For those who make a profit (which I think is everyone on the forum) what is the average amount of profit, long-term, that you make from a single market per £100. This is based per £100 but you can go in and out of the market as much or as little as you want (trading or straight betting).
Particularly interested in football markets but can be any market really apart from the long term markets like season winner etc. Amounts would be good as everyone (i.e. me) gets confused with all this ROI stuff and other abbreviations. I understand that amounts invested can affect the average return so if you would prefer to give an answer based on if you only had £100 rather than the amount you actually use then please feel free.
Hope this makes sense. Cheers.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but if I only had £100, I would make way more per £100 than I currently do, because all the funds would be used only when the opportunities are ridiculously good.
In 2007 I made £18+ net for every £100 bet, but bet less than £6k in total. These days it would well below 50p per £100. |

Long term on match odds average less than 50pence per £100. Don't know actual figure, but taking into account loses, it probably is close to 30pence. Like TheInvestor2 said, made more per £100 on betfair in the early years (the golden years).

Cheers for the replies. The reason I ask is because I have various theories that I am looking into when games are in-play. Taking price change and probability of what will happen, i'm looking at things and they tend to offer a potential return of about £1-2 per £100.
I've been thinking well is that worth it as I don't automate or use bots but I'm also thinking that I need to wake up a bit and realise that in the grand scheme of things it's quite good. I think I need to realise that my problem is the number of games i play rather than the average return i may be able to get on each game. |

U.A. £1-£2 is what I aim for. reality for me is a little less as I described. £1 per £100 can make you a decent sum if you can turn that £100 over and over again without losing it. of course if you have a big bank then £100 may be less significant, but Its the "without losing it" bit that IMO often distinguishes the long term winners from the rest. good luck
