Start Bank £1,000 Current bank £8,500 Hello again fellow punters, Ever had a 'Dear John' letter from a Bookie? I guess most of us won't have because I read that 95% of betfair accounts are in the red, so only 5% are winning and of those only between 1% and 2% are hugely profitable. I also read the other day that the 'hugely profitable' accounts are mainly due to 'Arbing' - backing multiple selections in a race, just thought I'd share that with you. I do this myself quite frequently now and a great free resource I use is at [b]www.arbcruncher.com[/b]. My Header today is [b]'Bookie Russian Roulette'[/b] and its a great way to avoid receiving a Dear John from them. All you need to do is open up ten accounts and then write them down on a sheet of paper with all the phone, log-in...

Start Bank £1,000 Current Bank £2407.98 Hello again friends and fellow punters. Well it's all happening isn't it - new whip rules, jockey discontent, £50,000 fines etc. Let's hope that common sense prevails and that a workable solution can be found, otherwise I might have to switch my attention to the Greyhounds! Let's hope the BHA adopt a more conciliatory approach than King Richard did after the peasants revolt when he declared "Villeins ye are and Villeins ye shall remain". My new method is working. I mean actually really working. It's now been three weeks since I chucked away the 'dartboard' approach and started to do things in this methodical way instead and so far it has worked [u]every day[/u] and shows a 100% success rate! Yesterdays winners were [b]ALJAMAAHEER[/b]...

Start Bank £1,000 Current Bank £4,492.64 Hello again, firstly - what about that [b]BLUE TIGER[/b] in the 2.15 yesterday? How can a horse which hasn't left the stalls and has its head stuck up in the air with the jockey off be considered a runner? Punters had [b]NO CHANCE[/b] with the horse. So well done to Paddy Power and Sky Bet for refunding all losing bets on that one and shame on all those who didn't! I was 'lucky' because I had selected the race as a 'Dutching' prospect so I still managed to collect on the winner [b]EASTERN DESTINY[/b] but I don't like to see things like that happen - it's hard enough for us to win aint it? Today I have backed [b]FIRST FAST NOW[/b] in the [b]2.15 at MUSSELBURGH[/b]. This horse really is in The Last Chance Saloon for me today after a ...

Start Bank £1,000 Current Bank £4.250.99 Hello again, well its been an up and down week for me this last week re' the Horseracing with several good days and then one disastrous day on Thursday when I lost all my gains and then some. Made a recovery yesterday though - thanks to [b]Zero Hype[/b]'s excellent advice re 'Dutching' - go check out his blog if you haven't already - plus had a couple of single horse wins with [b]REX IMPERATOR[/b] and [b]WEST BRIT[/b] so managed to get back to 'square one' for the week. Today I am a really happy bunny because of the Football. When I open my RacingPost I see opportunity everywhere and I am literally spoilt for choice. One of my favourite ways to make money from the football is to [b]LAY THE DRAW[/b] and then [b]BACK THE DRAW[/b] when ...

Start Bank £1,000 Current Bank £4276.91 Hello again, sorry for the gap in reporting - summer days are devilish busy for me and I don't like to tap away on the keys unless I've got something important to say really. First of all as to progress; I lost £724 on [b]Lay[/b] bets since my first doubling point and this took me back to £1,276. This was primarily due to massively increased Lay liabilities according to Kelly staking. However, using the same criterion for [b]Back[/b] bets progress has been spectacular in the other direction, hence my balance now being at £4276.91. You'll see why in a moment. Some of my gains were achieved using [b]Best Odds Guaranteed[/b] bookmakers and in my opinion these are an absolutely [u]essential[/u] weapon to have in your armoury. This is...

Start Bank £1,000 Current Bank £1,620 (+62%) Hello again, yesterday I made a small net loss on my horseracing bets but then I had a winning trade with my football bet, so I made a small net profit overall on the day. I have been asked to explain a bit more about my 'Lay the Draw and then back it when a goal is scored strategy' so I will; All you do is Lay the Draw in matches where there is a good probability of a goal being scored. Then as soon as a goal is scored you Back the Draw by dividing your lay bet liability [u]by one less than the new odds[/u] to arrive at your back the Draw stake. In last nights match for example, I Layed the Draw for £40 at odds of 3.55 giving me a Liability of £102. When Barcelona scored the Draw odds went out to 7.6 so I divided my liability ...

Start Bank £1,000 Current Bank £1,680.35 (+68%) Hello again, today is the beginning of my new week and also my weekly 'update' day. I had an excellent +£84.40 day yesterday. My record will show I had wins with [b]PEACHEY MOMENT[/b] (3/1) and [b]THEORETICALLY[/b] and [b]GOLDIKOVA[/b] and [b]SO YOU THINK[/b] and two successful Place bets with [b]TOGETHER[/b] at the Curragh and [b]SPECIAL PORTRAIT[/b] at Kelso. There was only one disappointment for me yesterday and that was [b]SANSILI[/b] in the 2.30 at FAKENHAM. This meant I sailed past my win target of £1620 to a new high of £1680, (+£137 for the week). This takes me to [b]Step 10[/b] of 142 on my mathematical journey and I feel I am starting to get somewhere now, especially as the growth accleration is kicking in. My 5%...

Start Bank £1,000 Current Bank £1,556.77 (+55%) Hello again, "Many a Mickle Maks a Muckle" - Mr Hudson said that in Upstairs Downstairs many years ago. God knows why I remember things like that, but I do and it has a lot of relevance to what I am trying to do. It means of course that lots of little things add up to a Big thing. I started this week at £1543.78 and progress has been slow with only £12.99 to show for my efforts so far. But I only need £77.18 in total to hit my 5% target, so another £64.19 to go. Today all I can find is four short-priced opportunities to collect. If successful they will yield £6, £16.75, £7, & £10.80 individually. But add them all together and it comes to £40.55 which is well over half my weekly target.So I am hoping that they all come...

Start Bank £1,000 Current Bank £1,543 (+54%) Hello again and thanks for your visit today. My Header today is 'Smashing Through Barriers!' and I am very pleased to report that my bank has just smashed through the 50% barrier. Hooray! I have now passed Step 8 of my 142 Step plan on my mathematical journey to £1Million. This represents 5.63% of my journey completed. This week my 5% Win Target is £77 which will see me finish the week at £1,620 (+62%), which is further growth of 8% in just one week. Growth like this makes the Halifax AER of 2% look a bit sick don't you think? So why don't more people make money from Sports Betting instead of sticking it in a Building Society? Well because in order to succeed you need to have a sound financial management system and to see the world...
