TheRock_Discipline Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 The Rock's Best Favourite Instead of mixing all my bets into one thread I'm going to open one thread for each kind of betting now. This thread will focus on backing the favourite in football matches. Average odds will presumably be around 1.3 but can vary. I also realized that a profit target is not the ideal motivation for me. I will play a little imaginary championship against the bookmaker. If the team I bet on wins I get 3 points, with a draw 1 point (of course draw = de facto loss) and a loss 0 points just like in real football. At the end of each season (30 matches/bets) I will be... ... CHAMPION with 72 points or more ... 2nd with 69-71 points ... 3rd with 65-68 points ... 4th with 60-64 points ... 5th with 55-59 points ... ... not necessary I hope I just don't like to look at my bank all the time. Especially after I lost. :eyes I will have a look at the profits or losses at the end of each season.:beer Starting bank: 1000 units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRock_Discipline Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Re: TheRock's BF lol... FT 2-2 I expected that it will be very difficult for me to be in profit zone. But this strike rate is just becoming too costly already and I have to stop right here. Too much money and confidence lost with this system. Rather invest my time in Under/Over 2.5 which suits me much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
