? North Queensland Cowboys to Win (DNB) v Canterbury Bulldog ➡️ £300 @1,65


Queensland Cowboys would undoubtedly be the favorites of winning and dominating the game throughout. Bulldogs might struggle against a formidable lineup of Cowboys who are playing at home, with all the confidence and power up front. ?

Unbelievably, the winning try was refused even though the video shows the opposite! 

I'm really angry. But that's the game.

I'd be delighted for you to prove me wrong (and hope the challenge spurs you on to "bet better") but if you turn the initial £50 into even £500 I'll sit in the metaphorical corner with a dunce's hat on!

And there I was about to do my Michael Stipe impression (that’s me in the corner) when you gift me a stay of execution! Firstly you make and lose the money while I’m asleep and secondly there’s the technical issue (I obviously specifically meant bets posted in this thread so can’t include tennis bets posted in the snooker section)! :lol
 

Not seen the game so don’t know if I’d agree or feel you were talking through your pocket but I’m not keen on bad luck stories for losing bets when we never post that a winner was achieved through similar luck. Winners and losers should be accepted with equal grace, so I can’t agree that being really angry about a result is a healthy part of the game. Just move onto the next bet.

I suspect you'd be in front had you bet to level stakes but the random nature of the staking has pretty much done for you. In some ways it was a "fun" thread trying to turn 50 into 1000 but you could have reassessed the approach when you got to 500.

I'm not sure how much fun you've had the way it's gone, or how it's lived up to the opening "no stress" comment.

Better luck (and hopefully discipline) next time.

It was a thread for fun but at £500 I made a big mistake. 

I should have made a serious bet. 

I have to bet seriously, with a maximum of 10%. 

It also proves that I still don't know how to manage a big bank. I am playing too much and in an untidy way. 

I'm going to think tonight about getting back to real management, with a starting bank of £50 for example, and a monthly deposit of £50 to gradually build up a bank. 

I really need to get the management right.
