This weekend illustrates why backing short priced favourites never works long term, weeks of tiny profits wiped out for many banks after Lpool and city on the same weekend fail to win against crap teams which looked bankers pre kick off

same thing applies with greening, if the bet wins you're throwing profits away so same principle

teams throw cauction

I don't agree Gibmark, 50 winning bets - 50 losing.. if you green up in all the winning bets you are throwing away profit in 50 bets, some of the losing bets you can't green up in so a winning bet = 80% or whatever it is and a loss is often 100% of loss stake. If you are greening up I hope it isnt via the yellow button on here as it chucks profit down the pan compared to manually doing it

Wolf you have never cash out then

sorry 20.19  profit from 11 bets

That said there are probably occasions where limiting your liability is advisable which I prefer putting the weight of profit on one option contrary to cashing out. The fact the cash out option doesn't give the same result as the manual one is my biggest gripe behind the premium charge when I queried the implied commission madness meaning it comes to over 20% commission when hitting it for the first time

It depends whether the current odds pre cash out are disproportional to the probability of the event which in most instances it isn't. I don't believe someone blindly backing team x to beat team Y and then cashing out every bet will generate profit long term

exactly , sometimes its worth it sometimes it isnt , but if its late in a game , and only winning by one goal and you only lose potential very small winnngs ,there are cases where its better to green , too many last goals ruin bets .......its a risk assessetment , whch is guesswork of course ......judgement call

well i nearly managed to keep my patience with level £2 stakes for 50 bets, but not quite ,oh well, aberdeen played well today, and an exciting comeback win, COYR, good luck all
