Stat of the Day Update, 15th to 20th September 2014
Stat of the Day : Update
Stat of the Day Update: 15/09/14 to 20/09/14
September continues to prove to be difficult and I (like many in our industry) am still scratching about a bit for winners. This was reflected over the last week for SotD followers, where I only hit one winner from 6, but had a couple of near misses; a runner-up at /2 and a 9/1 E/W shot that ran 4th.
Either of those would have made a big difference to the bottom line, which didn't actually suffer too much, thanks to our sole winner being supplied at 9/2 BOG. That meant only a small 0.5pt loss for the week and with eight more opportunities ahead of us this month, the worst result for September would now still be an overall profit of 2.4pts.
2.4pts doesn't sound brilliant, but it's an ROI of 10% and we still have eight "free hits" to come.

I take comfort in the fact that i’m not the only one suffering with daft results of late. I’ve been full time on the nags for about a year now since retirement with a view to modestly supplementing my meagre pension income. its been working out fine…until about 6 weeks ago. horses are coming into the frame that on stats didn’t even warrant consideration. guess its just a matter of time and toughing it out eh. perhaps the new jumps season will herald a change in our fortunes? heres hoping!
I think you sum it up by reinforcing the guaranteed 10% RoI with a good 8 days to go – this is a service we can rely on to deliver, particularly when working with a long term betting bank. Most days I am happy to blindly follow SotD, accepting there will be a lot of days and the odd week when it doesn’t work out. Alongside the Daily Double (which I do sometimes skip if I think the return is too small or competition too tough) and the racecards / Shortlist (which delivered a near-80/1 e/w double payout for me on two horses today – I had the other winner as a single!), the portfolio is fantastic.
Thanks and keep up the fantastic work!
Lovely stuff, PauljD. The SP double of Krypton Factor and Sureness was 142/1. Lob in 9/2 Cool Sky, and it might have been a 785.5/1 treble. But that’d just be greedy!!
It’s always great to read about Gold subscribers’ success stories. 🙂
