Firstly, Happy New Year !

The website is now a year old and those 12 months have absolutely sped past, although GOWI itself is actually closing in on eight years of age and must be one of the longer standing sports betting blogs around.

John and I have just finished updating the results page of the website with the figures for December. As I told you a week or so ago, we were coming off a couple of bad weeks, so you will see a bit of a dip towards the end of the graph. That was always likely to happen after such a strong late Summer/ Autumn performance, but you will notice a little upturn at the very end and I am pleased that we have steadied the ship and got back on track before the end of the year.

We also started the New Year on the front foot with a nice profit yesterday and with my beloved Brentford carrying all before them in League 1, life is sweet at present !

Results are not really "my thing" as most of you know by know, but the 2013 ended with a ROI of +15.26 % from 1,317 red type selections.

To put those numbers into context, if you had missed all top quotes, bet all 1.300 selections under the odds (impossible to do by the way) and made "only" 10% profit, you would have still pocketed over 10,200 euros profit to a 60 euro unit stake.

The free to view content again made very good returns, which you can also see on the results page, but only 8% of clubgowi output was available for free, the other 92% was solely for subscribers. They pay not only to get all the previews, but to have it delivered to their inbox at prearranged times and I am a pretty punctual guy !

I am biased, but the daily newsletter ( actually, it is usually ten issues per week, but I do not know what to call it beyond "daily") is a premium product and has changed out of all recognition, during these last 12 months and I hope and expect to be writing something similar at this time next year. It is packed full of information (sample) and even a losing preview will often give you some snippet you can use in the future.

I expect to have 1300-1400 selections in 2014 and would be happy with +10%, although history suggests we should do better and remember, 90%+ of our selections are for high liquidity, asian handicap markets.

The service is incredibly cheap at circa 2.7 euros per day, but the best recommendation I can give, is to tell you that 36% of subscribers are signed up for at least 12 months.

I have quite a bit to pass on and share over the next couple of days, so please check back regularly.

Good luck for 2014.
