free good to see u back sorry to hear about you accident i managed to get back the money i lost on madrid and am currently 1 month in front of my 2 year plan early days but going in the right direction ( sorry never said my 2 year plan is too fully pay the house off) haha wishful thinking!!!!
|

By:
Hello Hobson, a 2-year plan is excellent - it takes so much pressure off hitting the big figures in just 12 months.
Anyone about on here through the day? Stayed up late (6am) last night having a go at allsorts - Copa Lib, Casino, Basketball, Poker :| |

Classic Clough! Glad Free took it so well! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah he did Wedged. To be fair though despite me being 3 times his age it is 1.01 that i could stay a couple of yards infront of him at the mo. ;^o |

You blitzed in to other areas I see then Wedged. Successful?

How are yer Free.
Are you betting today. |
|
By:
Might not bet for a while Tom, as I don't think my mind is really in the right place to benefit me.
How about you? I see you've posted up your bets, and i'm intrigued by your Italian serie B choice. Not for the reason that I think it will lose, just wondering what possessed you to bet on that? I mean do you know something i don't ;) :D |
|
By:
Free,LIGUE 2. France.
Go to h2h stats on the main site and look at the rating compared with those of other games, Click on the head to head page and see list of results for both teams. Should be odds on imo. |
|
By:
Hehe Clough, you have a good chance with that kind of handicapping :)
Free, yes it went well really, betting on a few things. I was only really playing around though, using my main bank. I'm not going to make a habit of it. Why you not betting now? After the injury, or the loss after you flip-flopped? |
|
By:
Good to hear that you were successful, never been in to the casino myself.
As for the reason i'm not betting, took a big hit the other day. Bank still admirable but confidence at a very low point at the minute. Attribute that to the fact that my mind is probably not completely focused at the minute (Injury and my girlfriend has just left for a skiing holiday a few days ago, i'm missing her so my mind is kinda elsewhere) I highly doubt it would prove positive for me to risk my already jeaopardised position. Do you think any different? |
|
By:
Just finished, been on the horses all day - 19/23 winning trades today, so that's an 82% strike rate which i'd take any day.
Start Bank £50 Day 5/20 Horse Racing: £86.62 | Tote: | Total P&L: £86.62 Bank £200.41 So that means currently averaging £30 a day, which isn't bad off a tiny £50 bank. |
|
By:
Wow!!!
I just don't know how you do it mate, I really wish I knew! :D haha |
|
By:
Free, look back at what you did just a few days ago, that was great going! We both know you can do it, the evidence is there... just gotta remember to not get carried away with the betting when you are on a good run, keep the bets small.
Personally, I don't see any reason why not to get back on the horse (especially being layed up injured and no gf to be entertaining). Just do a few small bets of under a fiver liability... suitable opportunites permitting! |

French div2. Nimes V Le Harve.£7 home win @2.46.for £10.01. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------This one cost me the profit on Milan and the small UQ lay of monchengladbach. Lost 14p on tonights venture so will not chase as i dont want to go down that particular slippery slope. Wedged. Good day for you and suppose today will be good for the nags,GL EVERYONE. |

Hi fellas,
Not so good today on the footy front,Lost £10 early on Chelsea ht/ft and decided to use small lays on c/scores the rest of the day to recover it and profits can be made another day. In fact some profit may be close as i posted at 00.04 12 Feb that i had backed small on Dustin Johnsons two ball match and was so impressed i backed him at 6.0 @ £5 to win overall. Well he has just walked to the 12th tee having picked up an amazing 7 shots in 11 holes,as his odds came in to 2.03 i decided to lay for my stake and settle for a smaller amount. 25 holes to go but you dont often back a golfer and see him put such distance between him and the pack in such a short space of time. |

Wedged. Good day for you and suppose today will be good for the nags You would have thought, but I only got to play a couple and then had to go off for a meal and drinks etc with friends for Chinese New Year. So sadly missed out on all the racing action but had a great time out... I did take £11 from those two races but i'm not going to include that in my 20-day results as I don't think it fair on the stats. BTW, great golf bet!! Where was the heads up? :) |

Today./Football+£12.01/Golf+£15.06/=R/TOT/+111.28.
Pleased with the decision not to chase yesterday and wait for better games today,the need for discipline on this challenge seems to make a difference to my selections. For instance,First bet backed Chelsea ht/ft for £10 yesterday and was annoyed that they were losers on a list of five bets,so no chase. Valencia were a goal down last night away at Gijon and home team were 1.8 and ideal for a lay under my normal plan. Placed the bet and wondered if Valencia had any game in europe midweek and as i had no answer decided to bail out immediately for no loss in case they were not on the job. Result was a draw but gave me a reminder of not placing a bet unless everything fits the bill. Hope to see a little more interest in this thread because i think it helps those of us that are small stakes players to avoid placing bets JUST because the stakes are so small. |

Hello everybody :)
Thank you so so much for keeping this thread alive (Clough and Wedged) :) Considering shifting my way of betting. Bank is a nice size and I would really like to have a go at trading rather than punting. Obviously I will still be betting on the same manner of things, but rather than letting bets run, I will be say looking for aa 10point tick movement in my favour before going all green. I think tennis may be my best opportunity for this, but I will still play the goal markets largely in football. This would mean that I will be just posting up my P+L at the end of the day which I appreciate isn't quite as much fun as say reading my Libertadores picks. Due to this, I am separating my bank. Splitting completely down the middle, half trading, half my usual way of punting. Hopefully delving in to this new venture may make my profits more consistent rather than very good, or very bad. |
