Ok iv read some of the threads on here with real interest as iv been a member for a while now and still cant figure out how to make it pay.
It seems to me that the real players seem to think 2.5% a day is the only way which i agree with if you can compound it alittle untill you have a decent bank.
Other things i agree with is having maybe 5 different starting banks.
Now im gonna give it a go,a few things though iv considered is i am not gonna skin myself on this so i will be starting with 5 tenner banks and the aim will be much like others to make a minimum of 2.5% on each bank each day.
The only thing i cant really decide is what to do to make that 2.5% each day,seems to me people have tried betting/laying horses,football under/overs and correct scores,greyhounds,and just about every market available without much success.
From what i can see the football markets seem to be the best so im gonna concentrate on them.
Im gonna be 100% honest i will be paper trading until monday(dont have the money to deposit until monday)however after that i wont be but i will post selections to see how it would have started and to see if anyone can offer either CONSTRUCTIVE critacism or advice.

You will have to be very very good to make 1% every day never mind 2.5% .

Bank 1=11.33
Bank 2=10.70
Bank 3=10.80
Bank 4=10.96
Bank 5=14.48

Current p/l +7.77

Normaly wouldnt take chances like i did with bank 5 tonight but was mainly to play off after a quick goal on the other bank but it worked out ok.

Bank 1=11.33 bet under 4.5 goals spurs game @ 1.16 to win 1.72
Bank 2=10.70 bet under 4.5 goals birmingham game @ 1.14 to win 1.43
Bank 3=10.80 bet under 4.5 goals celtic game @ 1.22 to win 2.27
Bank 4=10.96 bet sunderland to win @ 1.63 to win 6.58
Bank 5=14.48 bet 14.48 @ 1.25 over 1.5 goals manchester derby to win 3.45

Again the sunderland game is a chance worth taking imo as although burnley had a good away result at hull both teams were under pressure and sunderland should have enough to take care of their opponents here.
