In all seriousness .... I have had some bad news involving a family member. Will start this challenge some other time.

Report undern • March 1, 2014 3:59 PM GMT

Back today after some family issues to deal with .... sadly relatives seem to be dropping like flies.

Still have a few things to attend to and need to spend time with my wife so will look to start this challenge once I am settled and ready to get back into it .... hope everyones betting is going well.

Report undern • March 26, 2014 11:43 AM GMT

After a difficult few weeks finally back .... ready to get this challenge going. Will start from scratch so the challenge outline is as follows:

Starting Bank: £1K
Target: £100K
Markets: Mainly horses and greyhounds
Withdrawals: Will withdraw £100 each day (will reflect this in the daily update).

Will try and be sensible and not bet on anything and everything but naturally I can't promise this

. I will be looking to spend less time on here though.

Official starting time: 11.15am 26th March 2014

Tired and busy most of the day tomorrow .... will update fully sometime tomorrow. Wasted money on the tennis ... and could of had a nice win in the Liverpool match but not to be. At least it was a profitable day ...

GL. rely on yourself and not your bot.

Do not contribute to the Australian economy and you should do fine.

Walk away on a good note even if you see an opportunity coming up.

Challenge Update:
Well like I said last night .... a profitable day but again (like always) getting caught betting on certain markets I shouldn't be ... tennis in this case. Side note: Today's betting (27th March) ... also involved betting on things I shouldn't only to be kept alive by a big low odds lay in a US horse race ... someone loves me up there

Challenge Update:
Played a bit this morning but on the whole was gone for most of the morning ... got back and played and played some more ... all going quite well until I got caught thinking Ned was going beat SA in the T20 inrunning (I did have green up bets set but not triggered)not to mention my lay of England

and then had this notion that Sharapova was going to run away with the match in the tennis .... yep lost again. Played some more and all hope was lost until I layed heavily a low odds fav in the USA horses (if it had lost I would the bank would have been £700) ... but thankfully it lost and hence I am back to a profitable day. Time for Arrow and recorded Revolution me thinks

.... anything to keep me away from the greyhound TV racing which I love ...

The bots still exist ... if I had left them alone I would be around £87 in profit today.

Challenge Update:
To say it was a tough day ... would be spot on. Keep betting on markets I shouldn't be like the cricket (and not greening up quickly enough). Simply have to keep pushing when I know I shouldn't ... thank god for some greyhound TV racing and a low odds ir lay tonight to get me in profit .... NCIS I think would be the best option ....

Well woke up ... grabbed a coffee, checked my emails and then (as I should have learnt by now) .... come Saturday's lots more favs lose in the horse racing. Layed (ir I did dare) a fav ir (2yrs old won LTO) to win £100 (layed around 1.72) .... now I could keep playing or spend time setting up some bots for later. Come on Undern do the right thing ...

So far been a good day ... haven't played (too) much and TBH haven't felt like it either ... either tiredness or me being sensible. Who knows

... got a bet on the England T20 match ... won a bit of a couple of horse races with one being a very nice low odds ip win. Got a couple more horse race bot bets to go ... winning a small amount in the MU football game while still weighing up whether to get involved in the Cardiff City game ....

Challenge Update:
Been a good solid day .... nearly got everything right ... and a good increase to the challenge bank. One important thing is that I didn't feel the need to play anything and everything. Busy again tomorrow so will set up the bots (had 3 of them running today although most greyhound selections were filtered out) and see how it plays out.

Report SHAPESHIFTER • March 30, 2014 11:54 AM BST

Sober or not, why play every day?

If I knew I had a 100K pay packet coming, would I rush?

Infact, do you realize with a starting bank of £1,000 and increase 6% a day, you'll be done in 80 days? So what is the rush?

When you hit 2,400, you were way ahead of schedule and can slow down.

So why not stay sane? Set the gain and stop losses.

If you hit 8% gains, you are done.

If at any time the bank rolls back 5%, you stop.

For Stop Loss, it is in 'real time'. Thus, if you have 2,000 at the start of your day and gain 7% to 2,140, if you go back to 2040, you LOST 5% and it is time to walk away. It does not mean if you go to 1,900 at that point.

Translated, it means you will never loose more than 5% and all that does is add an additional day to your target.

It means you have to tinker with your exposure on your betting and bots rather than betting more events.

But ask yourself, what is the rush?

Roll on the marathon versus a sprint analogy.....

About time I updated the challenge .... not pleasant reading at all. Everytime I do something stupid I decide the quickest way to get back quickly is to take on any short priced runner/team I can ... which made it even worse. What a terrible mess .... the only saving grace is that I did very well yesterday (will update next) .... if only I could get it into my head slow and steady rather than up and down like a sine wave is the better option ....

undern, you were up £320.00. You need to create a plan rather than 'just bet'. You need an EXIT on the day when you are up.

Walk away early a winner on the day. Enjoy the fresh air and rest your eyes from the pixels.

.... Hopefully I can move forward rather than give it all back ...

Why not quit for the day £300 up? I got dinged in-running today (horse went to 1000, I didn't close the lay, three fallers and it won!) and rather than attack the loss, continued and made back 20% of it over the afternoon AND tonight on football.

Funny enough Shapeshifter .... I layed the exact same horse .... had to rush out somewhere. Watched it until it hit high odds ... saw that it was coming 4th and falling back so took off out of the house only to return not realising what had happened ....

A profitable day with a few downs along the way - been out tonight ... nice win on over 1.5 goals ip on the MU footy game. Will play a bit tomorrow morning but I have some work to get on with and also out most of afternoon ....

Based on 1700, you are now 3 days ahead of completing this in 80 days (based on 6% a day)

To achieve this, you could have done this by doing the following;

day 1 - 60
2 - 63
3 - 68
4 - 72
5 - 75
6 - 80
7 - 85
8 - 90
9 - 95
10 - 100

If you made just 110 today, you are still on target for 77 days.

Or, you could make slightly less, bank it and still be on schedule for 80.

Best analogy....tortoise and the hare

Report undern • April 2, 2014 12:07 PM BST

I understand where you are coming from however the problem is when the staking gets higher and higher (which I don't tend to handle too well) and things like the greyhound markets for my bot (seems to be filtering lots of selections out recently) don't have the volume for me to put much more on ... anyway lets see how I get on ....

currently today is as follows:

Aussie: Greyhound Racing: £81.57 | Horse Racing: -£9.32 Total P&L: £72.25

UK: Horse Racing: £110.82 Total P&L: £110.82

Played a bit last night on the USA racing ... so easy sometimes and other times so bloody hard. Out soon for early arvo. Bots set up but doubt there will be many bets due to filtering.

Report SHAPESHIFTER • April 2, 2014 12:25 PM BST

U.S. horse racing a mindfield for bots. Those who use exchanges are aware of them and take advantage. Will push in prices with very little money to push out markets on others. Real money is coast to coast and what is 12/1 on betfair will be pushed to 19/1 with small bets when they know the money is going to come to offices and push it to 5/1 while the odds react slowly.

They laugh with cigars in hand, their gold chains jiggling.

The only way to make money on U.S. is to look for value in form.

All the above told to me by a pro in the states.

Report undern • April 2, 2014 12:39 PM BST

Well the bad news or is it good news

... a phone call a second ago completely wiped out what I was supposed to be doing this afternoon ... so guess I will stick around in the office and play on the computer all day .... I will be sensible and be patient with my betting ....

The bots I use are one for greyhound (UK), two for horses (UK) .... all the other betting is done without a bot simply by me. Some markets I use common-sense, other markets I use certain "trigger" points be it odds movements and/or specific patterns in a runners times/LTO results and how I think the race will pan out. Other markets are pure "intelligent" guess work

.... hey I even think something will happen and deliberately bet on the opposite happening

Been playing with a bit too heavy stakes this arvo ... and thought best to update now. May set up the greyhound bot for some of the TV racing or perhaps not bother .... feel a bit "loose" with my betting so best to not push it .... so close to getting a nice trade profit on the Melbourne footy game earlier but ended up with a loss. Think that miss in turning a profit threw my thought patterns out a bit today ....

Well there you go what an exciting day .... just got back in as I have been out most of later arvo/evening. Some very nice wins ... and probably good that I wasn't around later on to mess it all up. Got back and noticed one disappointment - one of my bot horse lays went down ... although probably lucky that I wasn't here to bet some more on it.

I do fully realise days like today aren't the norm .. and on some occasions I have been going in too heavy. I will be trying my hardest over the next day or two to say in control and not get carried away.

Up late last night so bit tired this morning ... apart from a nice bet late last night before I went to bed haven't bet anything this morning. Looking back at some of the bets from yesterday ... well indeed lots of the larger wins (apart from a nice place bet win) is really down to taking on low odds favs or putting in a lay ir at low odds ... I know I can't "blindly" continue with taking on low odds favs ....

Report undern • April 4, 2014 10:02 AM BST

Nothing like say I am going to do something and then turn around and bet a bit too wildly ... actually took on a tipsters Aussie selections and duely lost (I don't normally do it but just discovered the selections and thought why not) .... only to break yesterday's biggest win on a lay of a Aussie horse race ... in total would have been around £1000 down this morning but the bet came in ... fortunately the horse missed the start and I ended up winning.

... and yes I know I can't go on doing this.

I understand where you are coming from however the problem is when the staking gets higher and higher (which I don't tend to handle too well) and things like the greyhound markets for my bot (seems to be filtering lots of selections out recently) don't have the volume for me to put much more on ... anyway lets see how I get on ....

I took this on board and looked at my approach that uses betfair and other sources to hit my targets during the month. I aim to make so much per 'session' here and elsewhere. The math then targets the number of times I have to focus to hit my mark for the month. Right now, I need 17 (today could be two, afternoon and evening, weekends I try to avoid).

So when I ponder the 'bigger targets'., like yourself, I know what you are talking about - the mounting numbers.

So, my brain looked at taking it in the opposite direction and we'll have to see how it evolves but the basis would be to have a target of 8% in the begining that is REDUCED every 10/12 targets.

So by the time you get to around 80 targets/sessions, your target for the next 20 is around a 1% increase.

More importantly, a stop loss of 5% that is live (i.e. gain 3%, loose 5% you stop, NOT 5% of the start of the day) will keep one sane.

Hey Shapeshifter ... just had two hours sleep and am soooo tired ... just traded the Women's T20 cricket game to make a nice profit (well to cover some of my ups and downs from last night ... while watching the triathlon racing) ..... will have a look in a second.

So I remember on your last challenge, Greyhounds in Australia were your undoing

So far, no profit or loss. So why continue? Not worth the investment.

Cricket, as well, you can't grip onto so pass on that.

Challenge Update:
Next time I get two hours sleep ... remind myself that I shouldn't do too much betting. Some very loose betting. Might need to stop all this "big" betting and go back to trying to win much smaller amounts otherwise I will quickly find myself heading further backwards .... oh well it was fun while it lasted.

SavineIsGOAT is saying something that should be obvious if you look at your old threads.

There are factors that causing you to swim in circles.

The dogs: I can only go by what I see and that is you have never made money on dogs. It gives you a 'fix' of a good day then goes nasty on you. "But I love the dogs". Well, I love NHL hockey but rarely bet on a sport that involves a 3 inch rubber disc that is played on ice by men on skates.

No stop loss: You are aloud to have a losing day. But 30%????? or more????? You need to value your gains. You need to say 'well done' and then focus on keeping that money.

Now, look at the positives:

After 13 days, you have averaged a gain of 11% a day.

You won't be able to sustain that. So don't try.

Try the live stop loss. From bet to bet, whether it be five in on the day or fifteen, if the live stop loss (start + gains) times 5%) goes below 5%, walk away from THAT sport. Clear your head then take on the next (i.e. horses in the afternoon, football in the evening).

Try it for ten days - No dogs and stop loss. Do the horses, do the football, enjoy life in between.

If you can't walk away with a loss on the day, you certainly won't be able to walk away with a profit.

Thanks for the comments and advice. I'm afraid right or wrong I like to do these challenges in my own way .... however I do hope to alter my mind-set to ensure I at least give this challenge a good shake. I think what you mention in the last line bears true ....

I have changed recently what I look at for the Aussie greyhound racing .... and this effectively has nearly wiped out this challenge (certainly this morning has been horrendous) ..... one thing I do do wrong (one of many) is using certain factors to filter out (mainly) lay selections so what I do occasionally is select other lays to bet on when I should be leaving them alone ....

Another car-wreck start to the day ..... might have to go back to my original aim which was to win £100 per day ....

Report SHAPESHIFTER • April 8, 2014 12:23 PM BST

"No bet" is often the best bet in a race.

i.e. today:
330 Honoured I have ranked by 4 lengths over the fave and clear of the 2F. At an EW price *BUT* two years since it has run 2 miles. So no bet because of the question mark and not switching to the fave who I think will get beaten.

-----

Fair enough on wanting to do it your own way. But, as mentioned, your bot and dogs are not working for you. They are working against you, essentially causing you to swim against the current.

Your sub-challenge is to try to make your bots work on greyhounds rather than focusing on where you are doing well.

Whether it be this challenge or any aspect of life, time to refocus your energy.

Best of luck.

Report DFCIRONMAN • April 8, 2014 1:37 PM BST

undern- Your "way" will not "work".

You are still doing so many things "wrong" that how can you expect your way to "work"?

It was clear to me when I posted -

DFCIRONMAN 27 Mar 14 23:37
Allowance Optional Claiming .......A race type with same age horses on DIRT in USA .....and you risk major chunk of bank on it......Does not auger well UD.

and from posts on the thread to date, as well as all the other threads, you appear not to have learned much from your ups and downs.

As soon as your bank fluctuates down to just over £300 from larger amount, or jumps with huge increases, it is again clear that you are still not operating with enough control.

I think you do have ability in certain sports areas ....but you cannot be spending enough time analysing an event, especially HORSE RACING where there are so many factors relevant from race to race and you must know what races you have an edge in.

I just get the feeling you take on a favourite without much analysis on that race, and your STAKING tends to increase after a HIT.

Football betting appears you increase STAKING hugely after a HIT.......and FOOTBALL is a more volatile area of betting where many believe they have an edge....but in reality they don't. It is a dangerous area to bet the way you do after a HIT...............especially after a long day spent on betting.

I used to take on EVERY RACE type in BRITAIN with horse racing.......to learn from so doing......I believe , based on thorough analysis of ratings and results, that I would find betting strategies that "work" . It has taken me years to do this and there is no doubt that I have proved my "system" of ratings combined with various strategies "worked" in past ......and should still "work". Unfortunately personal circumstances, bereavement, ill health and current circumstances( carer), have stopped me proceeding the way I need to proceed...........Energy levels not enough to operate to level I need to operate to.

Horse racing is a sport where "skill"/ "edges" do exist...............greyhound racing ( far fewer runners) is more of a lottery....but never had ANY interest in such sport and no little about it.

Do you know where you truly have "edges" that you know how to exploit with betting strategies? The number of sports areas you are taking on indicates you are operating like an addict...........triathlon etc You really need to concentrate on your definite edges and only bet when you have VALUE.

CHASING IS THERE EVERY DAY ALMOST... so you will have ups and downs with such bets......and until you start exercising proper control... cut down on events taken on ...and structure you betting day.......there is no way you will avoid losing your bank.

Your way just will not "work" undern..................Hoping you stop and rethink what you are doing....as so many things done badly for you to succeed.

Well I have certainly done enough damage this morning to effectively start again

... while I had fun this morning yep agree with all that with the little things I do do well I certainly stuff up in many ways .....

While I "see" what I need to do .... controlled staking, stop/loss limits, keep to what I think are my "edges" .... avoid too much betting, certain markets, chasing etc ... accept losses and appreciate that it is a long term challenge.

I need to stop having "fun" taking on some low odds favs (it is not part of my perceived edges just like doing it

) and one big thing is if I do have a losing run stop thinking about how big the challenge bank was a few days back etc .... and focus on the day at hand.

I actually "like" betting to win £12.50 ... don't ask me why .... and if you check out all my challenge threads you will see lots of these in there. These smaller bets can quickly add up so I do fail to understand why I can't keep to these. I guess the "rush" of winning/losing and the unknown is why I go a bit wild.

DFC - I think my greyhound bot is worth sticking with - it is simply my added betting which is wrecking it all.

Quick stat - the greyhound bot since the start of this challenge has the following:

The bet is £125 lay bet.
Selections: 28
Avg. Odds: 4.8
Profit: £462
Profit per selection: £16.30

.... I hope I am able to stick around for another day with this challenge.

DFC/Shapeshifter - sorry for those greyhound bot stats the first say 12 bets were outlays of £100 not £125 ... that is playing morning and arvo only.

2010/2011 tax year, one of my businesses beat all trends in the sector.
2011/2012, a lot investment and time put in to ramp it up.
The books showed little profit for the investment of both money and time.

I shut it down in November 2012 after eight years.

If I had shut it down eight months earlier, I would have saved thousands.

Rereading all my notes, all the numbers, all the clues were there. I was just too focused on keeping the team together, keeping relationships going with clients.

Sometimes simply reading what you type gives the clues. But what you do with the clues is another thing.

Challenge Update:
The figures say it all ... nothing like a "rocky road" challenge. Things are going to change as while I enjoy betting on anything and everything clearly there is too many ups and downs .... which ultimately means a final down and silence until I start another challenge

I have lots of notes on spreadsheets (which I return to occasionally and re-write etc) which I use to establish the bots and pointers for some of the markets I bet on ..... well I mean the bets I sensibly place .....

Anyway .... so looking to start off with a controlled frame of mind. Played the Aussie markets this morning and have been doing quite well. I then switch over to the UK greyhound markets (and while setting up the bot) I played one greyhound race and lost and then turn back to Aussie race to win a bit back .... turned to next UK greyhound race and layed todays profit (around £150 at that stage) on a fav (which I thought would get beat) and duely lost the bet ....

Disgusted with myself for letting go of the £230 or profit I had built up from the Aussie racing ... I turned and layed a big Aussie greyhound fav (around 1.55) for £250 .... so will either win a lot or be down £250 for the day ....

.... yep it ended up losing so I won a lot ..... yep another merry go-round morning which I need to stop doing.

Report undern • April 9, 2014 12:37 PM BST

For **** sake ... the bot has layed 3 winners in a row (and yes I did put more on them as well) ..... the day after I mention how well the greyhound bot is going it turns around and bites on the back-side ..... must admit I am just about sick of betting full stop .....

Report DFCIRONMAN • April 9, 2014 1:18 PM BST

SHAPESHIFTER'S point re stopping dog betting seems sensible to me.

Small number of dogs in a race, but a less reliable sport IMO to bet on makes it a lottery.

As you will get returns more frequently, due to small number of runners in race, you will get a "high" often from wins. So you "feel" you are good at betting on this sport due to getting returns more frequently. Whether you have an "edge" or "edges" on sport will be down to the profit made.....and from SHAPESHIFTER'S observations it just is not worth doing.

As the dogs start early am UK time, if you take a big HIT early....then your CHASE mentality is more likely to kick in. It was the impression I got from just looking at your results now and then.

The expression....you are "going to the dogs"...........probably reflects how you are betting! Not trying to be mean.....just trying to be factual re how you have been betting on the challenges.
You took 5 HITS yesterday from first 9 races on dogs UK.....and the amounts lost were generally increasing. How can taking such HITS help your mentality , [b]before UK racing starts,when coming down to betting on HORSERACING?[/b]

Thorough rethink needed undern......I agree with S that dogs should be binned!( Of course you will get days where the HITS don't come so frequently......but that is more down to LUCK than any edge you believe you have with dogs IMO. The nature of dog races ( small fields) will appeal more to a "compulsive gambler" than a professional gambler .

I suspect the USA HORSE RACING fits close to DOG RACING re being more likely to appeal to "compulsive gamblers" due to frequency of races and many small field races......and you can see how you are getting numerous HITs when CHASE mentality kicks in.

Please stop and rethink what you are doing wrongly.

GL on stopping. May take 2/3 years analysing your bets before you know what really works for you and what does not!

I posted this at the end of your last challenge.

"It was over on the 23rd when you lost £1300. Your mind completely went and you became a chaseaholic. Ironically if you had taken a step back and said hey look i've made 50% of my bank in 2 weeks you should have been pretty pleased with yourself, but you concentrated on what you had lost rather than the bigger overall picture.

All of your challenges seem to go the same way, you have a day where you have a big loss and then a few days later you've blown it all and challenge over. If you bet such volumes that you can make 50%+ of your bank in one day you have to be able to accept that you will have days where you can blow 50%+ of your bank. It's not bad discipline or bad betting is just chance. Until you can accept those losses and bet the next day exactly the same whether you've had a 50% loss or a 10% gain then it is less than likely that you will succeed."

Looks like exactly the same has happened again here. Ask yourself "would I have bet in exactly the same way from the 8th onwards if I had just made £250 each day from the 1st to the 7th April".

It is, especially if you can do it in thre to four hours.

Not many 'small businesses' can start with a £1,000 and generate that sort of income after two to three weeks.

But no one seems to grasp that.

Undern even mentions that £12.50 gains can add up. You're right. 8 plays the entire day scores the 100.

But it is having the discipline of finding the 'right 8 plays' or having the awareness to ramp down until the right play comes.

Whether posted on here or on their own, people set out with 'goals' for their challenges. But no one follows any guidelines (perhaps myself included). And no one learns on the short term.

More importantly, money aside, one has to value their time which I personally believe is a valuable commodity, one that goes beyond wage and earnings.

One also has to learn that the strategies and approaches in business are different from when it goes from the opening with 1,000 to 5,000.

I also wonder if part of the problem is when one makes quick gains. And because the balance was larger, one does not see the problems (I went through this with my business). In this case, I sincerely believe the dogs not only ate the gains but distracted the focus on where abilities could have lead to a steady income stream.

Must admit I am still bit disappointed in myself for letting this one (like other challenges) get out of hand ...... especially when I do focus I could make £100 or so per day not easily but using a controlled manner ... which would be fine for doing this type of challenge ... I simply keep pushing and pushing ... rather than wait for betting opps to come to me.

Oh well like someone once told me ... "it is what it is" ... might start a mini-challenge say £300 to £3K ... to use as a practice on keeping tighter control. Not sure yet.

Undern, just to echo what a few others have already said, 100 pounds/euro a day would be a nice little income

Plus if you could keep that steady amount coming in every day, which you have proven you can do quite easily, then you could always up the anti to 200 per day further down the road (if you so wished). Surely that must be better than trying for 1000+ sporadically and then a complete loss of whole bank roll?

Anyways Undern, unlucky on the latest challenge, would be great to see you back BUT aiming for smaller constant profits, rather than huge profits followed by a huge loss. GL mate.
