100K challenge

However, here are my results of the first two days. Continuing like this will end up in a disaster, but I'm awear of that :)

Horse Racing: €462.08 | Soccer: -€113.44 | Tennis: €1,612.58  Total P&L:  €1,961.22

I placed a €150 multiple bet that I lost (thanks Almagro!), so profit at the moment is €1,811.22.

Target today is €138.85

bad start on day 3 :(:( had some small wins on the horses when I lost €166.
just covered it again with some small wins, when I checked the football bet I placed. khimki penalty in 93' hurt me bigtime...

Horse Racing: €0.79 | Soccer: -€1,028.40  Total P&L:  -€1,027.61

the fact that I had a +€1800 profit in the first two days helps to town down the loss.
chasing would be stupid. will start again to make my €138.85 target of today to keep focus and forget about the 1K loss

what happened to this challenge.

Any update on this challenge nicholasdc ....

When I started my challenge with the same starting bank I set about trying to win £6 per horse race so I hope you don't bust your bank too quickly.

All the best with it.

rough day yesterday. lost way too big on tennis. bank -€876.82
without my tennis bets I would still be in profit, so think I won't touch any tennis anymore as I always get swept away


Horse Racing: -€134.66 | Soccer: €257.32 | Tennis: -€1,306.64  Total P&L:  -€1,183.98

why do I keep doing this?

won 500 on football and horses, start looking at the monfils game when he was behind in the set. backed him at 2 for 200, lay at 1.4, he breaks back everything great.
then when he breaks again I decide to back him as set 1 winner for 1.2K and once more it blows up in my face

I have 400 left from the 2K I deposited. without tennis I would be up for about 600. I hate myself at this point

if monfils wins I will have 500

Your betting appears to be somewhat kamikaze nicholas!

"To make this plan work I will need to tighten my game a lot."

Simply not happening.

What a silly thread

You got lucky on the previous day, you took a heavy loss on the horses and it looks as though you chased you losses by lumping on the Lopez/Bogomolov match.  Stop looking for quick gains, slow down and show patience.  Id encourage you to take a break, you probably feel like you need to get that money back quickly which could only lead to more bad decisions.

thanks coolhand, you are totally right. I will try and get my act together although it's not easy

No, it's not easy. However, at the moment your betting is so totally out of control that you have absolutely no chance of being successful unless you fix your problems quickly. It's clear you don't seem to be able to stop yourself from taking bets that you know you shouldn't be taking.  I really don't know how to advise you on how to stop yourself touching tennis bets (although the tennis season will shortly be drawing to a close for a few weeks, so that little problem should take care of itself for a short period).

I would suggest you take out all but about £50 of the money you have left and try and bet with it as carefully as you can. Perhaps open up a Moneybookers account or something and then set the deposit limits so that you can only move £50 or so into your Betfair account each day. That should make you treat your money with greater care. The first thing you've got to do is to condition yourself not to take stupid bets.  And if you are taking stupid bets, you need to be risking as little money as possible.
