When my Dad took the sporting Life Newspaper when I was a boy all I can remember about it was the pages of Racing and Greyhounds. I dont remember seeing football coverage at all so when the racing post took over and the Sporting Life became a multi sport on-line website the powers that be must have gone down the local bookies and recruited the first punter they saw for their football tipster as the results for 2020 in their recommended football section are dismal!! It is plain as day which end of the office the golfers are propping up. 58.31 point loss on the year makes for a very good time for the bookies. In the months that there was a profit the average was 10.86 points this being bolstered by a November Profit of 34.40 points (Perhaps the footy guys were on holiday and the golfers stepped into the breach) Which ever way you look at this the prospect is gloomy and more could be gained by actually laying these bets at the exchanges.
Anyway as usual I will list their figures below but be warned it is not happy reading.
Jan 6.24 points profit
Feb 5.43 points profit
Mar 5.35 points profit
Apr No Bets
May 7.00 points profit ( Just BundesLiga bets)
Jun 27.79 points Loss
Jul 12.94 points loss
Aug 6.75 point profit
Sep 5.03 point Loss
Oct 49.70 point Loss
Nov 34.40 point profit
Dec 28.02 point Loss
I did think that when I was compiling these figures that the guys had made their recommendations, not taking into consideration the fact that crowd factor makes a difference but it was a steady decline after May.
I did think that these tips might be worth the fun factor but after seeing Junes results I did think BetOrNot!!!
