seriously going to give up this game

money can be made by laying if your not greedy
What did u lose on?

it's the only option xaar, sorry to hear that.


see you tomorrow.

Loads packing the horses up, there are better betting options, had to laugh yesterday when someone said Football betting was unpredictable. Football couldnt possibly be anywhere near as unpredictable as horse or greyhound racing. Too many poor jockeys giving awful rides by accident or design, thats the major problem punters face.

what is you betting bank ?

what is you liability on each selection ?

what is you longest losing run ?

what could be be biggest drawdown ?

i'd say football in the premier league is as unpredictable as anything at the moment

Basil - winning at horseracing is like a science . The psychological demands that is entails is a massive challenge .

The reason why most lose on the horses is because they have no idea what the expected profit should be regarding turnover .

Winning at horseracing is indeed possible but dont plan to win your fortune in a day or a week .

Plan it over a number of years .

laying liverpool every home game would have bagged you a nice profit last 10 years

Zealot - correct.

I would suggest having 2 betting banks
1 for your serious bets and the other for your fun bets, keep a record of all bets and why you backed/layed them. After a period of time you may realise that you can do it but need to be more disciplined or you can't and just do it for fun.

I know that day to day betting on the horses is no good for me.

If only they would let the horses race without jockeys... putting a carrot/nosebag in front of them during the race then flipping it behind them after the post.  No more armchair jockey crying foul.

As apposed to having the Betfair carrot lay button in front of the jockey's nose

The game of horseracing is packed with many variables . It is an "intellectual challenge" but the psychological part of it is the biggest to overcome .

If you started with a £2,000 betting bank and increased it by 50% each year it wouldnt take long to build up a small fortune .

Youve got to treat it like a business and dont get too greedy !!!!

expecting 50% off a £2k bank with proper staking is unrealistic

most people fail because it's bl00dy hard not because of lack of discipline.

I wouldn't like to estimate how many threads i've read on here that state lack of discipline being the down fall. What usually has happened is the bank has been built up quickly with rash staking that has just happened to come off, then it collapses in the same way.

would you say so striding ?

laying to 5% and increasing/decreasing liabilities with betting bank ??

what would be your approach ?

It is. The reality is, it should be much more than 50%.

sorry i was thinking of turnover FFS

been a long day

i'll sit in the corner for a few mins

Lol. Couldn't believe what I was reading !

ok striding , cheers .

Maybe mate but it is still a good starting point for an habitual loser !!!

no i can't either facts, i was thinking about a 50% roi each year

--------------

Only last Saturday ...

Liverpool 0-3 West Ham

Chelsea 1-2 Crystal Pal

what is your average price ?

and your strike rate ?

30% return,is feasible laying short not odds on,profit south africa, mdns.every month

362 racing days a year

362 x £25 = £9050

Onlooker....on the face of it those two games were surprising results, but not to everyone. Neither result really shocked me, Chelsea have been badly out of form and I actually laid them. Similar comments apply to the Liverpool game, Liverpools team last eyar was the worst I can remember in my entire lifetime. Both Chelsea and Liverpool are there to be beaten at present, even by average teams like West Ham and Palace.
Man Utd also look vulnerable as like Chelsea and Liverpool they have misfiring strikers. I dont think Football is unpredictable when compared to horse racing or dogs mate.

liverpool are one of the worst value punts in football consistently mate

and i'm a fan

I Think if you are better at something it's natural to assume it's easier to read perhaps?

just stick to what you are best at

i rarely touch football

***go on basil..post the lay.***

Too easy to fake that sort of thing, it doesnt mean anything, and I certainly wouldnt do anything at your request Rioda, as your just a troll. It makes me laugh that you use a couple of your other identities to big you up as a top punter, never read anything so ridiuculous in my life, Troll On you complete loser.

9000 posts in 4 years, delusional fanatsist imho.

Stakes =  2% of Racing  Bank

I would say if you're backing on horses it all depends on what sort of prices you typically back at. If you focus on mostly e/w bets and rarely back at 3/1 and lower then 2% of your bank should be a nice bet, typically 1% for a normal bet but be willing to go up to 5% as a max bet.

basil tarking complete shyte again...aftertiming at its best and no lay to post

WAC

the op found it funny earlier in the day when The Yank took a crashing last fence fall.
Karma!

Bloody hell, they're dropping like flies this week....Sir Bond, ALIEN SEX FRIEND and now xaar...bit o' soft ground and it all goes t!ts oop 

does anyone on here win overall?  why would anyone pay 20% of winning in tax?

hahaha gotta love this forum

Football betting I find extremely tough, win a bit, give a bit back. Be happy to be level over a season! Horseracing is a walk in the park in comparison! Bank of £2000 i'd be looking net £5k profit pa min. Easily doable with discipline and an edge.

tom segal (pricewise),59 losers,up to now.

Trademark -  when do you place your bets on the exchange ?

Seems a lot harder now to get matched imo

easier to get matched plenty of fish site(p.o.f)

cheers

"Stakes =  2% of Racing  Bank"


Can't see the point of having a large bank and only betting 2 per cent.

Is it just there to make you feel better when you lose yer 2% stake?

THIRTY - Do you anything about losing-runs ?

^^^

Between 30 and 5 mins before the off 95% of the time. For my stakes I don't have much trouble getting matched. I'm full time on here and have been for 8 years now. Being truthful i've never had it as good on Horseracing as i've got it now. Taken a lot of hard work and tears to get to this point. You should know within 12 moths of starting full time if you can make it pay...not for everyone. Be lucky

On the contrary, thirty-three. 2% would be too much normally unless you back odds on exclusively.

Backing Pricewise with 2% would have seen you virtually wiped out.

================

As King of Dubai has indicated ...

It's, "there," -  to keep you in the game - both financially, and equally importantly, mentally - when the unfortunate, or inevitable, losing sequence would otherwise have wiped you out.

Anyone who doesnt understand the need to have a substantial reserve bank in place,has clearly no plan to his betting and trying to explain the need for such funds is a complete waste of time .
