i would say daily is ok ..as there are horse races everyday ,
i do weeky ..one you have to allow you arent going to win everytime , also i bet on sports that arnt on everyday , if you are winning its always tempting to bet bigger , the amount of times i have won say 8 times or so small , to be wiped out by one short price cert..lol..lumping on , if you avoid big losses , lots of small gains ... soon builds up ..and you are learning as you go , |

In your experence how do you accept a losing day the reason i ask is because ive seen friends of mine in a shop chasing there loses and i really want to avoid that

i look at it like graph ...
take the stock market ....you may exspect your stocks to go up long term , but being realistic ..nobody would exspect it to go up and up everyday ! it will go up and down ,,lets hope there are more ups than downs , limit the size of the down by a max limit bet too , sometimes i chase and double up at a much better price..hoping to trade out at a profit if they draw level , ...cant do that in shops !..but mostly i m happy if im in profit...and trade out , you will find your own way , ...but if you only want to pick winners ..it will be very tough , i would say almost impossible to do well long term , , if you are just staring off ..you are bound to make mistakes ..so let them be little ones ..many its not aprob ..learn a way best for you to profit , if you spent a day reading all the threads here on general betting ..you will pick some ideas up |

Good to see you're still offering your wisdom, wit and winning mentality to the forum. You have to be commended because so many idiots come on here spouting they've cracked it and are making so much they don't know what to do with it only to disappear in a cloud of bu ll sh it, well done.

profit is possible on betfair. But it comes down to the individual to not deviate from what they know in order to make a continuous profit. In this day and age of 'click and bet', it is easy to stray from what you know.
In the past 30 days, any losses I had were: a) due to a mistake b) bending my own 'rules of engagement' c) not doing the research or taking on a sport where my strike-rate is weak. d) pushing the stake (no, not chasing. Just pushing the risk). Examples: a) My spreadsheet reading the horses had a different order to that on the platform. I laid the wrong horse in-running. b) Last week at evening racing at Kempton, I laid a horse in a race that historically I had a return of -40% ROI over a long period. As well, the type of horses were rated from naught so was a donkey race. Horse won at 4/1. c) I took on U.S. Racing the past month because of my schedule. Was doing okay with small stakes then got lazy and played a race without digging as deep as I normally do. This was combined with (d) when I was trading to reduce the risk only to get caught out on momentum and rather than red out, I 'let it ride'. Prior to that and since that (including three days off to chill), I made a steady profit through proper research and playing two (repeat two) markets only: UK HORSES and NHL HOCKEY. I did not win every bet but made a steady profit through backs, lays, trading and trading to reduce risk. With 3 meetings a day, I don't need to play every race. I usually choose the two tracks I have a better strike rates at then will 'glance' at the third track if there is a type of race that I usually do well at. There is always another horse race so no harm in skipping one or two. Enjoy the cup of tea away from the screen. It will clear your brain. With a PC in front of us, we have more information than most to make decisions. Yet we'll 'cut corners'. Any losing plays I had in the past 30 days were because of that. The vision is clear if you want it to be. Good luck to all in 2011. |

Dosen't matter how good your system is if you lose it all because the site goes down and you can't lay it off.

funlovingexpress, I have been caught out on the site crashing as well. I, fortunately, have not lost my whole bank.
But I do monitor the site carefully now. The tell-tale sign are sometimes there and best just to take the day off rather than fight the stream. And that goes for if your broadband supplier is having a rough day (sometimes simply turning off your router for ten minutes can reassign your access to the net). As well, if you are exposing your whole bank, then that's a mindset you have to look at. If you are going to take that route, make sure you have the funding to cover yourself through a bookie (since laying off simply means placing bets on other outcomes). This wasn't to defend betfair but the fact remains that technology on all levels, simple or complex, is not flawless and contingencies have to be there. |
