Well there is a demonstration for you all as to why “less is more” when “investing in sport”!

My favourite two picks both won this week, and the comfortable manner of Watford’s victory was particularly pleasing for a 4/5 shout.

Sadly, profits for the week were almost all absorbed by the less fancied choices I followed for volume. In addition, I am disappointed with myself for stupidly having the Leeds and Cardiff wagers the wrong way around. This also cost me potential additional profits.

However, on a brighter note I thoroughly enjoyed my “Soccer Saturday day” down the local boozer.

Always great to catch up with old friends in the company of Sir Jeff Stelling.

It is important to recognise the difference between betting for entertainment and profit seeking.

For the latter, you should always keep your stakes nice and low and take enjoyment from your success over the bookmaker, not the monetary loss/gain.

For those still picking this up it is important to notice that the weighting of the todays bets was the difference between a profit and a loss.

Only three of my six picks won today, however I still managed to record a profit of around 0.5pts. Thats not bad for a disappointing day.
