Quite. My best month turned into a red month. Darlo, we were both right. I've had an absolute disaster of a day....worst in my betfair history and Jans gonna end up a red month!!! On Jan 10th, i was +1109 At the start of play today, Jan 20th i was up to +1767 Then today.... Soccer: -£2,212.70 | Tote: | Total P&L: -£2,212.70 Soccer Showing 1 - 6 of 6 markets Market Start time Settled date Profit/loss (£) Soccer / Valencia v Real Madrid : 13.02 Soccer / Atl Madrid v Levante : 5.34 Soccer / Tottenham v Man Utd : -1,111.00 Soccer / Chelsea v Arsenal : -400.76 Soccer / Alemannia Aachen v B Munich : -444.01 Soccer / Chelsea v Arsenal : -275.29 and another -487.59 to come from the crazy Madrid game. Leaving me on -932.75 for January. Not the end of the world but infuriating after 19 solid days! Today comes along and i well and truly lose my head after a couple of early goals in the Chelsea game and then proceed fcuk everything up instead of just accepting a relatively small loss. A great example of what happens when you chase and how you can p*ss away a good months profits if ever there was one. Always learning or at least trying to!!! |

I feel for you Gazza. That looks exactly like what happened to me last September. I managed to lose the best part of a month's profit in three days. And the losses were confined to one football match - overstaking - and a few horse races - chasing, chasing and then more chasing.
As long as you learn from it, then I hope you recover. Best of luck mate. |

Thanks for the kind and encouraging words Darlo. Hopefully i will learn from this and make a recovery of sorts. In the past year i've had 3 similar weeks where i've lost over 1k but then instead of chasing or losing my head even further, i've then proceeded to tighten up and make a decent profit for several weeks in a row and recover my losses. But this week, i just kept going and going and ended up in a very dark hole!!!
Its only my 2nd losing week in the last 16 so i cant really feel to sorry for myself i guess but the sheer size of the loss (- £2830 on the day, -£2312 for the week) has made a massive dent in my profits and so i'm feeling the pain. Hopefully enough for me to think twice before not just accepting a small red and then chasing, chasing and chasing some more!! Its hard to make money on here but very easy to lose it. I need to try and remember this more when a trade goes against me. I know its easy to say after the events but a £400 loss sparked a loss of £2800. I could have stopped with the £400 loss and still bin in a nice postion for the month but by bin stupid and greedy i end up with a minus month. Just when you think you've learnt lessons from the past, you get bitten on the arse, ha!!! I take it you made a full recovery from your mishap in September??? |
