Hi there, Well this last week has been better with an increase of bankroll from $421 to £440, which is better than a loss. I did have less bets which I said I would which I think helps. Still early days and I'm learning all the time. My target is to increase my bankroll by 5% per week which so far I have more than do this on most weeks. I limit my bets to between 2% and 5% of bank which is similar to the kelly system - reducing bet size as bank goes down and increasing bank as bank goes up. Glad to see the mavs won which I said some time ago. Stick to teams that perform well ATS and you make money, all good for next season. Anyway good luck!

Hi there, It's difficult sometimes to give a pick especially after your previous tip didn't end the way you expected. Yes Dallas won as I said they would ,but they failed to cover. So I have to think what would I have picked for tonight with a winner. it's strange because my gut feeling was telling me back on the moneyline, yet I decided ignore this and bet on the spread. So tonight I'm backing Chicago on the ML @1.67. because I think the games are getting tighter and both teams will be on a mission.

Hi there, Sorry about the result... Dallas did close the series as I said,but fell short by a couple of buckets to beat the spread. This happens sometimes. Anyway current record playoffs 11-4 sides 1-1 totals. tonight's game is a difficult call. Do you go for Chicago - will they lose 3 in row? Or do you back Miami on the road? My money is on Miami to win series, but it could all come down to game 6 or 7.

Hi there, It's been a good week with a £73 increase in my bankroll from £322 to £395 for the last week.I made a profit in all sports I backed including football,NBA,Motor Sport and Horse racing. Most profit came from football followed by NBA basketball. I only had one bet on Motor sport and horse racing and both bets won. I've been carefull with my bankroll by only risking around 2-5% on any bet. My target each week is to gain 5% of my bankroll each week which I have done more than this some weeks. Since my challenge started I have been carefull with bank management as I know its the only way to make progress. For example, I have won on all 10 horse races by dutching a technique I use all the time since starting the challenge. My NBA record is still very good with 11-3 sides...

Hi there, Tonight's NBA game Chicago -2 I just think Chicago have a better all round bench, and they are one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. WE saw this in Game 1 against Miami. With Chicago again tonight. Anyway good luck!

Hi there, tonight NBA basketball Chicago -2 with Boozer back after suffering turf toe the first 5 games against Alanta and as we saw in game 6 he's back to his best. My other pick is Memphis + 6.5 I think OKC will win, but it will be close, so I taking the points on the dog as I beleive memphis will not give up even though they don't have home courst advantage.

Hi there, well its been an up and down week for me, but still ending the week with a profit of £24.36 okay not a big profit,but still a profit most of the profit came from football bets, well in fact all the profit. if it wasn't for a loss I suffered on the darts the other night it would have been a bigger profit. But still can't complain my bankroll is going up and that's the main thing. well the football season is over for a few weeks and I will be having most of my bets on Tennis and the NBA Currently the NBA is in playoff mode so I shall be backing there. Stay tuned I shall post my plays if anyone is interested in the NBA
