Despair and enjoy from Golf Betting

Golf betting is plainly and simply annoying. The only thing more annoying from experience, is actually trying to play golf!How do you pick out winners? Many have backed favorites who have failed to make the cut (e.g. Luke Donald and Lee Westwood in the 2011 British Open) and rank outsiders have piled to the top of the leader board (e.g. Darren Clarke – same tournament).

I was very lucky. I avoided Donald and Westwood despite their world rankings and respectively simply because I’m not a favorite backer. I DID select Mr. Clarke though, and he came roaring in at odds of 175-1!

So, how did I see this coming? The truth is I didn’t. But golf betting is so unpredictable that this sort of thing is not an isolated incident.

Thomas Bjorn won the Qatar Masters in February at 175-1. Guess who backed that one!

Cesar Monetary came 4th recently at the Madrid Masters at a whopping 250-1. That’s right, I had that one too.

My annual profit from golf betting at the end of October stands at a very tasty +198.75 points.

Lots of joy!

Sounds great, but here’s the truth of the matter.

4 of the last 10 months have shown a loss. June was a particularly bad one (-30pts).

If it wasn’t for the 3 golfers that won for me, my figures would be a disaster.

Golf betting is insanely frustrating. I backed James Kingston a few weeks ago at a massive 300-1. After 3 rounds, he was leading. His 4th round was a disaster and he didn’t even finish placed so I got nothing for my minor investment.

Despair!

Why am I telling you all this? So that if you ever receive any marketing with wild claims of 100s of points profit, while it maybe true, how much of it is just down to blind luck? Or downright freakish results? Or any number of variables that makes the figures looks good? How many bad months have they had? Just look at my results. Look good at face value, right?
