Looking down the list. It's quite sensible as well. As if you're laying over 4.5 at around 7's or 8's, it's not a massive wipeout if one goes down. A loss on day 116 at 7.8 would only lose you £300 of your bank.
I think I may well have a go. I never knew the numbers were that astronomical. Makes me wonder just how much some betfair punters have in their accounts :0 |
|
By:
yeah just look at the stats only two games in the prem and championship this weekend was over 4.5 and they both involved top of the table sides man u and newcastle
|
|
By:
I imagine though that once you get towards day £200, liquidity becomes a bit of a problem.
|

By:
might have to more sprend ur 20% bank into smaller bets to reach 2.5% nice problem to have though
|
|
By:
Free is on his hols still I think, snowboarding around until he breaks a leg or sumin....
What are you guys views on the % - 2.5 about right, too much, too little (easy)? |
|
By:
Oi Oi chaps, will be posting on this thread a bit from now on. Hello all who are new to the compound interest challenge too!
Just read through the thread and very pleased to see Free with a bit of confidence back - perhaps a bit too much there at the end?? :) Nice one Free, 100 - 350 odd is great going. Bet you felt a little bit invincible at the end though ehy? Careful - keep the stakes low all the time i'd say! I need a sun tan, and Yoahuts give you the best ones!! |

Starting today I have taken a daft £50 to see what I can turn it into in 20 days.
I will be running my proper bank too, but the idea of this is to go back to basics - playing with the small sums helps remind you of the importance of money and the vulnerablility of your bank. Sorry, no relation to the 2% jobbie. Day 1/20 Horse Racing: £26.97 | Tote: | Total P&L: £26.97 Bank £76.97 |

Good start Wedged.
Good to see you around again along with some names from last time. Would like to give this a go again but must find more time than was able to afford it last time. Good advice Wedged as ever. |

By:
Helloo Clough - I keep forgetting the time constraints for others - well, hope you find the time and the luck!

All part of the Betfarce fun, ehy! |

Giving this a go with £50 for a little banter and hopefully a lot of profit.
Cheap treble on the football tonight gives £27.24. Day1.Football/£27.24/ Profit.£27.24.R/Tot.£77.24. |

By:

Free, you must be back about now fella? |
|
By:
Posted mine last time i did this and sometimes had no time to post on here after placing bets.
Spring and summer is busy for me and then i tend to become an aftertimer. Feel no shame though when posting winning days,feel like sh1t though when aftertiming losing ones. |

Good to see you Rob,how are you.
If anyone is looking for a small % increase before the weekend the i suggest you look at AC Milan on Friday. 1.65 i got tonight and the true odds in my weekly are 1.48 against Udinese who frankly are p1sh. |
|
By:

Didn't have time to post yesterday's disaster - here it is:
Start Bank £50 Day 3/20 Horse Racing: -£33.62 | Soccer: -£2.61 | Tote: | Total P&L: -£36.23 Bank £75.25 Two bits of outrageously bad luck, and the other bet was a naughty chase which lost more. Do as I say, not as I do! Today's was status quo thankfully. Just finished the horses (leaving the last at Kemp alone): Start Bank £50 Day 4/20 Horse Racing: £35.24 | Tote: | Total P&L: £35.24 Bank £110.49 May look at the Copa Lib tonight if I don't go out. Anyone with any insight into it, as I have next to none... Free, you usually have an idea? P.S. Hello Rob ;) |
|
By:
Looking now Wedged.
Estudiantes too short to back,overs for me. Some detail on footy thread. |
|
By:
Cheers!
|
|
By:
never betting on al madrid again
|
|
By:
Day3./Golf+2.68/
Football did not interest me tonight until deciding to back Estudi overs. Bet unmatched right on kick off and then noticed purple place is not doing in-play. Bet one small one on golf to make daily profit. £4 Dustin Johnson in 2ball match @ 1.7. Cut through the field on the final few holes to take the lead at 8 under at Pebble Beach,tourno he won last year. Grabbed some 6.0 to win outright.worth a look imo. R/TOT/£84.39. Profit.£4.47.R/Tot.£81.71/ |

|
By:
Been in hospital Tom :(
Had to get a helicopted down from the slopes, fractured my ankle in two places :( Travel insurance for £20 saved me a medical bill of £1080!!!!! |
|
By:
Btw, both you and Wedged are doing tremendously well :D
Great to see the old boys posting :D Just need to get Panda and VS, and also get Robbie taking part! :D |
|
By:
ffs sorry to hear that Free.
Trust me to wade in with a joke and then get the facts. Your betting was going well last few posts but i fear for you now you have so much idle time. |
|
By:
Ah don't feel bad Tom, you weren't to know, and you certainly weren't to blame!
I fear for the bank too! Had a couple of bad days and bank is at £218.94 Really bad few days considering where I was. Considering taking a week or so off, but I don't want this thread to diee!!!! Im glad both you and Wedged are doing so well though :) |
