Well done, fella! Withdraw a chunk of it and reward yourself....there'll still be enough in the balance to have a good chance of getting the increased targets

PJ and Stooginho, thank you for the kind wishes :)
also well done to Hobson last night, great start for you!
It's tough, knowing what to do after a day like yesterday, I realise it's very unlikely I'll have a day like that again. So not so many bets today, backing Ljubicic to win 2-0 in the tennis, hopefully that will oblige and that may do me for the day :)
good luck to all today, hopefully we will all be lucky :)

How do you decide how much to risk on each bet? Enough to reach the desired interest for the day? Apologies for the rookie question but am used to playing around with simple footie bets and have never attempted anything like this before!

hello all, well done freestyle on a sweet few days, nicely cruising along! im gonna start my 25 to a grand effort, i will be back to write a more detailed intro, but just wanted to squeeze my bet in before it ran...

off in 5 mins at towcester. at the moment, my only wish is that this doesnt fall flat on its face at the first hurdle!

Just backed Lacko quite big, Ljubo is looking awful here!
He looks ill, so may even retire after this set, if so, my set betting bet will be refunded, and also my big back on Lacko will win! :D
That would be an ideal outcome, alternatively I am very confident Lacko will win, so whether Ljubo retires or not will be irrelevant!

well the forum went all to buggery just as i was preparing a post, so im going to have to aftertime already. happily my first bet obliged, so i invested my massive 12.73 winnings on this bet...

Killultagh Queen 1.27 £12.73 £3.44
Ref: 10023531916 Bet placed: 13:51 04-Feb-10

which was the 2:15 at clonmel. was a bit worried about the drift of killutagh, and backing of the eventual winner, but luckily there was nothing else in the same class and ruby got it placed. have a pleasingly rounded 16.00 to put on the next bet.

Wrll done mate, great stuff. Hope you keep it up!
As for my bets, well Lacko has just been broken whilst serving for the match :( Hopefully he can still go on to win though, hopefully :(

By:

When: 04 Feb 10 13:45
ah, unlucky not to at least get it to a tie break there :(

not sure you should switch tho - think you were right first time, ljubicic looks near death! took about 5 days to walk from his chair to serve!

right, maybe a couple more for tonight, starting with the 17:50 at wolves. the fav, greyfriarschorista should still be well in, and although backing hat-trick seeking horses makes me nervous for some reason, im gonna side with it to win. its 1.29, so i dont need to whack the lot on to hit my target, so ive done this...

im not normally a boomer, but booooommmm! another very easy one, greyfriars is about to be put up a stone when the ratings come out, and it showed. so thats 4/4, with a current bank of 26.59, which actually works out as one bet ahead of target. maybe one more for tonight.
