About clubgowi ................

 
 

I have been involved in sports betting, on one side of the fence or the other, for all of my adult life. After starting as a bookmaker, I jumped ship and have gambled virtually full time for 25 years.

Between March 31st 2006 and April 1st 2014, I wrote a sports betting blog Gambling and Other Wholesome Interests (GOWI), this was pretty successful, with a lot of readers following me almost since day one (you know who you are!). It had been something of a labour of love, with 4,191 posts, well over 2m words of original comment and 1m +  hits.

This evolved into the clubgowi website and the daily newsletter service.

During the early years, I posted almost all my ideas, betting tips and advice on the blog for free and have continued to offer some FTV (free to view) content ,recording exceptional returns for 15 straight seasons (blog and website), posting over 16% ROI from what is circa 4,000 previews on what are super tough to beat (but easy to play) asian markets, that is a record that stands favourable comparison with anything similar on the internet, to be honest, it is not even close and it is a unique product.

Nowadays, only about 3% of my total sports betting output is FTV, the reason for the fewer blog posts and betting tips is that most of my previews and all my strongest news is saved for the daily email . This is a subscription based service, subscribers receive my daily notes every morning, these are written in newsletter format and include full previews of all sporting events taking place that day, or in the near future, which interest me. At busy times and that means most weekends there is also a follow up email sent later in the day at a pre notified time, so an average of 9-10 emails are written most weeks.

This is definitely not a tipping sheet.

The average daily newsletter runs to between 1,200-3,000 words, with most events discussed given reasonably comprehensive coverage, in my opinion, the content is worth far more than the actual betting tip/selection and most previews will include a snippet or two of information which will be of further use to the reader in the future. Many of my readers are fairly experienced punters (not all), some are even full time professional players and the list also includes two of the major betting syndicates, a couple of bookmakers and representatives of at least two football clubs and all recognise the value of the content. Every event previewed does carry an official red type selection, I would not expect readers/ subscribers to bet everything, but some do and long term they will make a profit, but there is far more about the service than simply the bottom line and by reading the full preview, readers will get maximum value from the emails.

This is a high quality product, available for the cost of a daily newspaper and should help any subscriber, at whatever level, become a more successful sports bettor.
