A £71.50 profit after last weeks loss at least stops the downward trend.  Last week was unusual in the number of selections I backed but should be back to normal now.

Opening bank =  £2000
Current value = £2191.65
Season HIGH =   £2489.75
Season Low  =   £1899.00

Total bets = £1110.14
Returns = £1273.39
BONUS   = £ 100.00
Balance = £2263.15
Profit = +13.16%
ROI  =  +23.71%

One of those weeks where you know it's coming but it still deflates you when it gets here!  No winners and a total loss for the week of £236 leaves my figures looking like this :-

Opening bank =  £2000
Current value = £2191.65
Season HIGH =   £2489.75
Season Low  =   £1899.00

Total bets = £1000.14
Returns = £1091.89
BONUS   = £ 100.00
Balance = £2191.65
Profit = +9.58%
ROI  =  +19.17%

The matrix system I use allows for weeks like this but they're still not nice when they get here!  In reality the ROI has been unrealistic for some time now and I would be looking to finish around the 25% mark (which should leave me with a final fund around the £3500 mark which would be a phenomenal return of around 75% compared to 3% in an ISA).

Graph to follow and thanks for watching !

Just the one game this week resulting in a £62 loss. At least my graph should start to look a bit more like a mountain range now !  Have added a season HIGH to date and a season LOW (as all good investment funds do !)

So :-

Opening bank =  £2000
Current value = £2427.75
Season HIGH =   £2489.75
Season Low  =   £1899.00

Total bets = £764.14
Returns = £1091.89
BONUS   = £ 100.00
Balance = £2427.75
Profit = +21.40%
ROI  =  +55.98%

Didn't think I had any games till next week but after checking my fixtues I have the following on Saturday :-

Wigan v Boltin £62 draw @3.3

Thanks for following !

My results/returns for today

Aston Villa 2-0 Wigan  - £58.00
Sunderland 2-2 WBA     + £139.30

leaving an overall profit of £81.20 . I have also now staked enough with B365 to get the initial £100 bonus which is now withdrawable from my account. I'm going to add this to my overall fund as it's something I only got because of my football betting. This will also allow me to place ny bets earlier with Betfair looking for a bit of extra value.

So ....

Have moved STOPLOSS upto £1992.00

Opening bank = £2000
Total bets = £702.14
Returns = £1091.89
BONUS   = £ 100.00
Balance = £2489.75
Profit = +24.49%
ROI  =  +69.75%

Have moved STOPLOSS upto £1847

Opening bank = £2000
Total bets = £586.14
Returns = £894.59
Balance = £2308.45
Profit = +15.42%
ROI  =  +52.62%

No games for me until next Saturday.


Thanks for following !

2 selections made and am backing Newcastle and West Brom both to draw.  My stake is £56 on each game (bank/40)

I've now also become a fund manager!  Well sort of.  My brother in law (who I have been boring with my tales for the last year) has asked me to stake £2k of his own money.  I don't mind doing this but have only taken £400 off of him as I work to a 20% STOPLOSS.  Hopefully this wont curse my recent good form!

For the sake of this blog I'm only reporting what has happened to my initial £2k investment.

Thanks for following and will update over the weekend.

Newcastle v Blackburn  £56 draw @ 3.5
West Brom v Fulham     £56 draw @ 3.25

.... that is the question !!

A good day return wise.  Villa made +£129.77 and Everton lost -£54.07 making an overall profit of £75.70, which is a roi of 70% on initial bet so very good.

I found myself in an unusual situation where I was able to sit in front of the pc aND MONITOR THE GAMES (Which is something I don't normally do). At one stage both games were 1-1 with 7/8 minutes to go and I could have layed these off at around 1.6/1.7 .  The sensible thing was probably to do this and guarantee a payout but it would be veering from my rigid rules so I decided to let them both run.  Not sure if this was a good or bad thing and would appreciate anyones thoughts on this .....

Anyway overall the fund looks like this :-

Opening bank = £2000
Total bets = £474.14
Returns = £712.59
Balance = £2238.45
Profit = +11.92%
ROI  =  +50.29%

Have moved STOPLOSS upto £1790.00

Two games for me this week. Don't normally place them this early in the week but I've got a busy few days ahead and may not get chance later.  They are :-

Everton v Wigan  draw  £54.07 @ 3.8
Aston Villa v Newcastle draw  £54.07 @ 3.4



Updates to follow !

£137.15 profit from the Fulham game today making it a 100% winning weekend.  Very nice when these happen as they help push up return % quite quickly.  Someone has suggested I post a ROI percentage (this is returns v actual staked rather than bank) so happy to do that. 

Have moved STOPLOSS up from £1688 to £1730

Opening bank = £2000
Total bets = £366.00
Returns = £528.75
Balance = £2162.75
Profit = +8.14%
ROI  =  +44.47%
