Hey Carl,
I’ll look into just sportpunter models a little later.
Since July 1st 2012 following Tennis, MLB, NBA, NBL, AFL I am $62,457 in profit with $1.65mil bet. A 3.7% ROI. So it is doing better then everything else.

I use the spreadsheet found here. It’s awesome

Just about to start a fund like you have, but probably betting solely Sportpunter models.

I remember you saying a while back that your performance would have been better if you stuck to SP models, is this still the case?

Also, what do you use to keep record of all your betting, as it is quite substantial. I could imagine this completely buzzing out an excel sheet/s

Thanks in advance,
Carl

Comment on What will really happen with the Waterhouse More Joyous scandal? by admin

Hi Thomas, thanks for your views. I believe Gai did blame the jockey and John said he did the best he could with what he was told. I believe John told the jockey that if he didn’t feel right then to pull him up.

So far everything I have said has come to pass. Tom Waterhouse has no punishment, John Singleton has been slapped with a meaningless fine for bringing the sport into disrepute and Gai is fighting her charges.

Another weak display from a governing body, and the reason they will continue to do this sort of stuff.

Very true and well written.
As a past owner in my youth I given a very good lesson in not owning a horse(###) in fact .
The issue in question is as you put it the only person not informed was the owner.
Looking at the replay the horse was run up the backside of another horse.Question. WHY was the jockey not called in.He did not ride well

To answer your comment from last week, I do not know any golf services personally. I’m srue it would pay to find one though certain courses favour certain players due to hole positioning and which way they hit the ball right to left, high or low etc. Also the betting seems more influenced by recent results than it ought to be, plus so much can revolve around Tiger. Player match up bets are interesting too. Maybe you’d need to stick to the big tournaments more re limits but there are quite a few biggies.

I’m sure if you google you can find some services, good research can pay off in golf.

Hi, That was by far an outlier bet, The average bet size is $640. AFL bets are higher as I have more confidence in them and am using a moving bank. 5% of my bank is still within what most professionals say is the most to have on any one bet. But yes, it was a very large bet.

It was just one of those weeks where every model performed very badly, these weeks happen. I’m not expecting it to happen this badly any time soon again, but it could happen again this week.

Just need to look long term and understand it was a bump in the road.

Hi there,

Loosing such amount in one single week would lead me to think that you have been betting too much for your total bank. How can you lose 15% of your total profit in one single week ? And the one match with a 10.000 bet corresponds to about 5% of the total profit. Too much, imho…

Better luck next week!

Thanks Danny, It’s funny to see the excuses they come up with to accept these sponsors. The one I hear a lot is that it helps the integrity of the sport by allowing the bookmakers to work with the governing bodies to find fixed games and all that rubbish. Why can’t they just admit it is because they are willing to pay the most to become sponsors. The more they blur the lines between the teams and the bookmakers, the worse it is going to get.

I think your right when you say we should be betting the smaller markets and the ones the bookies don’t really want us to bet into, the issue then becomes closed and limited accounts.

2% is at the lower end of what I hopped for, I was thinking 2-5% was what I should expect, so it is within my expectations, but just barely. But that does include lots of errors that I have slowly gotten rid of, the portfolio still isn’t perfect yet and I will be making changes to the soccer section as you suggested.

I’m very interested in adding golf, but have tried it before without success. Can you recommend any good tipsters?

I know what you mean when you say “it was needed”. Still wish it never happened. haha.

Thanks again for your comments.
