You're doing fine, only -1% is really close to making profit.

I'd suggest you use Pinnacle, sometimes you can get better prices there, the 5% commission is not to be underestimated and without it you are beating the markets.
You could probably be in the profit if you just looked for better prices.

Maybe also reduce the number of bets a little and be very careful on underdogs.
I always found it difficult beating 2+ odds on consistent basis, am very selective there.

If you have a bet history make a breakdown of it and look at which price range you are not doing well, maybe also check WTA/ATP and just be more selective in the price ranges where you are not doing well.

Thanks Fouulbar- good advice tbh I don't look at prices, if I think a player wins, I just back it.
I only use Betfair and 365(for inplay). I'll try other books for better odds

I'll quit long before that happens.

For the so called experts. Where did I go wrong? Did I really screw up the Aman bet? Was Hradecka and Benesova bad bets?

I don't think so

Ur pre match betting is excellent.

Thing is small tounament betting is just to solid, especialy on hardcourt.

Think about it ur not that far from evns.

Gambling is a patient game man.

See the thing here is ur trying to win money everyday. Y dnt u just try to stick in there.

Thing is if u can get it into the green right now, u will have ran this thread for 1 year and still be in profit after commision with mainly backing pre-match. Now that's a betfair record. No1 has ever done it before.

Ur not doing that bad, trust me. I also think u should vary ur amount.

Eg u bet 100 and 50. Y dnt u try betting some matches for 25. This will also help the reader as they will then know which of ur bets u fancy most in order of the amount placed.

1 thing that seems to work for me is bet low if ur on a bit of a losing run, but if u seem to be on a good run dnt be afraid to back a bit more.

So far, uv never chased which is summit I rate  about this thread.

Just read my advice again, you kind of doing the wrong things now and no one said you should bet big all of the sudden was nothing wrong with what you were staking before.

This is not about one day,
this is about days/months,
patience and disciple is required, you can't really know anything from how one day goes,
because edges are small and you could easily lose 10 value bets ending up losing a lot although you made good bets.

Sifon you seem a decent guy and you keep the thread running even though you are down.  I will throw in my tuppence worth without meaning to cause offence.

You are not learning anything from your mistakes, you just keep posting basically the same strategy day in day out.  You can only succeed long term if you have an edge or backing / laying value.  Picking 15 matches per day etc is madness.  Are you saying that the layers have got every match wrong?  I know you don't believe in value but thats why you are in the red.  You need to only back when you have VALUE... and value doesn't mean backing long odds, value can occur at any price. 

Personally I think you should use this thread as a learning curve and with a bit of refinement and work at your selections you could well possibly turn it around but yesterday for example you were involved in 29 matches - crazy!!!

Anyhow I hope you turn it around

Thanks novae1 and dlarssonf. I'll reply tomorrow :)
