had to start a new thread AGAIN because betfair forum messed up and wont let me post in the other threads for some reason.. maybe its a sign not to do this but it could be interesting haha
its going to take 49 bets all in at odds of 1.1 to get to this mark so for the sake of this im going to be working out how many targets completed in regards to 1.1s however already placed a couple of bets and odds were greater than 1.1, ill update them later but that thread is f**ked
anyone else wants to join in feel free to its only 10 quid so if it loses its not a disaster

Where's all the point in all this, or more to the point all the science ?
Not being rude stevie. If it works for you, I suppose that's good enough really. |
|
By:
science?
its abit of fun... and good if it comes off |
|
By:
You just said it Stevie.
A piece of fun essentially, unless you are really trying to make it a profession. |

from 10 quid? no thanks mate.. haha im a student, not looking 30k a year (just yet)
wouldnt mind learning how to though but think that requires decent funds behind you |
|
By:
No you can build it up slowly over time.
Patience is an extremely important element in gambling, or in fact any form of speculation. You'll never make 30 grand a year straight away from a low base most certainly, but you can in time if you reinvest all profits and take your time. You must have a plan in place before you do anything. Know why you are betting in the sense of what you expect to achieve in what time frame. Be totally realistic in this sense. |
|
By:
what would you say as realistic? and what sort of plan do you mean? do you mean staking plan etc?
|
|
By:
Yes staking is part of it all.
Your bet size obviously has to be in relation to your bank. No set rule on this. I personally try to estimate my worst case bad run scenario and bet according to how that relates to my current bank. As far as how much you can expect to earn in what time frame, there is much variety of opinion on that on here. For me, I couldn't really expect to much more than double my overall bank in a year. But many others claim to be able to do far better than that. Of course in the real world of financial investing, doubling your bank every year would see you rated as a genius. On here it gets seems to get you rated as a plodder at best, and a plonker at worst. |

By:
depends about that mate.. if u have 50k on here and can make 50k a year thats a good enough wage for me
then the next year 100k [;)] like i said this is for fun with 10 quid, being a student that 1k would really help right now |

By:
1) lay PSG vs Dortmund @ 3.1

By:

You're getting far too close to all this for your own good sake.
You've got to become far less emotional and more detached and objective. You're never going to win every bet, you know that. You're just trying to win more than you lose in the final analysis. |

stevie if you're going to do one of these things at least do something interesting.
How about a 3-1 challenge?? 50p stakes for 1000 bets. |
|
By:
rocket try that...will sometime soon, will see what happens with this one though! |
|
By:
Would be a banterous thread but you'd have to keep it going for a good few hundred bets, could you do that?
|
|
By:
not so sure as i cant be betting EVERY game, got things to do during the day etc, only some days im on for afternoon games so would take a longggg time
