Torque Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 I've layed Slovenia at 1.03 and left all the profit on them. If they win, it's a win at odds of 1.11 - if they don't then it's a scratch bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Norway won but it should have been much easier than that. 2-1 against a side as limited as Malta is not good and it definitely wasn't good for me which was why I had to get out. I've been backing at odds of at least 1.11, but as a few bets have been at higher odds than that I've got a few ticks in the bank so to speak which is why I traded out at below 1.11. I definitely backed the wrong horse tonight - I was going to back Italy (narrowly won 9-1 ) and I thought about backing Sweden (comfortably won 3-0). Settled on Norway as they won well in their last match, whilst Malta were thrashed by Spain and are one of the worst international teams in the world. Anyway, I'm still alive in this which is the main thing and I've already got further than I thought I would. Next stake £526.57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 Not in its original guise. I got a lot further with this than I expected and I'm happy with what I've made so far. It was getting progressively more difficult to find something to bet on each day that I liked the look of - probably because the further you get with something like this, the more loss-averse you become - and so I plan to try to hit the target by being very selective and only taking things that look as though they can't lose. Ultimately, when the loser comes I'll be happier having done it that way and I've already had a few close shaves on this thread and I'm almost certain if I'd carried on as I was I'd have hit a loser by now.

Hi @Matty1290, and as @Sir Puntalot said, welcome. I probably should do what you suggest, but where's the glory in that! I might take my initial stake out at some point - that way I'm not losing 'my' money, but other than that I'll probably carry on until I hit a loser. Most likely the next bet for this thread will come from the Australian Open which starts in a few days - I'll be hoping there aren't any big upsets and that the conditions improve as poor air quality could lead to some strange results.
