I did start with a bank of that amount and my bets are either 5%, 2% or 1% of whatever my bank currently stands at. After 14 months I now have £17,000 and my bets are now either £850, £425 or £112.50

you need money to make money..
the reason 98% of all sports betters fail is because they dont bet high enough |

a person with a £500 bank could turnover far more than a person with a £10,000 bank though!

£2000 a week with a 10k bank is easilly doable.. I'm not sure about that, I struggle to get into 3 figures each week. |

By:
i think i could comfortably do £500 a week profit, which is increasing my bank by less than 1% a day
my problem is i only bet on football usually so my chances to bet would be limited |

I think one of the most under rated systems on here is the "low risk high reward" system....
by this i mean laying at low odds where the risk is low but the rewards are high... for example a low risk/high reward system i use is laying the correct score in football matches once it reaches 1.10 for £200 a time (£20 liability) now i done this 100's upon 100's of times last season but this season ive done it 5 times... orient/charlton.....goal scored in injurytime +£200 forest/leeds........no goal scored -£20.00 man utd/newcastle...no goal scored -£20.00 young boys/spurs....no goal scored -£20.00 AFC/histon..........goal scored in injurytime +£200 +340 i have risked £100 but i have made £340 profit (just under £326 after comm) 326% ROI from these 5 bets alone. I will never understand people who back @ odds of 1.10. If you back at 1.10 for £100 and you get 9 winners then you make £90 profit (b4 comm) if the 10th bet loses then after 10 bets you are down £10 so you need 10/10 just to be turning a profit now if you lay at 1.10 and you lose 9 times you are £90 down, but if the 10th is a winner then you make £100 which is giving you £10 profit after 10 bets when uve had 1 winner and losers backing 1.10.....9 winners, 1 loser -£10 laying 1.10......1 winner, 9 losers +£10 if you can get 2 winners laying at 1.10 then it starts to look good. laying 1.10....2 winners, 8 losers +£120 You would be surprised how many injuryime goals are scored....especially if the home team is not winning |

thanks i-only-lay

By:
seriously which is the better strategy?
laying at 1.10 where you need 10/10 just to make a profit or laying at 1.10 where you need 1 winner out of 10 to make a profit. i know which i would rather be doing... I am currently on the 3rd chapter of my book I am writing  |
|
By:
typo above.. meant to say backing at 1.10 where you nee 10/10 or laying at 1.10 where you need 1/10

im only looking for opinions really
as you can see from my post count im not someone new who is looking for people to tell him how to win money |
|
By:
yes and i was giving you my opinion....10k bank can make £2000 a week no probs
using £100 per point, £2000 a week is childs play TBH |

I Only /lay Good Post & Very True The Shorter The Better

i will keep a look out for these correct scores
ive never understood people that back really short prices about 4 years ago i started with £100 and turned it into £300 i lumped the 300 on the draw in a match that was 1.05. think it was 0-0 with about 1 minute left anyway 1 team got a penalty, but missed made me realise that betting those sort of odds is crazy and i never did it again |

1.01 was done in last nights afc/histon match (under 1.5 goals when scores 0-0)
this went to 1.01 with 89 mins on the clock, so there was still 1 minute plus 3/4 injurytime so 4-5 mins in total 92nd and 93rd min goals and that was that.. you could have made your £2000, with a risk of £20 strategy i sometimes use is laying 3 goals ahead, for example if there is 0 gozls in the match i lay under 2.5 goals around 80/81 mins (looking for 3 goals in the final 10-14 mins) im risking £20 to win £2000 so im hardly going to worry about the loss that will occur very often.. one game with chlesea last season they scored 3 goals in the final 7 minutes (chelsea actually twice last season scored 3 goals in the last 10 mins) last time newcastle went to old trafford man utd scored in the 85th, 88th and 91st min gubbing a 1.01 on under 5.5 goals with score at 3-0 in the 83rd min (i know because i made £2000 from it) everton/villa had 3 goals in last 5 mins 2 seasons ago, it is rare but it does happen a ood few times over a season |

By:
yes i can understand about the 3 goals betting
i backed spurs at 3-0 down and managed to get a trade in for a small profit last night |
|
By:
Im gutted i missed out on last nights 1.01 gubbing in the AFC/histon match (too busy watching spurs)
TBH ive only had 2 1.01 winning lays, they were the man utd game mentioned above and rangers vs hamilton last season, rangers were 2-0 up on 40 mins and i laid them to be winning at HT @ 1.01 and hamilton incredibly scored 3 goals and went in 3-2 ahead i missed out on both of chelseas 1.01 gubbings last season...expected to hit a good few this season now im taking low risk/high reward more seriously |

Have a read of the thread "winners don't share. Discuss" on here. The first few pages are worth reading and should answer your Q. |

cheers

laying or backing these 1.1 football bets blind will lead to the same outcome - losses. The commission will get you. The only way to win on any sport is to spot the value bets.

£2000 a week with a 10k bank is easilly doable.. I love these posts. |
|
By:
i would say 500 per week before charges based over the year is easily possible provided you dont mind putting your bank on the line each time . It is all dependant on your skill and/with the risk.
The risk factor i would say is a big issue , how much of your bank are you willing to risk each game regardless of the possibilities ? |
|
By:
Possible but not easily possible.
|
|
By:
500 a week would mean increasing my bank by less than 1% a day, which i think is possible
the staking and risk is the thing i need to look at |

Take Me Out take a tip from zip ive been in the game 50 years plus ,. and i never heard of a pro punter on football why theres only 3 outcomes . horses racing is the way to go snooker, wrestling , ping pong . 3 card brag forget em .
10 k to bet forget days weeks split your season into two aim for 30k each half ...... that gets you 60k and thats a good wage |
|
By:
Any game when theres only 2 players you cannot win
football wrestling tennis ping pong tossing a coin thats five i could give you more but hope you get the drift |
|
By:
You haven't learnt much in 50 years then:
17 outcomes in the correct score market 9 outcomes in the ht/ft market |
