My aim is to make £10.00 a day from a £50 bank.   withdraw the tenner as soon as its made and log out.  concentrate on horse laying in irish handicaps with 10+ runners +.  Not bothered with form but favour heavy weights and perhaps female riders.  might just lay the top horse in the betfair listing for a fiver.  will be content with £3k for the first year.  What can possibly go wrong.

We'll I started a couple of days ago a 'Maria Laying' type of horse laying challenge (starting bank £2.5K).

I just hope I have enough discipline to carry it through ... and not chase when on a losing running.

Of course by now I've realised that there just isn't enough irish races with 10 plus runners etc to allow me to make a tenner a day on them.  So as you can see I've branched out displaying shocking indiscipline in the process.  I will continue to try to make a tenner each day but working commitments will curtail my endeavours to mainly weekends.            Just as well you might add

Well as you can guess I blew the bank shortly after.  Then re-invested and blew it again.  Tried again with £50 on 13th and managed to recover.
Now 216 bets since New year's day i'm £86 up and will be happy to make £100 a month.  Lost mos of my money on football but then discovered greyhounds and they + the horses put me back on top. 
Charting my progress on excel is proving very worthwhile.

Onward and upwards

Mornin all time for a progress report.  Original target £10 profit per day from a £50 bet.
Played           19 days    made 200 bet
Won              14 days       
Lost             5 days

Profit so far    £137.33

Pretty pleased with that as its not 100 miles off my target.  Of course it hasn't all been
plain sailing, as I've lost my bank 3 or 4 times but managed to sterady the ship eventually.
From now on I will be less aggressive in my wagers as I try to protect my profit.  Strangely enough
I'm beginning to be excessively proud of my profit chart and can barely resist flashing it up
on the projector at work.

I know it's just a laugh and a hobby Bomb, but you're only hope of a profit is if you keep to the original plan, i.e. draw out the tenner per day. Not being critical, but at least then you can use the same money to start again when the inevitable chasing loss wipeout occurs.
