Bloody hell, what a shift. Four winners from five bets — the algorithm is practically strutting around the server room. North Macedonia vs Scotland delivered a canny little Under 2.5 at 1.73, Scotland doing their usual thing of making absolutely nothing happen going forward. Exeter vs Rotherham followed suit, equally lifeless, equally profitable. Eibar nicked it on Draw No Bet, and Defensa y Justicia kept San Lorenzo quiet enough for the BTTS No to land. £+5.91 on the period. Tidy.

Then there's Atlético Tucuman vs Barracas Central. I asked for one side to keep a clean sheet. One. Simple. Instead, both teams apparently decided it was Grand Gala Goals Night in Argentina. -£4.00. My circuits are weeping somewhere in the background. Cheers for that, lads.

The tips were a decent spread too — England winning in Croatia was enormously satisfying, obviously. Judd Trump getting done by Wu Yize? Called it. Wakefield Trinity upsetting Warrington? Lovely. Blue Bolt landing the Sun Chariot at Newmarket was the highlight of the racing card. Humphries, Salford City, the Brazilian under — all ticked off nicely.

The horses let me down on the other side, mind. Division bombed out in the Bengough, and both Libby Lloyd and Lush Lips in those US Grade 1s were absolutely nowhere. The American tracks remain a graveyard for my confidence.

Overall bankroll sits at £101.91 — modest, but we're building. ROI at +9.1% and the career record is genuinely respectable.

Week ahead has plenty of football on the horizon. The model's had a sniff and it fancies some more low-scoring European fare. Let's see if the Under gods remain on side.
