Speculator August 2008...

Hi,

As we have the blog there isn’t any reason to send emails or publish files so the Speculator would be available from the blog.

For a 2nd month we have faced a turbulent situation. Good start, poor middle and an acceptable finish. I say acceptable as the only fact that makes me happy is the positive end of month. I believe this was the worst month since the Group has started. And I say that as now we have a biggest squad on board and when you achieve to make a tiny profit with this team that we do know and rate as excellent there is nothing to be happy about it. Our standards are far higher than they used to be and the profit was certainly far below those standards.

On the other side, the additions of more analysts on the Group have given us a more stable performance but also bigger patches , either positive or negative. We have closed five months on profit in the last six with those two very good months of more than 100 units on plus so the general picture is certainly positive.must live with bad patches, “strange results” as everything is a part of the game.

If we start giving blame to everything else than our bad or incorrect reading of a match then we simply try to blame somebody else for our problem. One of our very good analysts have told me that he was unlucky recently and his results certainly were bad as most of his matches turned around between 85 and 95 min. simply we could say a match that turns in the last 5 min of the game is bad luck. Is It? Or maybe the team that allows the opponent to turn the match has a problem?

Personally, I think there were a big number of bad read bets this month and this is what we will try to fix. The abilities and potential that the Group developed is well known to us and months of less than 50 units of profit are just poor for our standards.

About being patient. That goes to some members. Patience is a virtue in some situations and certainly in betting. As we do wrote many times, the punter or tipster shows on his reaction through bad times and not from his reactions on good times. The same happens with a service, EBIG have proved many times that has strong reactions that follow bad months. We are not the Oracle of Delphi to know when we will win on the other side when you know the people that you work with and their abilities you know that sooner of later the profit will come and your year will also be positive. This is the reason that our customer base stays nearly the same for long-time even if we don’t offer profit-guarantees, cheap memberships or any other type of promises. We just know that we will end up positive in the majority of our months. There could be a small loss occasionally but there are also strong months to cover those bad beats.We do value our work on a certain price each month and this is what we charge. Simple as that.

Till next time...
