January 2026 Performance Review

January delivers steady results

January 2026 was a solid month for our trading portfolio, with total profits of +12.41 points across all systems to BSP. This represents a steady start to the year.

System 2 was the standout performer, contributing +12.79 points alone.

See below a detailed breakdwon of each systems monthly results to BSP.

System-by-system breakdown

System 1 (max odds of 20.0)

P/L
-13.04
Bets
142
Strike Rate
68.31%
ROI
-9.18%

1 poor lay pushed system 1 into the red this month. Bradman running on 11/01/26 at Fontwell won at BSP of 19.8 (right at the top of our suggested max odds).

System 2 (max odds of 10.0)

P/L
+12.79

Solid performance.

System 3 (max odds of 20.0)

P/L
+2.64
Bets
161
Strike Rate
68.32%
ROI
1.64%

Nothing to shout home about. SR down on expected. One to keep an eye on with the higher odds moving into February. Expect swings throughout the year.

System 4 (max odds of 5.0)

P/L
+10.02
Bets
106
Strike Rate
68.87%
ROI
9.45%

Great month for system 4. SR much higher than expected at these odds. Expect next month to pull back slightly to the norm of just over 50%.

Key takeaways

This month reinforces several important principles:

  • Trust the systems during good runs: When systems are performing well, it's tempting to increase stakes or deviate from the plan. We stuck to level staking throughout.

  • Variance works both ways: Over time, results regress to the mean.

  • Don't get overconfident: Strong months are enjoyable, but they don't change our long-term expectations or risk management approach.

Looking Ahead to February

February 2025 performed exceptionally well with 104.87 points profit across the portfolio. Whilst this could lead to high expectations, it's essential you stick to the plan and remain disciplined. Sports trading is never guaranteed and February 2026 could be the opposite of 2025. Stick to the plan and remain patient, disciplined and consistent.

Portfolio Performance

Year-to-date, for 2026 our portfolio now stands at +12.41 points across all systems.

Final Thoughts

A steady start to the year banking over 10 points to BSP. The statistical edges we've identified don't produce linear returns – some months will be below average, some above. The key is maintaining discipline and trusting the process.
