Season 2017-2018 Week 8 Results | 16W-15L-10P | -82€ Loss

This is a weekly overview of my personal handicapping and livebetting results on teams from the Belgian Jupiler League with some insights on my overall approach.

I talked last week how big upswings often tend to be followed by a drop back because a change in mindset. This did not happen and it pretty much turned out in a break even week. Being able to avoid losses is sometimes equally important to actually winning something. There was a lot of action with the mid-week Cup matches resulting in 41 bets. My average bet size is also increasing because I've been taking less minimum stake bets and more small or flat sized bets. My bankroll management has been on the very conservative side and I will be reviewing it this week and maybe move up in stakes a bit. I also plan to write a post about bankroll management in general.

There was one really intersting betting angle this week which produced an excellent bet in the Racing Genk vs Oostende match. Whenever there is a coach change for a team in the relegation zone, expect the new coach to thighten up the defense first! This is exactly what Custovic did with Oostende as they started with an extremely defensive approach while. Under 1 @ 2.29 1st Half bet was available live early in the game which ended up as a push with the 1-0 being scored on a free kick in minute 43'.
