    Monthly review - August 2010

    It looked for all the world as though I was set for a really good month this month, but that's not quite how it turned out. A profitable month, and quite a nice sum too, but not as much as it could have been and not as much as I had hoped this month would generate.

    August is the start of the football season and this year I have fired up more football systems than I have ever had before in my portfolio, including several of my own making. And they have got off to a good start - up just over 70pts so far this month. Not too bad that. I have extended my Simplex betting into Serie A too, so I now have three Simplex systems running (Premiership, SPL and Serie A) and they have made a steady start to the season. They come into their own in December/January though so I don't mind a steady start on that front.

    The profits from these football systems haven't made up for the poor performance of my own Classic Lays and Premier Lays though, the former more so than the latter. I honestly don't know what's gone wrong here. Anything like a normal month for them and I would have been celebrating a really good month, but as it was the end result is far from desired. I have been over all the rules and simply cannot explain why this month has been several times as bad as my previous worst month. Maybe these things just happen from time to time. The SR is well down, the average odds are normal, so at least I know the SR is probably the only reason for the loss but I can't explain why the SR has dipped so low or so fast.

    Last month I placed a few systems on the watch list - what's happening with them? Michael Stoute made a couple of points profit so gets another month's grace. CD Lays had a decent month making up over 22pts but is still behind for the year so remains on the watch list too. PP Free is dropped while Trainer 3 stays - just - as it made a slight profit (0.08pts). Max Lays stays on the list too as it made a 6.34pts profit this month but more is needed before it is restored to full status.

    Another system that I am dropping is SixPlus Loser - it's just not working for me so rather than watch list it I have decided to junk it.

    The breakdown of my portfolio for August is:

    Good (profitable)
    W2W (9 systems, +55.02pts)
    Johnston Tracks +7.69pts
    Michael Stoute +2.04pts
    CD Lays +22.56pts

    Info Rated +0.04pts
    Trainer 3 +0.08pts
    Ladies Lays +3.52pts
    Max Lays +6.34pts

    Non-W2W (17 systems, +174.09pts)
    NailedOn Aw +16.95pts
    A List - Win +4.79pts
    A List - Place +5.42pts
    Progeny +21.57pts
    HSR +3.48pts
    Easy Money Lays +27.59pts
    Premier Lays +1.85pts
    FBD +0.36pts
    Football Elite +2.60pts
    Prem Simplex +0.54pts
    Serie A Simplex +12.30pts

    Trades +0.18pts

    Bad (unprofitable)

    Claiming Jockey -2.00pts

    NH Media -1.57
    NHPM -4.19pts

    Non-W2W (12 systems, -92.83pts)
    PP Free -2.40pts
    Classic Lays (-27.35pts)
    NailedOn Lays -3.89pts
    FE Shortlist -2.25pts
    SPL Simplex -25.36pts
    Under Form Portfolio -0.23pts
    Rateform Portfolio -2.60pts
    Game Form Portfolio -3.00pts
    Bet Bank Alerts -4.84pts
    The Insider -2.00pts
    No Limit Hold'em Tourneys -17.92pts
    Sports Profit Accelerator -1.00pts (I know I dropped this last month but it had one outstanding bet that settled this month)

    NB. Systems and services are listed here simply to provide a full monthly record of my betting activities and their mention should not be construed as a recommendation of said system/service. The results given are mine and mine alone and do not form part of the official results for any service.

    A 26:18 split this month so things are moving in the right direction, steadily. I still need to work on increasing that bottom line though. This still isn't paying off as well as I would have hoped...

    Its good of you to publish all your results mathare, its a nice view to see whats happening in someone elses bets.

    My August was around 25 pts in profit overall- not great, and even that's not as good as it might sound, I have taken a real bashing the last few months and even if things start moving in the right direction it will take a while to get back up there again, but I still think I can do it!
