stewartd14 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Basically the aim is to make a set amount per week. With a starting bank of £250, I am going to try to make £10 per day. This will be mainly through laying and most lays will be to make £5. Doing it this way, I will set limits that any LAY liability will NOT exceed 1/2 the bank. All input is welcome as it is a big risk I am taking. If I can get through the 1st 4 weeks, I will basically have covered the initial investment. Any thoughts before I start this, do you think it will work. :ok:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowles10 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Re: My attempt at making a steady profit every week Good luck Stewart, these threads are very interesting to watch & learn from. I now have the confidence to do this & am enjoying my thread trying to raise funds for Cheltenham from a bank of £20. I am also contemplating trying a similar glory hunt to yours to raise my footie season ticket money, i.e start with £100 & make £500 over about 30 bets. I think the key is to know when to take a risk & when not to. Also, if you get a chance to bank profit, it is worthwhile. The idea of split banks is also working well for a few on here & I have gone that way today to avoid losing it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think I am going to withdraw the profit every week and some of it will go towards a Cheltenham bank (a bit like yours) and some will go towards covering the initial investment in this. That way, I will never be risking more than £250 / £125 per bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munki Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Re: My attempt at making a steady profit every week Best of luck with this Stewart :ok One thing I have found from my own thread is that there is nearly always better value in laying 0-0 rather than backing 1 goal or more.It has always been a fairly small monetary advantage but anything that gives you a bit more of an edge has to be welcomed.I'm not saying it will always give you a better return but it is certainly worth checking out.

Yeah, originally I was going to lay 0-0 but it was 10.0 and 1+ goals was better value at 1,11. For some reason the odds seem to be better for 1+ goal in the Champs Lge games.

Couldnt get access to RUK because the wife was watching, you guessed it, Coronation Street. So was listening to the race on the radio and thought I would check the odds on Betfair as the radio carries a delay. To my horrow, Sharps Gold shortens from 12 to 1.04 in a couple of seconds and I get that horrible feeling that I've blown all profit that I had. However, I am sure the Gods were on my side as Silca Destination got back up on the line to win in a photo. Phew ..... Since we are well above the target for today, I am willing to invest some of it in a value LAY at a shorter price.
