1.5 to 2.5 % a day is achievable and its how i look at building the bank and it works for me betting on goal markets once in play...my problem is discipline though build the bank nicely then waste a weeks work on a stupid boredem bet on the greyhounds or horses!
If only I could delete horse/dogs from this site!! |

im gonna have a go at this this year too and as someone else posted my prob is boredom bets like in play nfl at 3 am after a night on the ale or some mls game i know nothing about trying to boost the bank but i think im gonna open a second account just for this purpose !!!good luck anyway !

By:
thanks guys
goodluck to you aswell discipline's normally my problem too but once ive got my 2.5% ill stop till next day |
|
By:
good luck but doing just 1 a day is pointless since some days may be 4 or 5 very good 'safe' bets yetyou will take1 leave the other good ones and then bet potentially on a more riskier one next day.
|
|
By:
yeah but ive bin there before and thought just another 1 and ended up losing
where do you stop after all its not a sprint its a marathon |

Setting yourself a target of 2.5% of your bank a day is a dangerous strategy in my opinion.
Let me explain: If for example your bank is 1000 and you plan to make 25 for the day. On your first bet you lose 100, now according to your starting target for the day you now have to make 125. This can lead to you losing your discipline and patience and start chasing, by making stupid bets. This is a very dangerous strategy, especially if it works for you in the short term, because in the long run you can easily lose your total bank balance by chasing in one day. In short, be happy if you only make 1 a day for 3 weeks |

I will join in if you don't mind |
|
By:
why not start with 200 quid and go for 1% to 1.5% a day.
you would do it easley |
|
By:
Never chase either, and look at your average being 1% + a day, some days you make a bit more other days you dont have a bet...discipline my friend!
happy christmas all, pity there's no footy on today! |

By:
will u be posting your bets on here i may join in ?

Good luck pal
|
|
By:
I've looked at this several times ....it must be dooable - especially on the footie.
So I'm going to give it a go - start at £100 & take 1.02 I think the key is discipline... its a long hard slog. Good luck guys. |
|
By:
The key is discipline as you say, and it can be done.
|
|
By:
might do this myself, how do you calulate this sort of thing? if i started at 500 and aimed for 1% everyday how much would i have at end of year?
|
|
By:
500*1.01^365 = 18891.71 (rounded down)
|
|
By:
starting with £500 does that mean 365 bets at 1.01 would make you nearly 19000,reckon that could be done but sometimes 1.01s get busted as we all know
|
|
By:
You dont have to risk all in on a 1.01 to make 1%... there are better ways of doing it
|
|
By:

I was able to compound my bank by an average of 0.5% per active day back in 2007/2008.
Nowadays the PC takes a massive chunk, and I have more cash to bet with. For that reason I aim for 0.32% per day, but even that is very challenging. When you have a small bank, you carefully select the very best opportunities. As your bank gets larger, you will need to focus on having your money working for you all the time in (almost) any profitable opportunity. For instance, if you have say £5k in your account, laying at odds of 1000 is likely to be a bad move, as the return is tiny (impossible to trade out quickly at a profit), and you are likely to be able to make more betting at lower odds. However, if you have £100k, these kind of bets can make sense. The day to day fluctuations shouldn't concern you too much. When you set your targets, you should be realistic and factor in losses. Having a target of x% per day, doesn't mean making this each day, it means averaging this gain. Bear in mind that with large losses, you will need even larger % gains just to break even. If you lose 25% of your balance, you will need to make a gain of 33.33% just to break even. By the way, I spent my first 6 months on here averaging a profit of less than £2 per day (with a lot of volatility!). I then started focusing on cutting down risk and making a steady profit. This worked extremely well and in 2007 I had 96.64% winning days with 18.64% profit on turnover (even more than now because I take more risk). I was still making less than £10 a day, but the level of consistency allowed me to grow profits quickly. Focus on making a consistent profit. Focus on learning and improving your skills. When I started out I was determined not to become one of these guys that blows £10k and says it was a good education. Not that I have anything against those people, I just prefer to get my education for free. It should initially be seen more as a time investment than a cash investment. Some people may think they are wasting their time betting with a small bank with which they can't make any meaningful amounts. The idea is, that if you can make any profit at all consistently (even if it's £1 a day), you will probably be able to scale up. If things go wrong, you will only lose a small amount. |
