January 2018 Best Bets Results
The 'Cock suffered a small loss on turnover for the month of January, but after three positive months leading up to it with a 62 unit return and 26% profit on turnover, it simply meant that results reverted back closer to the long term expected mean. Professional punting is a long game & losing months are inevitable, so the key is keeping emotions out and sticking to the strategy.
