Short Odds Glory Hunt Diary

[Torque]

This is my first post on what I think is a really great forum. I've been struck by the warm, friendly, community spirit that runs through a number of the threads that I have read. Before I start, I'd like to doff my cap to Atko, Palaceman, Grex, Ebor and Iamgooner, forum members whose posts I have particularly enjoyed reading. I also think that any forum member prepared to take the time to share selections and strategies and to give help and advice to others should be commended. The aim of this thread is to (hopefully) generate a slow, steady profit over time. I ran something similar to this earlier in the year, and it returned in excess of 200 points profit. I will be looking to back short odds favourites in both football and tennis. I believe that even at short odds it is possible to find value, provided that you research each bet. I am planning to place one bet per day, but on some days I may place more than one bet or no bets at all. I will be staking to return 1% of my bank high. This is quite an aggressive strategy, but I think it works quite well when betting at short odds. Also, the money I will be using is money that I am quite prepared to lose (although hopefully this will not happen!). All comments and feedback are welcome. First selection to follow. Wish me luck! :hope

Ronaldo, Higuain, Ozil and Di Maria will hopefully be on song tonight so that this thread can make a positive start.
