iv been betting for a while with some success and some loss.  i tend to loose through silly decisions when iv been online for too long.  i like trying the different challenges people put up like the             1.1 73 bets 10 - 10k challenge      or the         over/under6.5 challenge       but i end up trying to get too many bets on.  inevitably betting constantly i make bad choices and loose. 

with that in mind im starting again with my £10 pot ( im no high roller).  my aim is to make a maximum of 3 bets per day, but will not bet some days due to work etc.  the 3 bets per day will consist of a bet of around 1.1(as i enjoyed that challenge) a over/under bet on a goal market, and a lay bet.  The lay will generally be on football but not always. 

anyway...i started last night with 2 bets.  i will try and post the rest as i make them. 

if you dont want to follow the thread please dont, but also please dont slate it as im mainly posting to help me stay strict.  if anyone wants to follow it and comment on bets i make or if doing somethig similar then please do...i like reading other peoples bets.

cheers all

I think the issue here is you are just too lose with your bets and will always end up a looser.

yes you are right.  hopefully i can tighten up by limiting bets.  although this looks a bit of a silly one...it may still pay off.  fingers crossed lol

What is it with that word nowadays? We had a leaflet through our door the other days for a gym, proudly telling us that they would help us LOOSE POUNDS!!

I think that probably the majority of people under 30 - the OP is presumably 27 - make the mistake.

When BBC news presenters say 'somethink and nothink' they should be sacked. Annoys the fk out of me too

It is stunning. Everyone on Betfair has lost money at one point or another, but about 50% of them don't know how to spell the fcuking word!

It is "lose" and NOT "loose".

lol epic fail.

and now i get the spelling thing.  ah well.  im gonna leave it a while and try again. 

vis...what is your theory behind a larger starting pot...it shouldnt matter about the size of my pot if i bet strictly...my problem is i dont keep my bets to what i have some knowledge of.  knowing that i should be able to alter it.
