Mate. Knock it on the head for 6 months.
If you have to keep going, stick to smaller stakes. Forget about the losses or you'll always be chasing them. Start from scratch. |

Fair enough, all I was saying was that maybe there might be other things that a different type of analysis would look at, apart from the usual style of analysis. They might also take longer to consider. Sometimes I might look at a match without being able to form an immediate view, then go away or maybe even sleep on it before deciding.
I think I banging on about nothing in particular here! Basically all I was saying was different strokes & all that. |

about the "those who know and so on...."
and about the "if u have a winning system u dont sell it..." I agree 80% the other 20% is this: There are some persons (including me) who give sensible advice to newbies, I even run a blog in which I get 500 visits a day, I expose the good and the ugly things to the best of my knowledge. I show my trades, but dont tell exactly how I do everyone of them. And there a some ppl in here who are worth a read. If someone had a system that gives him an edge, lets say secure 1 or 2 ticks or something like that, u name it, whatever, even a slight edge... what if selling that system will provide you with extra cash without ruining the system itself? I know these are exceptions, 99% are scammers. Im just saying that not ALL people are con men. Anyone gets my point? |

Almost risk free betting on a Saturday.
Bet £3.65 do the Channel Four 4/1 offer on the TV racers. So you:- 1) Back a horse over 4/1 with £3.65 and lay off on Betfair. 2) If horse losers go to next race and do the same. 3) If horse wins you have a free bet on the next race. Back a horse over 4/1 and lay off on Betfair. 4) I f horse wins repeat step 3. 5) When horse losers you win. |

14 days have passed since I posted my tale of woe and I've been doing some paper bets and small stakes and here is a summary.
Have recouped approx £250 in the 2 weeks. Mainly by either laying correct scores or by backing players/teams where I would normally be influenced by name or by a short price and have been going against this - whether you'd call this luck or me finally recognising value I don't know. I've won someting like 18 out of 25 bets (approx) and feel a little better about things. Part of me wished I'd have risked more as the figure could have been £500 profit but I must be thankful for what I've made so far and taking it slowly is the way forward for me at this time. I realise one bad day could make a set me back but I feel happier than 2 weeks ago. Some examples of my bets are Backed Cardiff v Forest last Sunday - layed off b4 the equaliser Backed Tsonga @ 3.4 v Youzhny the other day and layed off after 1 set - he went on to retire so bet would have lost Backed Martinez 2.6 yesterday when a set down - she won Backed Stepanek 2.52 today v Cilic when a set down - he won Layed 3-0 in the arsenal game the other night as they are scoring for fun. Layed 1-2 in the Man Utd game the other night as they were bound to score after Fergies HT hairdryer. I don't know what I can summarise from my betting activity - don't believe I've changed things so maybe I'm heading for disaster down the road or maybe I'm just more sensible with my money I'm risking instead of thinking "Cilic is 1.56 and a set up (but down a break) he's bound to win", down goes £100 - this was my approach in the past. It's also only 2 weeks and I need to prove myself over a longer period but it' nice to know that I've had 14 days in a row making money for a change. |

Baz, I know you are still worried about having another wobbler. Go over what I said about the mental aspect again. If you can master yourself, the rest is a walk in the park in comparision. Stay cool.
When you record your bets, record how you feel about the result win or lose and how you feel about the next bet. Start with your next bet and do it forever. When you record this you can look back and identify your flash points and not repeat them. |

You care too much about individual bets. I don't care if i only win 1 in 50 if it's 100/1 |

I think i might join him, mugs game [smiley:crazy] |

I don't believe my comment needs to be pretty intelligent. It needs to be something he understands. For example he's complaining about being 1.6k down, yet he's betting 400/500 a time? What on earth is strange about being 1600 down if you are betting that big? I actually think the guy is on the wind-up. Surely nobody could be this stupid.

This thread is originally from almost a year ago and, to be fair, i haven't seen the original poster since so i guess he cut his losses and got out.
