As many of you know I have been writing the blog for over five years and despite not posting as often in recent months, have written some 3,600 + posts and circa 1.4 million words of content, enough to fill about 15 novels.
My blog output is now just a very small part of my betting portfolio and as such, is going to be increasingly subject to variance. If I am betting 15-20 games in a week and putting maybe one or two on here, there are going to be periods when all the losers, or all the winners are posted, it is kind of pot luck.
Regardless of which, there is still tremendous value in reading the blog IMO and I think that in the coming weeks I will get back to posting a little more, even if they are not all pre match previews.
I am happy to stand corrected, but I believe that over the last five years, no sports betting blog anywhere on the internet has come even close to posting the kind of quality previews and results I have, especially covering this number of events, it is simply impossible ! However big headed that might sound, it is true and I will put the full five year results up online shortly.
Every full year has shown a MASSIVE profit, I am a little behind in 2011 but have posted very little and doubtless will once again be in front come the end of the year should I carry on blogging.
2006 through 2010 the blog made a ROI of between 112.14 % and 137.75% those are astonishing returns and levels of consistency and we are talking about a large number of selections, not one or two hand picked here and there, which make the figures all the more remarkable.
Talking about all my selections for the last 12 months, not just those posted on the blog, I have been a little up and down with more swings that normal. I had a huge summer last year, with fantastic returns right through June, July, August and September, following on from an amazing early year result in the NFL when I posted a season's worth of profits in a few weeks, either side of those,it was not so good. That is very unusual, I would normally expect to be far more consistent and not on a roller coaster ride as regular long term readers will already know, but as I always say, this is gambling and anything can happen !
It is clear that I have an ego, you cannot do what I do without having a fairly high opinion of yourself, it wouldn't work otherwise. My pride has been hurt by a few comments received in the last few months by just a few readers of the blog, I tried to explain that with fewer bets winning/losing runs can always be more extreme, but some people seem to get more fun out of "knocking". No one has to read the blog, or bet anything I post, I am writing it for me, not for you. Having said that, this is the reason I have decided to post the full results today............ if you can point me to a better blog/service elsewhere then please do, I would love to read it ! Not one that has been running a few weeks btw and restarted on another web address after posting poor results on a previous website, like much of the spam I get !
Anyway, take a look at the figures and good luck with all your bets today.
