Tez that's 5 winning bets , well done , 5 fold acc , about doubled your money ..you wont probably think so , but that's great , most would consider getting a 5 fold up good , its your call , but since you asked , time to bank some
|
|
By:
too late onto bet 6 lol
|
|
By:

its really your call , but since you asked , my thoughts are , you have earned about £100 already today , if you earned same again , that be £200 for the day , ...£200 a day aint a bad wage .....so just do the same again , start with £75 , try to earn another £100 .....if you fail ..you have lost nothing for the day , against letting it all ride , you could be at about £350 or nothing .......I guess maybe one more all in take your £75 back and keep £50 as token wage for day if it goes tits up
|
|
By:
betting all day and drawing even isn't much good either , better than losing , but , I would say if your earning every day , then that's good ....
|
|
By:
way I see it , instead of trying to reach the moon as soon as possible , set yourself daily targets , bank some , so you are in front for the day ..try to build pot at the same time , so you can stake bigger , so you can in time earn more
|
|
By:
so bank now stands at £164.39 so you'd say withdraw £89.39 and carry on with £75?
|
|
By:
Start stake : £50 Banked : £89.39
Bet 7. Bologna 2-0 Roma 65 mins - home win £75 @ 1.17 |
|
By:
either take your starting stake back , so you are betting for free ,
or maybe one more all in , then take stake back and say £50 profit , for the day |
|
By:
good call , now pressure is off , you cant lose today now ..just carry on being careful , set your self target to do same again
|
|
By:
yeah makes sense Gib ive been thinking more about the challenge than actually making any money tbh, but i think actually making money is alot more fun
who doesnt want money lol. im not bad at picking a few short priced favs out in a row so like you say it is possible to build a bank up but banking along the way is essential for the long term gain. |
|
By:
yeah pressure is off now. i have a start stake for another pop at it IF this bet should lose, and a bit of profit too. hopefully get another few more bets in a row and bank again

you are at the bottom of the mountain wanting to reach the castle at the top , seems like a million miles away , cant see or imagine how you might get there , but there is a path , lots of small steps , going all around the mountain , right to the top , don't think about how you are going to get to the top , just try to climb the first step , small steps are easy , before you know it , you have climbed a few steps ...and believe you can get to the top ..YOU CAN DO THIS
|
|
By:
YES LETS DO IT !!! Top of the mountain here we come
![]() cheers for the encouragement ![]() |
|
By:
are you having a go aswell Gib? lead the way to the top for me
![]() |
|
By:
i m always doing it , built a modest bank , not quite enough to give up the day job , but i work from home , so allows me to do it most days ....its slow progress , have losing days of course , but building slowly , thought is was fun on this thread as love the idea of starting with nothing and getting a lump some
|
|
By:
hardest think is not having a bet , if theres nothing really good there , easy with low stakes to bet on anything , discipline and patience isn't easy
|
|
By:
nice, great you have the time to have a dabble and build your bank up. Good work on building a modest bank aswell, its not always easy. yh this thread was supposed to be abit of fun, about turning a small stake into a nice sized amount if you can
|
|
By:
*lump sum
|
|
By:
totally agree my downfall is Discipline for sure. IF i could control that more then i might do ok
|
|
By:
another good reason for posting bets on forum , it in-stills discipline , helps me to be more sensible
|
|
By:
also what helps me is writing all bets down , i draw a continuous graph of bank , draw daily lines , and helps me concentrate to keep on top of things , reaching targets and helps me play safer if i m slipping
|
|
By:
seeing is believing
|
|
By:
no head in the sand , oh well its not too bad talk
|
|
By:
yeah i find posting bets on here helps abit aswell. makes me think more about what im betting on. And i bet if you are also writing things down it helps to see your progress (positive or negative) over time which can give you encouragement.
|
|
By:
i think why most people don't post what they are doing on here , is despite all being faceless strangers , no one likes looking bad , or silly ...my i think if everyone HAD to post their bets , their discipline would improve
|
|
By:
Start stake : £50 Banked : £90.00
Bet 8. Leverkusen 1-0 Mainz 72 mins - under 2.5 goals £86.52 @ 1.25 rounded my withdrawal amount up to make it easier to calculate next bet stake |
|
By:
for me its a bit like having your savings book from the building society when you were a kid , loved looking at the book seeing how the amount was getting bigger ..if you write it down and you are losing a lot , instead of not thinking about it ..its smacks you in the mouth ..so you do something about it , and if you are winning , it gives you encouragement to see it grow
|
|
By:
write it down , keep on top of things , treat it like a proper business , = will become a proper business ,
|
|
By:
i loved seeing the amount in the book grow, even tho you are only putting in small amounts in each week it soon adds up.
![]() |
|
By:
yep i agree , that's the secret , be happy with small amounts , small steps ..so long as you are going forward , you should get to the top
|
|
By:
yep small steps but aslong as the trend is up then its all good
|
|
By:
when i was younger i use to do a bit of trekking , you want to get to top of hill / mountain ...i ve climbed Kilimanjaro , you have to take small steps , if you go too fast , you get out of breath , on the last part its like stepping in slow motion ...but its the only way to get there
|
|
By:
cool i bet that was an experience. id love to give something like that a try. hopefully i will experience the last few steps of this journey to the top of this imaginary money mountain tho
