Well guys, here it is, the long anticipated return.
I did post a thread up previously but was just called 'Yoahut' which perhaps didn't invoke any interest from others as it wasn't really the name of a challenge!
Anyway, I have been betting today and I have built up a very nice opening day total, far exceeding just 1 day!
My particular challenege involves a £100 starting bank but I do welcome all others with a lower amount to join in, and i'd happily post up an adjusted table for you.
The goal is to make it through they year, and enjoy untold riches :)
Will Post P&L for the day shortly, but here is the ludicrously lucrative table!

VL, I know, and I appreciate that I am not the most disciplined, but i'm sure I explained on a previous post that im on holiday for the next week. I know i'm going slightly beyond that, this is because i'm trying to match up my days completed to the day of the year. Its day 29 now, Would love to match that and then progress accordingly with the calendar year.

Haha, Yes, attempting to match that does seem near impossible, but lets be fair, I don't think i'd be spending very time on here should I managed to get away with 50k+

Bank back down to £110.71, which does put me well ahead of day 2, which is how long i've been competing!
Anyway, my flight leaves for Geneva at 6am tomorrow, hitting the slopes in Flaine, god I love snowboarding.
I really hope this thread continues in my absence, see you all in a weeks time!

Bonjour!!!!!
Hello everybody :) Managed to get on here for an hour or so to check how everybody are doing.
Nice to see you about Panda, did you get my emails?
VS, how are things, you doing incredibly well in the other thread it seems, hopefully that transfers over to here :)

On a personal note, bank currently sitting at £153.70 which means I have completed 17 days :) This means I am comfortably on target even if i don't bet for the remainder of my holiday.

The snow is incredible over here, soooo powdery, you can just chuck your body about and have no fear whatsoever!

Come on guys, show me how you're all doing? I want to see ow these banks are rising :D

hello freestyle, i like the cut of your jib, and the general bonhomie on this thread, so im gonna stick my 10 quid, 1.2, all in, 25 bets to a grand mission in here, if thats ok? if nothing else it saves a bit of space on the thread page.

obviously 20% is a bit more than your own mission (it cannot be done etc), but hopefully will we have similarly pleasing results!

@ Bacontrout, thank you for the kind words mate, really!
Yes of course, i'd love for you to post in here, the more the merrier, best of luck ey ;)
And to all, lets keep the activity up in here :D
VS, I love my snowboarding, the Yoahut will definately be making a pit stop on snowy shores! :D

As for the betting side of things, my favorite comp is in play tonight, the Copa Libertadores!!!
Had quite a good betting run in last seasons version, hopefully can continue it here! :D

Things are always very tough early on, but from last year, Tachira were a very strong defensive unit, but they do lack offensively! Wheras Libertad are quite a free flowing team, not the best, but will create chances, and consequently offer chances up to opponents. This is a 2nd leg with Tachira taking a 1-0 lead in from the 1st leg. I expect Libertad to go at this hammer and tong, and i'd be extremely surprised if they didn't get the win here to see them through!
Thus my bets will be,

Back Libertad -1.5 @ 2.55
Lay 0-0 HT score @ 3.35
Back AU correct score @ 7.8

Goodnight folks :D

Bank now up to £247.53 which means that I have now completed 38 days :)

As you can see, a pretty incredible day!
I know this is going well above the 2.5% per day, but I set out my bets in a way that I either win big, small, or make a small loss. I do this by staking higher in specific areas on bets im more confident to cover the loss of the less confident bet. Fortunately for me, pretty much all of them came in today!!!

Now from now on I will be taking things very easy, well ahead of target!
No rush from here, just continue my way through and hope that the big money comes my way :)

And the day isn't yet over, gone very big on Over 1.5 first half goals in Cruzeiro v Real Potosi game. Although this does seem rash, if anybody here watched the 1st leg you will understand exactly why I hve placed this bet, should have been at least 7-0,8-0 in the first leg!
