waggy Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 I think Mumbai City are nailed on to win today and as I am betting with the profit I have made so far I will put my money where my mouth is and put further bets on them. £150 @7/10 - 2 x £150 @8/11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waggy Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) I follow the Indian league quite closely. Adam Le Fondres plays striker for Mumbai and he makes a big difference for them. Think I'll get a result.

You built it back a few times before so you can again you just have to cut out these big bets. vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad for you Gooner, I think it’s completely disrespectful to ignore someone’s advice like that. I know its very difficult to stop chasing loses we have all done it and it is why 99% of us fail when it comes to gambling. Its only advice, the hard part is taking the advice when things are going badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waggy Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 Going for broke tonight with a further bet of £150 @5/4 on Verona. Still be in profit if it goes down. Welcome back again Potus, can't believe I saw a small compliment in amongst your comments. Good advice Gooner but I won't change for a while.

I don't usually join but didn't bet on anything today so threw a fiver for fun. Hooray! We all win together now! ???? hard not to chase like Gooner said but at least if you did lose, you're just losing the profit you gained, not your own money.

waggy Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 1844 result: Verona won 2-1. Won £687.50 Profit to date £1239.99 Quite an eventful day and a good ending thank goodness. Nice to see you both had a winning bet(s) too. I am used to this type of betting but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. After nearly sixty years of gambling I now only get a buzz out of the big bets. Now back on a better profit base I will have to try and consolidate a bit for a while. vikki37, Torque and JdsGooner90 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torque Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 You know what @waggy if that's the way you like to bet then fair enough and who is anyone to argue with you. As long as it doesn't affect your life then there's no reason not to carry on the way you want to. Anyone of a reasonable mind could be concerned when someone bets like you do about whether you can afford it - whether you're using money that's needed for other things - and about whether it affects your mental health or puts a strain on your personal life. But if none of those things are happening then good luck to you JdsGooner90 and vikki37 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waggy Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Excellent post Torque. When I started this thread it was for 20 months and I started out with £2020, which works out at about £25 a week which I think is what most people can afford. As I was in profit the bets were able to rise as I was betting with the profits. As it stands now I could lose the profit and the stake and it would only have cost me about £20 per week in total. The concerns you raise should be read by everyone. Bet within your means. vikki37 and Torque 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikki37 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 5 minutes ago, SteffiSteffiGraf said: I think the ‘Can you afford it?’ question is certainly one factor, and perhaps even the key factor, for most people. However, as Torque alluded to, there are other issues at play as well. Could the money be better spent elsewhere? Could your time be better spent elsewhere? What effect does this pursuit have on your energy and mental health? What effect does it have on other aspects of your life, and has it in fact taken over your life? What are you trying to gain from all this, and what are you actually gaining from all this? I say all of this as someone who had very similar betting patterns and mindsets to what you appear to have. I just don’t see how this can be a positive use of your time, energy and money. I feel like other members of the forum are more and more starting to suggest the same to you. If only we could stage some kind of online intervention........ Obviously, waggy can afford it as stated above. He also obviously enjoys betting so it is a positive thing for him in other aspects like time, energy and mental health. Some people find betting like a hobby, an interest and a way of releasing stress sometimes when looking into what to bet, reading previews etc. Again, you can have your own opinions but this thread has nothing to do with you. You've stated your opinion once, that's enough. There's no need to go on. Waggy can do what he likes and as long as he can afford the lost, it's fine. It's his way of betting for many years of his life and he's still surviving. So let him be. waggy, Torque and harry_rag 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waggy Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Think this sounds more about you Steffi than me. Having been retired for 18 years this is one of my hobbies. Keep very fit, no mortgage, no debt and no mental problems. As for intervention what would that be about. This thread has been going over two years at no cost to me whatsoever, so what's the problem. I enter most competitions on here and enjoy studying sports form. As I said, I have no problems whatsoever, but if you don't like the thread don't read it. If you feel the need to vent your obvious frustrations with life feel free to voice them if it makes you feel better.

Larkin22 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Enjoy reading your punts waggy. I think people need to recognise the difference between someone; promoting a system that they think will create a good ROI and someone who wants to have fun on a hobby within their means and might get lucky It's nice to check in on someone to make sure they are in control, but it should come from a place of care and not bitterness. You ever think of drip removing profits when you are on a good run waggy? Torque and vikki37 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waggy Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks Larkin for your input. You hit the nail on the head as this is a hobby and a bit of fun. I also invest in the stock market which I do take a bit more seriously. Good idea for some the removing of a bit of the profit but not for me at the moment. Over the past nearly 60 years I have really enjoyed some great betting times, good and bad and met some great characters along the way, it's good to keep my hand in. Nice to hear from you. vikki37 and Larkin22 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
