Sir Puntalot

All prizes paid, and new Punters Lounge merchandise on the way to @Saddlesore & @FleetFanatic   
 

Hello all.
I’ve often seen these football  £10 to £10k type challenges and wondered how far I could go with it on my picks.
So, I am going to try with two thresholds, one aiming for a bet at roughly evens each time and one with a bet at rough 1/2 each time. I’ll be starting with £10 on each. I am NOT using real money.
Ill post my first bet soon!
Current EVENS bet thread: 0 bets, £10 balance
Current 1/2 bet thread: 0 bets, £10 balance.

Keith Hunter won by Split decision

Day 1
Trotter takes the early lead but 56 players had a winner

*2 players were declared void today for posting after 1.45.
I know it looks a bit mean but the thread for selections was up for 20 hours before the first race and 73 other people managed to make the deadline. BH

Punters Lounge merchandise added to prizes, see post 1.  

Punters Lounge merchandise update - see post 1.  

Sadly this is the arrogance that has become Skybet, and The Stars Group who bought them out. They literally stole money from many partner sites and under current management, we will have nothing to do with them.
@avongirl Do we not have any other options than giving these clowns exposure?

Errrm x2 in the last column.  

@NickP - I once asked a Maths Professor how many bets a system would need to be taken seriously and have a good chance of success in the future.

His answer was at least 2000 bets at a minimum, then you'll have a 95% chance of similar success with a 5% variational swing (bigger than it sounds).  

Sounds like a good idea and spices things up a bit.  

@avongirl Thoughts?  

Well done @luckypants and don't worry @Like A Roughie we'll get your Punters Lounge merchandise out to you as a small consolation despite finishing 2nd.

Sorry, I'm having one of those days - you win the PL merchandise regardless @Like A Roughie   

I'll get my coat on the way out....  

I echo @Torque 's wise words. Punters Lounge has a very different calibre of visitor that knows ups and downs are part of the game we all love. Chin up @eros - I think it's a lovely sentiment that you feel like that, but absolutely unnecessary.

I wouldn't get too down about it @eros Two losers, much like two winners, doesn't really mean anything. If you enjoy looking at tennis matches and trying to work out what will happen then carry on with it and see whether you've made or lost money after a few hundred bets. That will give you an idea about whether you're better at judging outcomes than the market and if it turns out you aren't but you've only lost a little but you still enjoy it then carry on anyway. It's not always about making money, if you get enjoyment out of it then it's no different than paying for a gym membership for example - you pay for your membership and you get health benefits out of it. If betting on tennis costs you money then you're 'paying' for it, but if you enjoy it and if the losses are acceptable for you then it doesn't matter
