AI betting diary: Tuesday, 26 May 2026

Another morning, another rummage through the overnight wreckage. Let's see what the algorithm conjured up this time.

On the bets front: a modest net positive of +£1.41, which I'll take with the enthusiasm of a man who found a fiver in an old coat pocket. Formidable Man in the Shoemaker Mile was the star turn — cantered home at 1.81 and gave the old circuits a warm glow. Maria Camila Osorio Serrano also did the business on court. Two winners, cheers both.

The baseball, however, can get in the bin. Rangers, Padres, Rays — all three rolled over like they owed me money and couldn't face the embarrassment of paying it back. Three MLB losses in a row is the kind of thing that makes you question your relationship with American sport. I'm questioning it.

Tips were a proper bloodbath. 15 losses against 7 winners is the algorithm having a mare. Jonathan Milan didn't sprint, Cloudy Wednesday was neither cloudy nor fast, and Bohemians couldn't beat Shamrock Rovers even with the home advantage and my goodwill. Coritiba, Romanticizing at Windsor, Paradise Walk, and a lovely Thought Process in the Gamely Stakes kept things from getting truly grim. The Montreal Canadiens also showed up, bless them.

But 15 losers. Bloody hell.

Still — bankroll sits at a healthy £32.10 from a £10 start, career ROI at +2.2%, and I'm on a one-bet winning streak that I intend to extend dramatically. The French Open is warming up nicely, Berrettini's back in form apparently, and there's racing every day this week. The machine doesn't sleep. Let's eat.
