I had a punt on the draw in play just after HT.

Seen as the French twats let me down.

Another 60 seconds and I'll finally be even. Or about £200 down.

Most my bets are small upto a £5, I had £20 on a horse yesterday at 6-1 which came in , but dont bet that kind of cash!

I've probably cut back a fair bit now I've got the mortgage to pay.

My woes started yesterday with a £30 loss on the rugby league (Wakefield vs Bradford), then a £20 acca on the boxing. I shoved £50 on France -7, that lost, then £100 on the draw in this game, which has won me that back and left me next week's stake money.

Have you tried out your new system thingy BB? ...... I've been pondering doing something similar recently but have done ok past few weeks so aint tried it yet. I've cut my bets down to trebles, doubles and singles and it seems to be helping.

It will do. Bookies make their money from accas. I know a big acca has a great prize at the end of it but it's such a bad bet and such bad value I strongly recommend you try and not do them. You're losing so much value on each selection ( due to the % firms bet a market to ) and you'll be putting a 1/4 shot in your acca just for the sake of getting the overall returns up. It's not worth it. I guarantee you'll make more in the long term by backing singles, doubles at most

Hello followers,

Good news. In the coming days I will be starting a new run in the thread due to popular demand and several PMs from followers.

I recommend that followers get 100 quid and deposit into betfair or betdaq. Together we will turn that 100 into 500. Obviously I am using a higher sum of money but followers have to start somewhere.

Get ready for this risk-free earning to start this week. Exciting times for followers!

Not yet.

I've not got round to it yet.

Other than not backing anything below 1/2 on a single or 1/3 on an accy I'm going on instinct and form at the minute.

Not doing bad, but could do better.

Why are you doing this? Without trying to preach, if you make a 1/2 shot value then you should be backing it. The golden rule is if you make it 5% value then back it. The actual price your backing should to some extent be irrelevant - it's the value behind the bet that should be the driving force behind the bet

Spearmint Rhino · 02-26-2012, 02:26 PM

It's not really a question of value, I just don't fancy the chances of losing possibly £50 for a gain of just £25.

Though I use the ''value'' system for better odds. Last season I loaded up on City to win away at West Ham at evens, thinking it ought to have been around 4/6.

Because the gains are greater I'm more likely to have a bash, like most people.

perspicacity · 02-26-2012, 02:52 PM

Agree with Escobar but am guilty myself of looking for odds closer to the even money mark, I seldom back anything below 4/6!

Also sometimes go with my gut too, like today I thought Sheff Utd represented decent value against their neighbours who have lost their past 3 games, something told me Wednesday would get the win today and in the end I just stayed away from it.

Waiting on Napoli now for a treble with Osasuna and Chievo, all around that evs mark I mentioned.

Have you backed Gamboa yet or you waiting to see if odds get better?

What you make of Gamboa at 4/5?
