£5 a day keeps the overdraft away


Recommended Posts

After a really excellent start to the week and also midweek betting in the Champions league where I managed to amass a profit of about £350 I turned around this weekend and lost over £100. Now this is all well and good because I am still well in profit but I want to now be more disciplined in my betting and take this opportunity to cool off with the higher stakes and learn a bit more. I am a student and money can be tight, last year I never had a student loan and my card went £700 into overdraft whilst living away from home. This year with a loan my spending has only increased, living a bit of the high life with concerts,hotels, drinking etc. And another card has slipped into £300 overdraft. This is by no means a thread where I am going to try and pay off my debts with gambling, that will be sorted when the next instalment comes in :ok and when I sell off some extra tickets I bought for a concert, (Watch the throne in Dublin anyone?) So don't be worrying about me being young and foolish with betting and money! Also my hours at work have been cut like so many, so my regular monthly income has lessened. I hope to keep a log in this thread of all my betting and hopefully be in profit at the end of the month for a bit of extra money and stop me going into my overdraft again over the summer. My plan is simple, with even stakes at £5 hoping to find good value bets (mostly football) around even odds. Also if I fancy 2 or more bets on a Saturday that is fine and dandy, or if I don't want to bet that day I won't force myself I will be flexible enough. With £5 a day winnings (in a highly unlikely 100% strike rate month) profit would be £150. If all goes well I might increase to £10 a day ;) No start bank just a Profit/Loss running total.
