SotD Update, 14th to 26th October 2019

As you may have realised, I was away in Greece last week (one of the perks of running a travel agency, discounts available to GGZ readers!), so this is a fortnightly update on a joint effort between myself and Matt.

Sadly, my own personal run of wretched form continued and it appears that the current SotD malaise got to Matt too, as he was also unable to stem the flow of losses, meaning that we’re still to record a single winner for the month.

Matt had said one day last week that he wasn’t too concerned about short-term results and that the overall picture is still good and I’m in full agreement with that comment.

Whilst enjoying some downtime on the sunlounger last week, I looked back over Matt’s selections and also those I put up in the weeks before I went away and I’ve got to say that whilst there might be the odd one we wouldn’t have picked with the benefit of hindsight, we’re both happy with the work we’ve done this month and all the picks we’ve put up were backed by some strong stats.

I’m not glossing over this poor run, as it’s the worst we’ve encountered, but we both (Matt & I) firmly believe that those of you who stick by us will be duly rewarded in time. October has really dented 2019’s figures, but they’re still pretty healthy, as our overall numbers and based on those 2414 previous picks, I’m going to finish today’s piece with the following…

…if we’ve had 645 winners, generating an overall profit of 531.16pts, then those winners have actually realised a return of 2300.16pts when you factor in the 1,769 losing bets. This means the average winner has paid us out at odds of 3.566/1 and there are calculators out there that would suggest we can expect to have losing runs of 26-30 selections. The bottom line, I suppose is that as long as we can keep our long-term strike above 21.9% then we’ll still make money!

So, whilst it’s fair to say that barring some miracle, October is going to be a rare losing month (the 9 in the last 42!), I’m still (a) going to try my best to put some points on the board this week without sacrificing the trusted methodology and (b) confident of an overdue upturn in form that will enable 2019 to be as successful as history suggested it would be.
