paulme, why r u finding this so tedious,u shud be happy u r making profits.. u sound like u want to go back to your win someday - lose someday time... stay focussed and keep ur mental state stable and happy....  u will have plenty of time to sigh / moan on days when things dot go your way,so use this time positively

hows the horses going paul?

ok ocean do you know how to automate such things?

http://forum.bdp.betfair.com/

thats where you can find them

ok ocean do you know how to automate such things?

I am running some automate scripts but without much luck until now ... in fact it is not difficult to put smth like that in place if you have a clear idea of the strategy to follow ... the most difficult thing is to find "the edge"

starting bank was 100 really. profits 0. 100s/1000s down last few months.

since i lost £850 on maunsells duke horse to place on 1st august i'm as follows:

-130 betting
+160 summer points bonus

master gambler i am not.
hours and hours spent on here too and all i get is grief of most when im obv struggling and just trying to learn.. *sigh*

dont think many people on here are doing much better though except undern.

nice £12 win on rafa tonite backing him to win set 2 when 2-5 down

If you punted £850 on a race type ...on a fav to place in IRELAND, then clearly, unless you have a HUGE BANK and edge, you will lose TIME after TIME with such "bad bets".

Little value in odds.....and high risk race to compound the low odds!

Ever asked yourself WHY DID I BET ON THE ABOVE RACE ???........

We all can have "rushes of blood" on daft bets....... but the amount risked on such bets will determine whether your bank survives or not. I did "daft" LAY bet yesterday in race type I should avoid, without deep analysis work on race and took a big HIT! Almost 20% of small bank was HIT by such a daft bet.......Luckily I have sufficient "edges" to enable me to turn that loss around.......However, controlling "DAFT BETS" by NOT DOING EM........is what you have to do , as ,even with having an "edge", it is extremely hard to recover big HITS on small bank....or large bank!

You still have not said why you bet on USA races......?

Keep the discipline P...GL

paulo , 850 quid wtf. remember that thing i said to u , u given up on that?
also maybe set limits to the amount u can bet man , unless 850 isnt a lot to u.

paulme, where on earth do you get the money from to lose 100's/1000's in the last few months from?

It was a DAFT lay ...as was unraced horse from CLASS trainer.....against a fav that only finished 3rd first time out....and the others who had nothing particularly strong in their race results!

The NON-RUNNER was one I thought had a good chance in that race against "poor" horses"....other than the CECIL one.

I rushed the decision to lay CECIL's one.....as had a VISITOR ...and was constantly being distracted ......CERTAINLY MY STAKING WAS FAR TOO MUCH FOR A LAY IN SAME AGE RACE......where young horses that can improve etc etc SO THAT IS MY "EXCUSE"

LOL LB

not have the patience , sorry
