It is now over 18 years since Gambling and Other Wholesome Interests (GOWI) started (March 2006), first as the blog of that name, before evolving into the website and the thousands of previews posted as free to view content over that time are ALL still available to read and stand testament to the quality of the work produced every single day in the newsletter. Results for those 18 seasons are below and are simply outstanding !

The notes below were sent to subscribers in August 2017 , they explain  what we are trying to provide, who reads the newsletter,  why there are no longer daily newsletter results on the website (so please do not ask for any), but why free to view numbers will still be updated...............................

 

I spoke the other day about the different make up nowadays of my subscriber list ..............

"My subscribers currently include three syndicates ( two of the larger ones), three bookmakers, one exchange, two brokers and two football clubs, they are the ones I know about, there may be more of each and it feels increasingly like it is those I am "working for", which is not what I set out to do, but it is, what it is."
 

I am pretty sure that there are more of those and it is flattering in a way, they should really pay more than standard subscribers, but are not always possible to identify, hard to restrict and to be honest, I feel more kindly towards those who have been open about who they are.
 

My day is filled by betting and writing the notes, the latter helping my personal gambling. There are minimum numbers required to make the newsletter viable and writing it does reduce variance a little, but I could also spend more time in bed on occasion without the commitment and sometimes that is tempting, but the discipline is good for me and we are significantly beyond those low end numbers and I don't overly care if they are right on the minimum, or 20-30-50 beyond it, in all honesty, it matters relatively little.
 

I like most of my subscribers, some I know pretty well, others I only speak to once per year when it comes time to renew, possibly, that is why I like them !
 

Most of the current subscribers "get" what the service is all about and that makes for a much happier life all around. I do understand that some of you will drop out over time, but the core have been around for several years , some much longer and I believe that I have always repaid that loyalty in terms of cost for long term subscribers and even when results go against us, I still think that the notes make good reading and offer much, giving excellent value for money.
 

Results this summer have been pretty decent and the three summer leagues have served us well, so I will say that and then add that I have close to no interest in short term results ! I care about my betting profits and you should worry about yours of course, but I know that all my leagues and sports make good returns long term (although we might have differing opinions about what constitutes long term), almost all previews offer well thought out analysis and a different approach to what you will read in most (ALL) other places, if you can use them in some way, fine, if not, I understand and the newsletter is not for everyone. Having said that, it terms of sheer volume and number of events covered,it is pretty unique and profits across all GOWI/clubgowi products and offerings since early 2006 have been huge and that is a bonus and not even the real value of the notes IMO, which is between the match/event heading and the red type.
 

Anyway, while results are ok, I want to tell you that I have no desire to continue to update them for the newsletter service on a daily/weekly/monthly or even yearly basis and will not be doing so. I find it boring, time consuming and pointless and I have around 3,500 full match/event previews on the blog and website and if they are not enough for any prospective customer, then they are not the type who I want as a subscriber. Existing subscribers see the notes daily, so have no need of results .Outsiders will say the reasons are different, but you know the truth. From now on, I really only want to do what suits me and in turn, I think that helps everyone.
 

I will continue to update the free to view results occasionally for two reasons, firstly, because we have done so for 12 seasons and secondly, as they relate directly to what is on the clubgowi website and the old Gambling and Other Wholesome Interests blog and are therefore, verifiable.
 

Nothing has happened, no one has said or done anything recently, or, if they have, I know nothing about it which equates to the same thing, things have been going well actually and as I have already said, numbers are more than adequate and I only want readers who like the overall product.

Good Luck.
