Impossible to last til June betting 30%+ of your bank

I know, I will make the necessary adjustments as I go along.

If lasting til June without having to deposit more was really your priority you would have been staking  small % from the start.

I think you just want to win big now and are prepared to risk being wiped out.

Overstaking had got you a great profit (could easily have been £0.00 available if a couple of bets had gone the other way) but i suggest you should have a sensible limit from now on.

Carry on staking huge % and maybe you might get to 2K soon but you will be sure to be Zero not long after.

We'll see. Appreciate the advice, even though I already know all of this (been doing this for a while, somewhat successfully). Still, I maintain that the priority is to last to June without depositing as opposed to winning big now. Although I agree that some of my stakes so far are a bit over the top - if you look at my bets, only bet 1, 2, 6 and 17 would have brough me to less than what I started with, which is obviously down to a good.

I like to think that it isn't luck if you're able to do it consistently.

We'll see how it goes. Anyway, again, appreicate the advice.

*a good start.

I also have to point out that all these bets are placed at a regular bookie, which is why the odds are a bit lower than on here, and also why I don't pay any commission.

I wish you luck but your staking is all over the place, it has the prints of a recreational gambler and at the risk of sounding patronising as I know you say you've doing this a while successfully but the following is good advice/comments.
