My aim today was to pick a horse to lay to the tune of £50.
My bank at the start of the day was £441, I backed the first winner at Newcastle, the gambled on alston horse but only had pennies on, mistake number one, as I usually like to follow his yard, so should have had a decent bet onI then proceeded to do a stupid lay and lost to the tune of £245, I made the mistake of not backing to lay, and covering the loss, I then went against all my instincts and had £100 on the nose trying to chase and get the money back.
I then backed another few losers and ended up on the day with £39 in the bank, a harsh lesson earned, I am a total newbie at laying and I paid the price today.
I expect no sympathy

edwin you fishing again? total newbie at laying..here since 2003?
we have all done it mate. learn from it (says me who still does it :( )
You shouldn't be laying one to lose 60% of your bank. Get a grip.
The Optician, I know thats what you feel like, you feel like just throwing the lot on a total ranker to try and win it all back, its a surreal feeling
exactly johnn, you should lay it to lose 100% ffs. no point messing around.
thats the issue, bank management..regroup..build the bank and keep to within 5-10% of bank when playing..GL
Here since 2003? Blimey as long as that? just normally bet to win, only just started laying as I know fook all about it, and still don't I'm a small time £5 win and place merchant, not a big player normally. like I said totally lost it today
its all about learning from your mistakes, everyone has made the sort of errors you did today. its up you you if you learn from it and not chase and lose your discipline like this again.
thats what i think sets the good trader and the losssers on here.
good luck for the future.

hover above peoples username tells you when you joined edwinchester.
ok fair enough mate, and dont do anything rash, just take it steady and rebuild slowly using 2/3 pound lays
The Optician, just noticed that, but I'm not hiding anything mate, just wanted to get it off my chest, I even missed the cat when I went home to kick it
Do I need www.gambleaware.com?

because of one bad day? no..unless this is just the latest in a series of debacles
has anyone ever contacted gamble aware?? u see all the leaflets in the bookies with dust gathering on them , i dont know anyone who has!
try and relax....regroup and build slowly....I have dropped 40K since xmas, so try and not be down...

OVERSEAS yes thats the plan I'm determined to build that 39.20 back up, I will never do that again
I've had two big losing days this month laying, it happens. Learn from it, and come back stronger. gl
edwin the fact you still have 39 pounds in your account is your saving grace...a real compulsive would have a zero balance having chased his self into oblivion
If you have built up a reasonable bank over a period of time since last deposit/ withdraw then in one day because of one early mistake lose a significant chunk of it, the gut reaction is to chase and get that period of work time profit back. You can lose a weeks profit with a single mistake on a big liability hence try to keeps low liability i.e. 3/1 and under with only max 10% outlay on any one bet.
Think youll find most of us have done it and try to learn from it.

would reload and play Penn and Mountaineer............then you can say completely lost your discipline - sound quite sensible in reality
snap tony
seem quite cool to me well done for not doing the lot

lay to lose 1% of bank or 3% at the most - you are a reckless monkey
Edwin - tbh mate , you will always have terrible days with that kamikaze approach - what you are doing is IMPOSSIBLE long term

Glasgow Brian .. yeah I know, I've learned the hard way
But unless you sort your "pigeon brain" out you will lose again and again -
If you doubled your bank in 12 months with a strategy would you consider that good or shyte ?

Edwin, I have been in the same position lots of times and no doubt in the not to distant future. If you can afford it reload your account and win the money back, give yourself a few weeks. There is to little left in your account to drag it back up it would take to long and really only be a waste of time. Good luck whatever you decide.
Youm got to laugh at that boy dont you , to go through life with no humour or brain and to be as bitter as he is , must be a long day for you.

a good approach Ed, after a big hit the best thing you can do is start small and build the bank back up slowly. This helps build you confidence and if you are just on a bad run then further losses will just be small.
good luck!
good luck!
Level stake single bets to win only is the only way to win at this game. Laying will not make significant profit in the long run
start small and rebuild your bank.
Usually I start off with 50p lays then work my way up to £1 then £1.50, £2 then £5, £10, £12.50 etc etc.

As long as you loose more than £2 it's ok,
there is a way to back less that £2 but I can't be bothered to explain, ta.

50p and other sub £2 lays are easy to do.
THINK ABOUT IT.
i'm not going to tell u how I did it but I stumbled accross it one day by accident when I was trading out and miscalculated the amounts.

back for £2 at odds that won't be matched
then change stake to say £2.50, this will then give you 2 bets, one for 50p and one for £2
change the odds of the 50p to current (matchable) odds then cancel the £2 bet
Now you have a 50p bet
see it wasn't that difficult info

I just lay at £2.50 and then back at £2 for the same odds.
