Yoda Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Hi All After lurking for a while, decided it was time to put myself in the firing line! Ok, aim of this glory hunt is to achieve a 3% average increase of the bank a day until glory or bust (bust being the far more likely outcome! ;)). A maximum of 10% of the total bank will be staked per day. All odds will be taken from bet365. There is no system or strategy to the selections, they will be just what takes my fancy at the time! Starting bank is £100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friskyfitz Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Re: 3% a day Looks like you saved your arse there... Now... The title implies that you want to make 3% to your bank per day so why not stick to it that way.... Lets say your bank is £100 and you want to back an even money shot Target bank is £103 i.e £100 + 3% So then your bet is £3 @ 1/1... You tend to be trying to gain too much too quick i.e 22% per bet etc.. Just a thought :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Re: 3% a day yea it was close!!! :) Youre quite right, the stakes are too high for the amount i'm looking to gain. Maybe i should be looking at 3% gain per bet rather than per day and be a lot more selective than at present Thanks for your input, its much appreciated :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Re: 3% a day Right, I'm going to be offline for a couple of days now (got to do some work for a change :( ) While i'm away going to have a re-think on how best to obtain the 3% gain and how to react to a losing day. For the time being though I like Frisky's idea of just aiming to win the 3% of current bank so going on that theory heres tommorows bet £4.01 on Preston to bt Coventry @ 1.72 to give us a gain of £2.92 (3% of current bank) :hope on this one as it will bring the bank into profit If anyone else has any suggestion please let me know (apart from not chasing losses like today!!!! :spank) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Re: 3% a day Preston could only manage a 1-1 :eyes on a dodgy dial up connection at the moment so will make this short! £3.95 on Arsenal to bt Fulham and Chelsea to bt Bolton Double @ 2.42 Will update tommorow eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Re: 3% a day Another loser! :lol Bank now stands at £89.57 so £3.21 go's on Nancy to bt Feyenoord @ 1.83 to get the 3% for today :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Re: 3% a day so £3.21 go's on Nancy to bt Feyenoord @ 1.83 to get the 3% for today :) Well Nancy beat Feyenoord 3-0 so next bet is as follows £2.69 on VFB Stuttgart -0.5 to bt Mainz @ 2.025 Current Bank = £89.55 (1 bet pending) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
