New Season Nerves

Five selections from Football Service A this weekend, the first of the 2017/18 season.  It’s good to be back betting on the footie.  May was the last time I struck a football bet.  Seems a long time ago!

On Thursday, in the first email of the new season sent out to members, the brains of the service admitted to being nervous as the first weekend of action approached.  It’s something I’ve heard him confess before the start of previous seasons too, and it’s good to know that after all the years he’s been running his service he still gets butterflies before the off.  There’s something comforting about the fact that a successful tipster is as keyed up and eager as I imagine most of those who follow his systems are.

I don’t know what it is that causes the nerves.  We’d have to ask him directly to find that out although I’d not be confident of getting any sort of revealing answer as it was stated in his email that he doesn’t really know himself.  I guess it’s like a top opening batsman getting nervous before he goes out to bat, or a world renowned footballer feeling tense prior to a big match.  Hopefully, just as the batsman’s nerves ease with his first run and the footballer’s after a good first touch, Stewboss will settle into the rhythm and routine of the season over the next few weeks as the games come thick and fast.

On a practical front it’s going to be interesting to see if the odds on some selections drop a little more quickly than we’re used to as the 7.00 bet release time on the Thursday is now being shared with the Football Messiah service.  Any doubling up of selections will of course mean more money going on to the same team so I’d anticipate some effect.  Let’s hope that not too many selections coincide.

Let’s also hope for a good season.

One more week of September’s betting to go.  Results soon…
