Ive been on here near on 7 years, tried various methods, to try and make some income out of my love for football, but failed 
So decided i wont be reloading again and playing with the 3.30 i have left in betfair account.
Its true you do need an edge but i cannot find one, so decided just to bet on things i cannot possibly see losing hence the prices will be very very low
Please dont mock on come on here and take the piss, i never have done to anyone else, so would like that respect returned
Its going to be a short price attempt that most will say will be doomed from start so if you dont like the thread plz do not read, any advice mind will be appreciated
First bet Barcelona v Arsenal - Arsenal Win Both Halves NO 3.30 @1.02

Think the first target would be to vastly exceed the amount of bets that odds suggest I should take a hit on, if that makes sense! I know I have a long way to go yet thou, and probably wouldn't prove nothing to some but that's what I'm aiming at

Remember your thoughts when starting the thread regarding not having an edge,you have found you can easily make small profit on a consistent basis.
Myself,i would split in two as you will continue with both banks worth a good percentage more than the initial one.
You have shown after 28 bets that your discipline is there and you could continue in this way while building both banks together.
One bank will get you where you want to be more quickly,but the reason this is doing well imo is you show no sign of being in a hurry.

Cheers for comments, im swaying towards getting to 20 quid but dont fancy anything tonight (not going to chance a lazy selection) so will ponder over it till friday judging by tomorrows fixtures

wd footy_punter.. good luck for the remainder of ur journey..
regarding splitting your bank you can go for 9 and 3 from your total of 12.. continue on 9 with your short prize odds i.e. 1.04 and use 3 for better odds, like 1.3..

12 now FP, well done.
Caught a pearler with my last game, Indie overcame awful historical stats,a sending off,dodgy recent form and a 1-0 ht deficit to go on and win away for the first time in months.
Seems lady luck is not with me as far as this thread is concerned, but as i was using the stake from here to put a few quid aside then maybe one last go at this.[smiley:crazy]

It's getting towards that time of season where some strange results happen, I'm treading carefully and trying to get as many factors into my bets for it to lose!

Univ Catolica v Velez.Over 1.5 gls @ 1.32,
Cannot fathom the high odds for this score,Over 2.5 also ridiculous at 2.02.

, maybe have god on their side,but couldnt overcome the handicap of me getting involved
That is me done for this season,(sorry layers)the annual £50 is with them again.
Back in september with a plan,find two confident bets such as last night and join the layers
Good luck with this FP.

Difficult game to weigh up tonight Liverpool got few players out, city can be very defensive away from home and have a poor record against them. Was going on under 5.5 goals at same price, but feel there's more chance of that happening than one person scoring 3 imvho
Great thread FP. That Andy Carroll substitution and standing ovation can't come soon enough!!
Your right! Wasn't one of my better selection's! But don't think noone could have forcasted a first half like that!
Onwards to bet 40!

Leaving champions league games alone , both games could go either way, result and goal wise.
Nothing stands out in english leagues either, as we now go into the period of season where you can get some very strange results,as teams at bottom now find new resolve and dig out some results.

St Johnstone keep it tight at home, be surprised if Celtic score 3 let alone one player scoring 3

Hi there,
Anyone know the what or who about the 2% on betfair that make money? They say, or that's what I have read that only 2% of betfair patrons actually make money. That sounds bad....but 2 out of every hundred is still alot of people making money. Think about it? Anyway who are they and how do they do it, that's what I would like to know?

very lucky there footy_punter.. celtic was 4-0 and stoke game was 5-0... hopefully the next few bets will be easier on the nerves..
what happened to your plan of splitting banks??? you should do it to protect from going bust...

Yes true, wasnt overly worried about celtic game as goals come late like i thought they would and was on over 6.5 goals, thought the stoke game was going to do me at half time, and was watching game if an early 2nd half goal i was going to trade out for a loss
Hopefully if tonights bet wins it will take me over 20 quid so will be looking to split bets there after, as im now definately in a losing bet due terroritary!
