fully settled on my own Combo strategy. Experience has taught me that if there is any lack of certainty in my method of following a service or tipster, or in this case a combination of tipsters, then it is better to stop putting the money down and wait until there is 100% clarity in terms of the way forward. What I can't claim is some great foresight that told me that [Tipsters X & Y], two huge contributors to the Combo method, would each suffer a torrid April. I can't imagine they would be great results and I feel I've dodged a bullet here. Feeding the Fink Tank Rounding up the summary of football services, and we come to the seemingly ever-reliable The Fink Tank. I know that, like any service/system, it has bad spells (seemingly the 2013/14 season was one of them), but this season it has been great. [Fink Tank] April: Staked 59pts, +3.945pts |
