New bank 848.21pts So just to be on the same page - your original bank pts were 1,000 and you are currently sitting on 848.21? Is this still worth it after all this time?

Is this still worth it after all this time? On its own probably not. As it is, I don't just bet on favourites. Overall, I choose to bet at all odds ranges in an attempt to smooth out variance. If the favourites aren't doing so well then the underdogs will often cover for them, and vice-versa. A perfect example on this thread is Serena Williams. I backed her to win Wimbledon and the US Open in 2018 and the same again this year, whilst at the same time betting on other players to win those tournaments. In the event, she failed to win any of those tournaments, despite reaching the final of every one and being the favourite to win. If she'd won those finals like she was supposed to then this thread would be well up and it would certainly look as though it was worth it - but she didn't and so it looks as though I've been wasting my time. Those are the fine margins in betting sometimes and like I said I cover myself by betting on other players besides the favourites, although I obviously don't post them here. Thanks for looking in by the way - I think you're the first person to post on this thread other than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the proverbial sense in football it would be taking the double bet of home/draw for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torque Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Yeah something like that. I don't hedge for the sake of it though - only when I think it's worth it. Sometimes I'm more exposed and other times less but overall it makes for a smoother ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
