After seeing plenty of threads popping up along the lines of "£50 to riches" I started a little side project a few days ago with a £50 start bank to see how far and how successful it can be over a month period, just to start anyway, I believe it's sustainable.

90% of bets are in-play but carefully thought about, a couple are "all in" but the majority are only around 20% to 50% of bank (so it's not an "all in every time - £50 to £50k" attempt)

I'm looking for a sustainable but fairly profitable way for new comers or strugglers with low banks to actually grow them sensibly and also just want 1 place to keep a nice record and history of my results from the £50 start bank.

I will start posting my bets as I make them soon but for now will just post my daily results from the P/L history pages.

I did try to make it as a blog but you cannot add replies to a blog just a new blog topic each time (maybe i haven't looked correctly) so I'm doing it this way instead,
It's more kind of my own personal journal for now, I don't mind if people doing something similar adding replies etc but keep it nice, simple and short without spamming too much Tongue Out

I'm up to Day 9 so far...

Sorry mate just a quick thought.  Your bets don't show what you bet on or why you chose it.  This says bank builder so what is the idea here?  Are you going for safe bets with low odds, only choosing bets in winning positions etc..just interested.

Do you post your bets for people to follow or is this just for you to see how far you can get?
By:
dimebar8
When: 03 Mar 12 23:45
bit of both... there are bets up there but was kinda busy because i'm doing my own bets too.

From tomorrow, every bet for this thread i'll post when placing them but majority are done in-play so if anyone is looking to follow they'll have to have the thread open i guess lol it's also just to show a different style and way to build up a bank without having to "gamble" so much.

low banks to actually grow them sensibly

the majority are only around 20% to 50% of bank

'only'!

yes but they are sensible bets... not coinflip gambles

When: 03 Mar 12 23:48
I agree with dimebar on this, very similar to the betting style I switch to.  Usually bets are on teams who should win comfortably and are already leading/high unders/low overs and smash and grabs on tennis set winner/match odds or basketball big leads/guaranteed points totals.  Grows very quickly.
By:
dimebar8
When: 03 Mar 12 23:48
tobermory, I really didn't want any muppet posts in here, keep coming back if you must and IF it fails then have your say ok? 9 days £50 start with £172.89 profit is something alot would be happy with.

I'll add this thread to my favourites and follow, the problem i'm having is that i'll have lots of small wins but any losses hits my bank quite hard as i'm working of a small balance
By:
tobermory
When: 03 Mar 12 23:50
Yes if you are betting 20-50% then while you are winning the bank will grow very quickly.

It will disappear very quickly with a few losers though.
By:
loadedgimp
When: 03 Mar 12 23:52
Tobermory opinion duly noted, if you fancy starting your own thread and showing us all how to do it please feel free.  It is about picking winners mostly, and then cutting losses.  Ked you need to make sure you pick a bet due to it being solid and not just to be winning something.

after i had done loads of practising with small (£5 and less) stakes, i deposited £50 and worked that up into a bigger bank.  my theory was that if i didn't have the ability or patience to work up from £50 then i can't make it with a big bank.  everyone should do that.  would save those who come on here with 100s or 1000s and then promptly lose the lot.
By:

When: 03 Mar 12 23:54
Tobermory, it's a mixture of bets... some are pre-match low stakes, some are high stake low odds and some are inbetween... it's all about selection and knowing the teams etc... but seriously can you just leave, keep coming back to check if you must and like i said if it fails then come and say "i told you so" but until then hush Excited

People can't seriously expect that if they start a thread on a public forum saying 'this is how it is done' that they are only going to get praise.

There has just never been one without critics .I've started threads posting all my bets or 'systems' i have attempted in the past and there have been plenty of critics.

Posters on here eg Dennis Wise have had a lot of criticism but he has answered them, kept on, and been succesful.

OK i won't post further on this but you will still have to deal with others unless you are going to have a private messaging group somehow  . Good to see you'll be posting the bets as they are made soon .I realize it is tricky in play but if you don't then people will just say you are keeping quiet about the losers.

i don't mind the critics etc and i haven't said "this is how it's done" but it worked for me when i started out and i still use this style alot on a bigger scale amongst a mixture of other bets i do.

i just don't want this thread to turn into a huge debate, it is what it is... i just want to post bets and results really. you can't even see the last days results anymore without having to scroll up which i precisely what i didn't want in this thread.

I'm following the thread as we can all learn something. I'd just advise that anyone starting out with a small bank should stay away from the 20% and 10% bets as they are the road to ruin unless you're experienced.

Juventus, Sporting and Bordeaux all looked good last night and all failed to win and could have led to a half bank loss. A smaller bet won't grow your bank as fast but you'll have a more secure bank as you build it.

Keep it up dimebar.
