A new country, but another one of those weeks.
That’s right, I’m now living in Milan. I thought it was about time to take this show on the road. If you’ve been a long time reader then you will know about my love of travelling. The last big trip I did, I had a trusty monkey placing my bets, this time it’s all me. I thought with the soccer season ending, now was a perfect time to really give travelling and betting a go. The fact that it is getting cold in Australia and warm in Europe also helped with my decision. For the next few months I am only betting on Tennis, MLB, AFL, and NRL. Tennis takes up 20 minutes a day, MLB 10 minutes, AFL an hour a week and NRL 30 minutes a week. That’s a total of 5 hours a week for the next 3 months.
My travel plans include a few months in Milan, London, New York and various US cities. All up 6 months of chasing the sun. Italy has already thrown up a few issues, with a filter in place to not allow betting on sites that are not licensed in the country. Lucky I was prepared via a VPN and logmein.
This week was another very frustrating one, the slow weekly climb happened again and on Friday night I went to bed sitting at $70,000 profit for the year. My hopes were high that the last month was just a blip and I was back to my winning ways. I woke up to the worst MLB day in history and massive losses in the AFL. By the end of Saturday I was back at $58,000. So very frustrating.
The AFL managed to make up for most of the Saturday losses and ended up down just $1,500 for the week. Tennis lost the same amount. Onthepunt NRL has had a bad start to the season and lost another $1,100 this week. After losing $7,000 in one day, the MLB model almost recouped all those losses, ending the week with a loss of $400. XX Draws lost a whopping $4,000 and to be honest, I’ll be glad to see the season end. I will be doing a write up on each soccer model when the season has ended this weekend. FB Elite went 1 from 2 to be the only model in profit with a $1,300 gain.
This week we have the French Open so a large number of bets. But it is also inter-league in the MLB, so no bets until Saturday. The only other bets will come from the AFL, NRL and possibly FB Elite and XX Draws.
Hoping for a pickup in results, but if this year has taught me anything, it’s that I have no say over when and where the profits will come from.
