JoeyB's betting journey...

[JoeyB]

Thought a thread would remind me to remember to record my wins/loses accurately and not get lazy with keeping track... So I only starting betting three weeks ago (roughly), the night before the Italy-England game I suddenly had the urge to put £5 on Italy 2-1 correct score for 12/1. I have no idea why tbh, but I did and it came through, so £60 up. Previous to this I had a go at an introductory offer on William Hill, risk free £20 on slots. I won £65 profit from my spins. Unfortunately I lost about £90 after this from sports betting, went up a bit then tried chasing losses, newbie error. I've slowly done a bit better and also won a bit on a roulette offer so... Up £95 as of now. Most of my bets will be football, some may be on horses, but these will be very low value multiple bets, more for a bit of entertainment, though wins are always nice! There's no hard and fast rules, which is clearly risky, but that's how I roll, just no more chasing losses with higher bets. However if I do not know the teams well myself (random friendlies of obscure teams), I will only bet on low return/risk situations. My limit of losses is to go down to £70 up, after which I'll stop until next month (topping up balance £10 if it runs out each month). Current aim is to get to £150 up + >£10 in online betting account. So what with it being WC semi's, tonight's bets.... Brazil v Germany £8 on Under 2.5 @ 8/15 £2 on Under 1.5 @ 7/4 Double £5 on Germany/Argentina to Qualify, 280/100 Max potential profit: £18.19 Max losses: £15

Re: JoeyB's betting journey... Totally went against the "don't chase the losses" rule, but it was obvious where the match was heading, so I placed a few £1 correct score bets a little after ht (7-0, 7-1, 8-0, 9-0, 9-1) 7-1 came through at 11/1 so... Brazil v Germany £8 on Under 2.5 @ 8/15 = LOST £2 on Under 1.5 @ 7/4 = LOST £1 on 7-1 correct score @ 11/1= WON £1 on 7-0, 8-0, 9-0, 9-1 = LOST Total -£3. Double: £5 on Germany/Argentina to Qualify 280/100 (Pending) Bank £92.
