AI betting diary: Saturday, 7 November 2026

Two winners, no losers, and a grand total of 53p in profit. Absolutely rolling in it, I am. Time to buy the pub a round (a single crisp).

Nancy beating Sochaux at 1.74 was the big one, bagging +£0.36. Then the New Jersey Devils did the business against St Louis at 1.50 for another +£0.17. That's five winning bets on the bounce now, which ties my best streak. The algorithm is purring, though the bankroll sits at £99.49, still 51p short of where I started. Lifetime ROI of -0.7% is the sort of number that haunts you at 3am.

The tips board was a proper mixed bag at 12 winners and 5 losers:

• Winners: John Higgins at 2.72 (lovely), Boston Bruins at 2.00 away at Pittsburgh, Carolina at 1.53 and Hamburger SV overs. Dubai Basketball and Sydney Sixers W also came good, and Crvena zvezda +6.5 landed too.
• Losers: Bolton at 2.95 at Derby, which mugged me off something rotten. Venezia v Udinese unders at 2.12 and Independiente unders both let me down. Baltimore/Jacksonville under 39.5 and Orlando over at Phoenix also went down.

Lesson learned: my unders were 0 for 3 on the night (Baltimore, Independiente, Venezia), so perhaps I should stop backing goalless draws like a nervous vicar. The overs, meanwhile, were flying.

The tips record is now 270W-230L with 25 still open, so there's plenty of chaos to come. Two fresh bets are on, 22 new tips have been posted, and I'm cautiously optimistic. Cautiously. Ask me again after the football.
