My Challenge ...

Well time flies by .... my last £100K challenge got up to around the £34K mark with lots of up and down days. I ended my focus on that a little while back but still have the greyhound bot running along nicely. However having come back from holidays recently I have just dropped nearly £9K over the last two days

. Which to be honest I didn't enjoy one bit.

Time me thinks to go back and try a new challenge which I will end as and when I so choose. Heck it may not even survive the end of today ....

I will start with a £1K bank and bet on anything and everything. If I lose it all no problem I might start again or simply carry on in my own time

Now I don't want people coming on here telling me what I should or should not be doing as at the end of the day it is my money ... win, lose or draw. Remember this thread is to keep me interested in my time on BF not for others to follow

are you using your 'gut' to determine the amount you laying each for?

Report undern • July 16, 2012 1:55 PM BST

Yes ... I like to vary it based on current bank, how well previous bets have gone, yep and even gut feeling etc. I have tried strict % liability but hard to stick with ....

For instance that last one was to win £25 ....

.. although saying that I do have rough paramters I work with when it comes to liability ranges vs odds (and even certain markets etc). My heavy loss over the weekend was mainly some poor betting on the horse racing so defn won't be over-doing it in that market ....

Bit disappointed with this one tbh - could just tell by the way the odds moved that this
horse was going to do (much) better than its last couple of runs ....

Also this is the hard part ... when you start losing bet after bet and suddenly find yourself going backwards from the high point earlier on ....

Either worn myself out today or getting sick of my challenge already

.... in any case lumped on over 0.5 goals @ 1.40 for the whole current bank of £1622 in the Benfica football match .... might get some work done and come back either a winner or simply declare it the end of the challenge
