"I wish to make £2 on every tip of Alan Keyte's by laying them instead of backing and using a Recovery Martingale Staking system to keep on target."
It was successful enough to make Unionjack a couple of thousand before a bad run caused him to take the money and run.
I've been paper trialing a less dangerous system using an opening bank of £1000 for a minimum lay bet of £10 and raising / reducing the stake until the system has reached a new high. Unfortunately after two years all I've got to show for it is a paper profit of £1800 and I was hoping to reach £2000 profit before today, 26/10/2009.
So what I propose to do is take out 800 'profit' and start with £2000 and challenge anyone else to improve on the results. The minimum bet is £10, the maximum bet is what is in left of your £2000. You can lay or back, as long as your bet is before the official starting time so you can check the market but don't AFTERTIME. You can miss out days even. All results are to BSP with 5% comm.
The current state of plaly after 2 years at a £10 level stake is
BACK Treasure Town 1st @ 1.72 +£6.84 Total Loss -£132.76 Max. +£68.18 Min. -£175.64
LAY Treasure Town 1st @ 1.72 -£7.20 Total Loss -£211.52 Max. +£54.20 Min. -£317.77
It appears I should have backed instead of layed, but I've survived so far. Can you make a profit by backing and laying when both lines show a loss?? GL to those who think they can do it. ]:)

Hi Tightfist Zipper back .. Had a wonderful cruise on The Independence of the Seas ( Biggest boat on the oceon until Dec 1 ) Luxury end to end on money won from the nap boys.
Me old mucker DT01 looked after the shop & from what I've seen , I told you he's no mug !!! Getting back to laying all AK's naps... you will lose.... backing all AK's naps you will lose.... the trick is back some, lay some, leave some alone, which requires judgement, which is obvious you don't have. |
