Been betting on and off for 4 years.  Nothing big and in total have lost about £2k.  Six months ago I stopped and have actaully been studying what is required to be successful.  Looked at stupid mistakes (such as chasing, doing stupid fun bets and just betting for the sake of it).

I have been doing 'pretend' bets for the past month and it has worked.  I have deposited s small amount today - £100.  My intial aim is to slowly increase that to £1,000 by end of December.  I think this is a realistic target

To anyone else I would recommend this.  it has helped me focus on what I need to be doing.  It may not work and I may die on my arse only time will tell.

You may be right but hopefully I will prove you wrong.

Completly different kettle of fish when you're using real money. Alot easier to avoid chasing, doing stupid fun bets and just betting for the sake of it when it's pretend money, imo.

That is why I am only playing with £100 - testing the waters. If I do good for 6 months will review

Actually, it's all about finding value. If you have an edge, you'll win. If you don't have an edge, you'll lose. Simple as that.

Devlin has said something very sensible. If you have had an issue with chasing etc in the past you need to break those habits and establish new ones for yourself. Paper trading won't do that for you. It will only give you a false sense of security.

I agree with now or never....most punters move on from one day to the next without ever (re)assessing their methodology. I have to take short breaks every now and again, as much to clear the head as anything.
