aldric Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Following on from a few of the threads recently about making a certain % on each bet I have decided to have a go myself. I will be starting with a £50 bank and am looking to 'win' 0.5% (including commission) each bet with the scary stake recovery method (martingale!) if there is a losing bet. I am not looking for .5% every day, some days I won't get the chance to bet and others I am hoping for quite a few bets. I will be betting on odds around 1.20 - 1.35 which should give me 3 or 4 attempts before I bust. I am going to be betting on betmate, due to the 3% commission. Bet 1. Rangers V W.Bremen UNDER 3.5 goals 76p @ 1.33 to win 25p. Aldric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am usually anything but sensible, but I have realised that patience is the key and 0.5% each bet although starts off at pennies certainly adds up over time.... and I am HOPING this lasts a LONG time :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madnesstiger Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Re: Long Term Glory....... Nice one Aldi! ;) That was my problem I think in the past - I veered away from sticking to the required odds that the rules of the system required, and ended up chasing bets which I shouldn't have placed in the first place. My '100% Madness' thread shows how I started with a strict system in place, and through my new-found better money-management and discipline, manageged to double the bank initially (which was my main target), but also have transformed the £6.75 of 'odd change' into (so far) an extra £136. This part of the thread doesn't follow a system as such, but I added the selections just to help me stay disciplined in my placing of bets. I found it does help by posting selections on the forum, as it makes you think more about the selection before you actually put your money down. Keep focused fella :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldric Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Re: Long Term Glory....... Final day in the cricket tonight and England had a great night for a change meaning that any result is possible tonight.... The draw is still the likely outcome IMO. When England bat they will probably lose an early wicket and they won't want to lose the game so will continue their low scoring.... Will have to wait and see. 1st bet for today in the FA Cup: 908/03/20080.25BACK Man U to BEAT Portsmouth0.741.34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being Scottish I don't enjoy placing bet 10, but I just can't see any other result than England winning at Murryfield today :( Scotland just don't score any points, I was tempted to back Scotland +20.5 @ 1.31 but even that seems risky :\ 908/03/20080.25BACK Man U to BEAT Portsmouth0.741.340-1-0.74£0.511008/03/20080.99BACK England to BEAT Scotland 6 Nations3.671.27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
