I’m back after a day off. What did I do on my day off? Are you really interested? Probably not, but I’ll tell you anyway.

Took the missus to the cinema to watch Sisu, some Finnish dude that kills Nazi’s in a gory fashion. Good light hearted fun, if you don’t mind the odd flying limb or head exploding.

Then we wandered around town looking for somewhere to eat. I’m a very fussy eater cos my skin is an absolute dickhead and starts getting angry if I put shit into my body.

Finding somewhere that is vegan and gluten free isn’t easy. Although it’s become easier in recent years. Sorry. I’ll start talking about gambling now.

I’ve had a few shit days. -9pts across the last 4 or 5 days! Sometimes when we get on a winning streak we can become greedy. Don’t.

This is a schoolboy error as the next losing run could be hiding around the corner. Be prepared for it. Don’t start increasing your stakes just because you’ve landed a few winners.

When you do have bad days like I have, just ask the question, what is my ROI? In my case it’s 14.6%. So basically that disappointment from the odd loser is quickly removed as I’m reminded I’m blowing the brains out of the bookies right now.

It all comes down to that. What is your ROI? What is a good ROI? I would say anything north of 5% and you’re doing well as a gambler. Granted that’s much lower than my current returns but I doubt mine will last that high for long.

Also factor in that if your ROI is above 10%, there is every chance it’s going to drop. Most tipsters will work towards that target, but ultimately you’re unlikely to match their stats due to poor odds availability.

When the losers returns and your profit drops, just take a quick look at your ROI. It’s a 5% of higher, smile, you’re doing great.
