Think i might get back in on this.
I signed up to betfair right at the start of the thread, played for a bit, then lost it all on the safest bet i made (1.02 or something :()

Anyway, today i was looking for a stream to watch the Celtic vs Inverness CT match and i found a site which told me that bet365 were streaming it. Signed up and found out they were'nt :mad: (there was a lot of other games that the site said were live streamed on bet365 which were'nt)

Anyway, i had a wee play about with the minimum deposit i had put in (£10). It has the worst interface of any betting site i'v used. Cashed out at £23, so i'll put a tenner back into my betfair account and try again :)

Steering clear of Barca this weekend. They have wiped me out both of the last 2 weekends. Sitting at £52 from the £10 I started with on Monday.

Have deviated slightly today though, have it all on Celtic to beat Inverness CT as out all day so won't get more than 1 bet in.

Knew it was worth steering clear of Barca :D
 
OUT!

Bet on less than 4.5 goals at 60mins and the score 1-1...but West Brom are now 1-4 up. :(

Lost my £50 stake...but to be fair that was won from £5.

I got up to £80.80.
 
It is that sort of result which prove that this is not a guaranteed way to make 'easy money'.

Hopefully no one lost too much on it.

easy to lose it all indeed.
the only sure way to make money is to withdrawy 50% everytime you double up but i guess on each actual bet your only making maybe 20-50p most of the time if you keep it small
 
Had a 'mare of a day today. Lost £35 on the Panathinaikos game but have finished the day only £6 down overall. If I'd been putting the whole pot on every bet (as is the plan at the beginning of the thread) I'd have been down to £0 several times now :/

I did this one too, placed a bet with about 20 minutes left, at 2-0 on <3.5. Checked at about 88 minutes and thought it was safe.

luckily i wasn't all in.

withdrawn £100 today, started at £20. So i'm still up.

Lost on the man city game too bet over 1.5 goals. down to £30 in my account now, so going to start playing safer.

Had £24 in my account so decided to get back in, when/if I reach £100 I'll be taking out £50 so I'm in a position where I have lost nothing.

Here's to playing safer this time round.

Agreed, since i got over £150 i've been putting £50 on slightly riskier bets and (1.1/1.2 or so) and its been working fairly well so far.

Obviously i've also been punting the whole lot on very very safe bets (3-0 at 80 mins etc)
 
Back up to £34 :)

£36 if these next bets come in.

When theres a lot of football on, I'm splitting it 3 or even 4 ways. Find its easier to risk it that little more with 1.03s or 1.04s for a little higher profit margin.

It's going to fail again, but I think I was too into it before. Just going to place bets when I can be bothered now.
 
Good work. I think this is something I'll continue to do for a long time after I've lost each time. Just good fun and not really expensive really.

I banked £100 from my initial pot as I needed some cash for taking the wife away at the weekend which took me down a bit but I'm up to £280 again now :)
