Why not ... another £1K to £100K challenge

Typical start ... big loss then bigger win in the tennis ...

Good luck, I enjoyed following your ups and downs when you did these before.

Challenge Update: I am not going to waste much time ... describing anything and everything with this challenge .... lets just say too many ups and downs ... but at least made a profit ...

Good luck, Undern.

Will keep an eye on it - as usual.

Good start.

Cheers s.kenbo and raspberrybottom .... just glad I am busier during the week than I used to be so I can't spend 24/7 on here

Just had a very big win on under 5.5 goals in the MC match .... always tricky when you lump on (only because today's been a good one) and when to decide to green up ... this case I did it progressively. The sensible approach but boy you can't stop thinking about how much bigger it could have been .... prob end up losing most of it on greyhounds tonight .... ... anything good on TV tonight.

Just to be clear I won't be betting as frequently as I used to ... more to life nowadays.

Challenge Update:
All I can say is boy was that a (very) good day .... but then again I have done this type of thing many times and then in one fell swoop lose it all ... so I will try and keep a 'notion' of steadiness. Might take it easier tomorrow ... and not forgetting although still around in the office I am busy doing other things during the week to hang out on BF all day. FYI - I also have a nice green (£500 or so) on the cricket match inrunning (Afg innings) which will show once settled tomorrow.

Good start to today's betting (Sunday) ..... yes I know this nice run of betting won't last or I will do my nuts and lose it all .... then I again I may end up being fairly sensible.

You are obviously trading, with very nice results, so no reason at all to think you will do your nuts.  Would be silly to risk anything if you can do that trading.

nadal had probably scratched his bum once too much, it probably caved in or something, gee sometimes his antics are amusing.

BJT - I do a mix of trading and straight out (mainly lays). I assure you and many others on here will attest to it ... I can blow these challenges apart with some heavy hitting ... usually when I am tired or simply trying to nick some easy money. Nowadays I have many other things going on in life so won't be around that much ... which probably going to be my saviour ....

Like now ... 3 big wins and then I get lazy trying to lay short odd winners for too much .... stupid.

Been out and about ... downloaded what I thought was betfair app but was only able to bet using sportsbook .... hopefully these show up in the p&l report I do. May not be able to update tonight but will do when I have the chance.

Mmm just tried to run p&l report through accounts section and it doesn't show Sportsbook bets ... anyone know which report I can run to include these ???

Nice to see a new challenge from you Undern.  I stress though, I think your best approach would be to take a sum, like £1K, and then look to make treble the profits before starting again from £1K. I reckon you'd get to the £4K often enough to make it pay handsomely. But you'd still be able to bet the way you like to, and could afford a couple of blow-outs a time and still look to come out ahead after three or four 'goes'.

Then again, perhaps you won't blow it this time?   Good luck!

I think that's a bit too safe for Undern.

It would be wise though, no matter how well off you are losing several thousand pounds in a day wouldn't be nice.

Back in again. On the laptop with poor internet speed. Will update tomorrow night. Bank up to £5996 (including the sportsbook bets). Nice win on lay Southampton, win on South Sydney and Williams in the snooker .... started with a £500 loss this morning on a greyhound race so good to recover and move on .... busy during the weekdays so sadly I can't keep betting so frequently then again it might be a good thing. cheers.

Perhaps Kenbo. He'd still get plenty of roller-coaster rides from it though, since he'd still be able to give full rein to his high-intensity  all-or-nothing betting style.

Mind you, he seems to be doing very well currently. So perhaps he's finally turned the corner....

Well, it would seem a silly rule that he needs to keep the money in Betfair.  Just take some out and keep it under 5k.  Can still keep the profit/loss running to the 100k goal.

Sounds boring Undern but....bank your original 1k and use the rest of the profit for your challenge. It a win-win situation then.

GL mate, dont get greedy and just like last year, STEER CLEAR OF THE GREYHOUNDS!

Back in ... played a bit. Did well in my cricket bet overnight while just had a very juicy lay of Dream Child (very lucky to win that one) .... contacted BF to try and work out how to run a p&l to include the sportsbook bets that I did on my mobile yesterday.

All sensible suggestions ... my plan was to withdrawal equiv. of £100 per day (I have done this in some of my past challenges). Other option is to leave say £5K in the account and simply withdraw anything above that. Otherwise withdrawal to £1K and then start again. Either way I tend to get lazy in what I do .... for instance my lay on Dream Child was too bigger a bet. So easy to try and look for the big wins rather than do bit by bit.

I will defn update just waiting on BF to advise about Sportsbook issue.

A bit scrambled but finally worked out how to download into excel the sportsbook bets. Basically I made a profit of £770. I will do a quick update but simply wanted to post up these in order to show my full betting. Even includes the free bet BF gave me because a greyhound bet the night before was settled incorrectly.

Challenge Update:
Bit tired and need to get up early tomorrow so won't spend too long on the updates. As you can see very profitable day again. The figure includes the £770 profit made from the sportsbook market (see bets above).

Just for clarity: I think the 5884 figure is around £110 short from the actual bank is. Remember I simply run p&l report based on the last bet I did (to update a particular day) to the end of that day so can make a mistake with this.

Challenge Update:
Another good day ... nice win in the England innings less than 325runs and some big up and down bets tonight. Tired and want to go to bed. Still think there is around £100 short with the updated figures to what is showing in the account but I won't worry about it now. Might do some betting tomorrow night.

Back in going to lay Bearly Legal in the delayed 16:50pm horse race

Mmmm should have stayed out ...

Nothing like blindly following someones elses suggestion ... and in the 90+ mins it comes in ... then again that is always balanced by the lumping on someones else recommendation only to go down the plug-hole ....

Challenge Update:
Right from the start of betting this afternoon I knew it wasn't "feeling" right. Then  stupidity took over before finally relying on Cardiff to let go of a winning position ... went the wrong. What they actually won a match ... it's happened before just got to step back and not go gung-ho so much. Yes I have banked most of it as this is the sensible thing to do ...

It is funny how my main "aim" is to make around £100 yet when I get a bit of a run in these challenges I simply bet more and more and bigger and bigger .... oh well off to bed me thinks.

It is ok to bet bigger as you go along, but the trick is to lessen risk as you go.

So whatever % you are risking when you start, when your bank doubles, decrease that percentage by 25%.  Say 10% at 1000, would be 7.5% at 2000, 5.6% at 4000, etc etc etc.  Stakes are still increasing allowing for more profit, but also less risk of your bankroll going bust the more you go forward.

im so excited.......undern is back

Challenge Update:
Nice win in the darts just then to cap off an interesting day .... had a bet on the cricket overnight and with a bad cold woke up v.early ... watched the cricket but also stupidly played on the Aussie markets where I lost a lot. Out all day ... but been playing tonight with some wild fluctuations and some bets simply too big... least I am heading in the right direction. Got a stinking headache ... will try not to give it all back.

Mmmmm Freddie.   But for how long....

Undern, what happened to withdrawing any money above £5K?

Challenge Update:
Been quite poorly so couldn;t be bothered updating last night. Still going okay but I am fully aware I could crash and burn with some of the bets that I place .... at least bets are sensible. One thing though I had a big bet on Bayern Munich match on under 2.5 goals just after they went 2-0 up very quickly. Almost greened up to next a very nice green (would have been around £2500) but sadly and unbelievably the other team scored so busted the bet ...

I meant to say "at least SOME bets are sensible"

Mmm ... this morning hasn't been very good at all .... lost a lot

You're far too reckless Undern, I fear it'll all be gone today. I hope not. Good luck.

To be fair, anyone who can octuple their money in just a week has to be reckless. It looks hugely impressive, but these challenges have always done so bu then have always come down like a pack of cards.

Agreed DB, when you're winning like Udern was then you're a genius, when it all falls to pieces you're a mug.

He reminds me of a poker player who plays a short stack better than he does a large stack. Which is why he needs to bank some money when he gets to a certain amount and start again imo.

He's a likeable and honest bloke and I do wish him the best of luck.

Yep us Aussies are a likeable lot ...

Yep I did lose a lot on the cricket ... (if I was watching I would have traded towards the end) .... lost a lot on one of the Aussie football matches trying to get a big win on under goals markets .... yet they kept scoring .... then lost some more on the West Ham game .... trying not to lose too much this afternoon in the rugby.

Give an update :) - Im following this.

Yep I did lose a lot on the cricket ...

I just knew. I was listening to it this morning, and my first thought was that this could be the end of this challenge.

Not the end of the challeneg Darlo ... lost £1400 in the cricket and a lot more in the Aussie footy. Was down to around the £5K mark.

Lets just say my lay of Scotland has helped me get back into this challenge ...

... and despite doing some greening up in the Fed tennis match ... touch wood .... Fed will get me ahead ...

I will update fully later ... this is today's current p&l.

Aussie: Cricket: -£1,438.00 | Greyhound Racing: -£273.99 | Horse Racing: £1,188.77 | Soccer: -£2,104.97 Total P&L:  -£2,628.19

UK: Greyhound Racing: £50.34 | Horse Racing: £970.40 | Rugby Union: £1,937.20 | Soccer: -£1,103.52 | Tennis: £1,215.00 Total P&L:  £3,069.42

Nice lay of Scotland in the rugby .... greened up a bit and bet on tennis when Fed was around 3.4 ish at beginning of the match ... greened some of that as well.

Not sure about betting on the Welsh match .... the sensible part says no while the other part of me .... says why not.

Why the **** I bet when I have stayed up all night and extremely tired ...

Mmmm .... now I am a fairly intelligent guy and even I think (like in past attempts) been utterly stupid in some of my betting.

It has all come crashing down .... bank now down to £750 from a high of around £10.5K from memory ....  I blame the change in BF system for withdrawals as three times I withdrew £5K only to turn around and cancel the withdrawal. Oh I also blame the English who play **** at every sport going, not to mention Tottenham and a few other wasted bets I did during a day/night of betting madness.

So I am going to finish this challenge with a loss of £250 .... oh what could have been .... least it was a memorable one though for once I wish I start one of these and actually do it sensibly.

You're blaming BF because you didn't have the discipline to let a £5K deposit go through???

I blame the change in BF system for withdrawals as three times I withdrew £5K only to turn around and cancel the withdrawal

I hadn't noticed the thread but, bloody Undern, that is, again, another time you need to read your own posts and put it with other quotes on a plackard above your computer and read it every thirty minutes.

It still blows my mind when I see people burn two years of groceries in a day. 

Your ability to win is not the question mark (though, again, there are dogs negative).  The question marks are around your ability to avoid loss.

There's nothing noble in kicking a man when he's down, and it's pretty much certain that undern will be his own harshest critic at the moment, but I think there is something interesting that can be drawn from this episode.

You can't learn discipline - it's either something you've got or something you've not. For all that someone might look like they're efficiently trading the markets and making impressive (seriously impressive in undern's case) levels of profit, if they're still a gambler at heart it will all ultimately end up going wrong.

If you're going to make this game pay you must have discipline - it's the boring backbone to any successful strategy. Turning 1k into 10k in about a week is no mean feat: draw down, start again, repeat ten more times and there's your 100k in less than three months. Sounds easy, but I wonder if being disciplined precludes such rapid bank growth, i.e. does discipline inherently lead to a more conservative approach?

@McNulty: I think having true discipline in the first place would seriously restrict those winnings in the first place. It's alright saying if I'd had discipline I wouldn't have lost £2k (enter your own amount in here) on that bet, when in reality, you wouldn't have won £500, £500, £500, £500 beforehand perhaps because discipline may have made you red out on one of those wins in the first place.

Undern couldn't bet the way he does if he had discipline. He raises his bets when he loses. Sometimes he gets mostly wins and so doesn't need to bet big at any stage. Those days, he compliments himself on his sensible betting. But when he starts losing (and he always has lots of reasons for why he bet 'badly' - he was tired, somebody upset him, friends came round for dinner etc.), he just puts down bigger bets. He usually gets away with this several times. And then it goes wrong. Very wrong.

He isn't just a simple gambler though. I've seen Undern do numerous challenges like this, and he clearly has some skill in there. As I've said here and on a couple of his other threads, if he looked to treble a £1K pot before taking out the money and starting again, he'd (theoretically) do well overall.  However, I think he has a huge huge problem with money control. Three times he tried to withdraw £5K, and each time he couldn't stop himself from halting the withdrawal.

He's got to learn to control that. Deep down, though, I think there's very little chance he can do that.

And yes, Darlo's right. Telling Undern to find true discipline would be like coaching Diego Costa or Roy Keane to play without aggression. You won't change them. And if you do, you'll obliterate what's there.

One of the first lesson's I learnt with Betfair and discipline was when my son got to the age of 2 or so and had a minder X amount of days per week. 

I quickly learnt that the minute I stood up and went to pick him up in the afternoon, the day was done.  Any time I came home with him and even if he was off happy playinl, I didn't go on.

Why? He would come down the hall or call me or simply want to hang with his dad.

There is always another horse race and football match. 

And if mine came across as kicking a man when he is down, not my intention.  Simply as I have said before; undern, I wish you would read your own posts or atleast withdraw some of the money and "enjoy it" to remind yourself (something we are all guilty of on some level or the other at one time) that those figures on the screen are actually real money and not just figures on a ledger.

The "cancel Withdrawal" that most/all of the bookies use nowadays is pretty shameful imo.

I'm sorry the challenge failed for you Undern, yet again there was big highs and lows. Good luck to you.

Some very wise words posted above too.

The "cancel Withdrawal" that most/all of the bookies use nowadays is pretty shameful imo.

Agree.  Bookmakers must hire psychologists to come up with these ideas.

Shameful yes.  But if you can't even exercise enough self-control to stop yourself from using the cancel withdrawal option, you probably shouldn't even be loose on the markets!    Just hit the withdrawal command, and go and turn off the computer for a bit!

Challenge Update:
I must admit I do like to do these challenges in my own way .... with varying amounts of stupidity thrown in. However I assure you I do take some of the betting very seriously and I do have a number of strategies/signals I am looking for however as you have all alluded to I do let myself down.

Like Shapeshifter mentions I do need to remind myself it is real money I am winning and losing ... trust me it is real money .... I'm afraid the temptation to simply cancel the withdrawal is too tempting during my up and down times.

Betting is a mind-game and it is terribly hard to continue with a challenge when you know you have just made then lost a nice bit of cash .... only to go back to square. However to keep some interest in my life outside of work I will continue the challenge. I had a reasonable last day of betting so will keep it going and see where the chips land. I will do the profit reports for the last couple of days based on a close/open at midnight.

I will try and play sensibly but I won't guarantee it. Even today I did a couple of hit and hope bets ... then again this latest big up and down might have altered some brain cells in me.

Back in now. Mmm so I stayed up after the update and did a bit more betting only to waste £700 or so on a footy match hoping for goals ... yep no goals ... got to bed around 1am ... up early, now tired and mentally fatigued. So the bank is now down to £1K mark ... well actually £1012 but whose counting .

I am not continuing with this challenge ... gave it a shot but ultimately I can't seem to push on and to be honest it (as I pointed out in my last post) is mentally taxing when you have won so much in a short space of time to then have to do it again because like it not with these challenges you hit a high figure then if you go back a step or two (or 50) you only feel like you are again moving forward once you get past that original high.

I am sure some know what I am on about. Anyway again I had a fun (in a twisted sort of way) time and I may come back when I feel ready to take the challenge on again in public ... all the best to one and all.

GL. Maybe 1k to 10 k would have been more realistic?

Cheers stewarty b. I still hang around on BF betting (although not as much as I used to) so I may do mini-challenges or perhaps like you say £1K to £10K etc. Just read about someone trying a £10 challenge ... but my problem is that I greening up where needed so hard to put something up and then have to explain I actually greened up on the bet. TBH just feel mentally tired from the last week or so ... so best to let it go.

Shirley 1-10 withdraw 8 then 2-20 etc ,you may not have Discipline Undern but with a right plan you could well be very profitable ,you certainly have the bottle ,which is something that is deffo needed ,trying to get the lot in one go is
your downfall ,g luck if you try again

Lunatic

Interesting comment

Don't call me Shirley

Shirley not ...
