si1965 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Just an idea at the moment, so I thought I would start a thread here to track it's progress. Basically I will be selecting matches where the bookies price up the home and away side equally. I will be tracking the success of backing the away side and also a separate bank taking the X2 more conservative option. Bets will be 10% of bank and I will generally try and get best odds available. My first selection for the weekend: Middlesbrough v QPR QPR @ 2.75 (VCBet) QPR or Draw @ 1.44 (Bet365) Bank A (Away) / Bank B (Double Chance) Starting Bank = 100 / 100 Current bank = 90 / 90 Total staked = 10 / 10 Number of bets = 1 / 1 Winning bets = 0 / 0 Losing bets = 0 / 0 Strike rate = 0% / 0% Yield = 0% / 0% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si1965 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Re: Too close to call There is a second match that fits the criteria this weekend: Doncaster v Watford Watford @ 2.75 (VCBet) Watford or Draw @ 1.5 (Bet365) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si1965 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Re: Too close to call Always good to start on a winning note. As soon as Watford went down to 10 men I knew the win was probably out of reach, but at least the draw counts for Bank B. Bank A Bank B Starting Bank 100 100 Current bank 108.5 108.9 Total staked 19 19 Number of bets 2 2 Winning bets 1 2 Losing bets 1 0 Strike rate 50% 100% Yield 45% 47% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

si1965 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Re: Too close to call This is the situation after the Lincoln Citry home win. Bank A Bank B Starting Bank 100 100 Current bank 97.7 98.0 Total staked 30 30 Number of bets 3 3 Winning bets 1 2 Losing bets 2 1 Strike rate 33% 67% Yield -8% -7% Unfortunately due to the site problems last week I couldn't post my selection (Newcastle v Everton) In the interests of fairness I will ignore last week so this weekend there is again one selection, once again I am opposing Lincoln: Lincoln City v Southend Southend @ 2.7 (StanJames) Southend or Draw @ 1.5 (StanJames) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
