martingale would be proud of you alex

martingale isnt bad, that i do is bad, backing low odds

this is a bad tale alex - i hope you can win back

but remember to take nothing for granted in this game ,esp football ...it is easy to get caught out ,and it takes just one minute

as you say ,the so called 'mug money' isn't in circulation so much so you have to take on the sharks  to succeed

fobt ? pls translate

hello coachbuster how is ur gambling going? i dont see u on these forums these days.

Alex I truly believe the goal markets are a hard place to make money. The market makers (bots) always have the advantage in the long run hence the likelihood of beating them minimizes the more you play.

thx gl to u 2

Gonna sound like a major newb here but what can some briefly explain what these terms mean??????????

the usual bla blabla....Alexader...borrow money from your goverment...they have plenty

I am personally someone who never goes for odds lower than evens. I appreciate that there is value to be found at very low odds but I am of the opinion that there is far more to be found at much higher odds and it also means lower stakes and far less stress. I am not a full-time gambler but I am working towards it and have found most success in laying very low odds. Especially towards the end of football matches. The one thing for me is discipline. Reading your post above about your profits Alex I was very surprised to see the details of your recent 'chasing'. It's complete and utter madness what you did but it makes me realise that even you after years of large annual profits make ( excuse the phrase but..) 'amateur' mistakes like that and this is why gambling is very difficult to get right. To become a truly successful gambler I am starting to realise that you have to control your emotions and the addictive nature. Stay away from markets you know that you generally lose money to. Never chase..if you lose big, accept it and take a break for a couple of days. If you're low on confidence I find a good thing to do is to lower your stakes for a while until you feel that you're back in the groove. It's tough at times this game but overall I love it and hope to become very successful with it as I become more experienced. Alex I would suggest taking a little break before you get back on it. Often losing big is followed by losing even more because you're looking for the first market to come along rather than the right market. GL.

sorry to hear m8, so cruel.

it's good if you've changed what you were doing

Sorry to hear that

When I started this betting lark. I put £100 into my account and limited myself to £5 per bet, which would increase by another £5 for every £100 I profited. I got to about £350 and there was this period where I lost £200 in 2 weeks. I was so annoyed so I decided to do some chasing and lump on England v San Marino. I deposited another £100 and went all in with my £250 on over 4.5, 5.5 and over 6.5 goals. Of course, England decide to f*ck up and win 5-0, so I lost another £100 on that.

Not as much as compared to you but I don't exactly have a huge betting bank so it was quite hard hitting for me. It was stupid from me but it did teach me a lesson. Since then I've been very careful with my money and I don't chase anymore or lump on. So it's best to take your losses and move on to the next day, take a break for a few days and restart with smaller stakes.

Good luck man

You think that you are unlucky to lose £10 K after chasing your loses and lumping on an odds on shot.

Why not bet 2 K on an Even money shot or 1K on a 2/1 shot.

Your attempt to lay back at 1.05 shows that you massively overstaked and were crazy stupid.

I think you got what you deserved. Same as Andy Murray backers today !!

unlucky Alex

Keep your chin up i'm sure you'll bounce back , but do it gradually
