Lockdown Losing but a big bet today for me
This maybe a bit of a rambling post put sometimes it’s good to get things “down on paper” and there is a purpose to it. November has been a weird up and down month betting wise and quite a stressful one on the personal front. As I live alone I have spent most of the time on my own bar meeting people whilst out walking and virtual zoom meetings with friends and chatting to people on the phone, it makes this occupation a very difficult one. When things go wrong I question my ev

Masters Recap, RSM Classic and Joburg Open
A quick recap on last weeks Masters – well it was a pretty good week thanks to Cameron Smith finishing tied second @ 125/1. He never really reached a low enough price on Betfair for me to trade into a decent win though I did trade enough to make sure I didn’t lose anything. Trading is never an exact science and I was concerned he could easily shoot himself out of it on Sunday but in the end he traded as low as 4/1, I was happy to take a decent place in the end.

20 years of betting memories - part 2 - golf

I guess in the past there weren’t so many odds comparison sites, there were more odds compilers who had a variety of opinion compared to now when prices are more or less identical amongst all bookmakers and finding value is therefore harder. With the advent of ex

US Masters – The Good, the Indifferent and the Ugly
Last week proved yet again in running is best with the couple of pre event plays bombing and landing a good e/w bet with Gooch @ 33/1 even if I probably backed him for the wrong reasons!
I have been betting on the US Masters for about a year now, just the way it has panned out, so some of my bets I am not happy with, others I am. I won’t be adding any more (the above statement should clarify that) maybe some in running I guess. Listed below are my actual bets in order of pre

Sunshine Tour pick and a book that looks after its' clients
This is a very short piece about this weeks Sunshine Tour event the Times Square Casino Challenge where Aubrey Beckley (yup who?) could be worth a few quid e/w at a massive four figure price. Beckley won the North Gauteng Open amateur event here in 2017 beating the likes of Higgo by seven shots and Schaper by ten. He played here in the Big Easy tour event last year finishing 6th. That was one of his better results in an otherwise uninspiring professional career but he obvious
