Diary of a punter

[Atko]

I have tried to start a few of these 'diary' type things before, but too often they've fallen on their backside too quickly. I'm aiming to keep this one going for significantly longer. I don't get an awful lot of time these days to write up bets, but I do miss having general gambling banter. I've toned down how much I gamble because I simply lack the research time to do myself justice, but I want to have a crack at sticking to a set formula and see if I can come out, long-term, in profit, which is the ultimate goal. I am giving myself three bets per day to play with, each of the same monetary amount. I won't disclose that amount at the moment, but it's not big. If I really like a bet, I'll allow myself to double up and NAP it, thus only have two bets and putting 67% of the daily bank on the NAP. That will only happen in special circumstances. A NAP is not something one should whap out every day. As many of you will know, I bet mainly on French football, Scottish football and tennis. The latter is a sport I am totally addicted to. I could watch it all day long. Sadly, that doesn't pay the bills. All my bets will be wagered with unibet. They have a daily stake limit, so I can keep myself disciplined that way. The goal? Well, it's to end each week in profit. I don't really care how much profit I do end up, just as long as there is a plus sign next to my stats. I'll try to post daily, as I want this to have the real feel of a diary. I want to chart my highs and lows. I also want contributions. If you think I'm a t**t, just say, or if you're enjoying what I'm doing and follow a bet, let me know. Wish me luck :ok

Re: Diary of a punter I should also add, while I'm still online, that odds for each bet will be 1.80 or greater. Everyone needs to have their own little rules and 1.80 is the lowest odds that I'll take. More often than not though, I'll look for greater. My bets can be singles, doubles, or trebles. Any more than three in a perm bet and you're asking for trouble. As much as foursome in the bedroom, for example, sounds amazing (three ladies, I might add, no other men), there's no way it'd work. You'd be asking too much of yourself. Three is a more manageable number. That's the way I look at it for bets too. I'll be back tomorrow with some selections.
