I've just put everything on under 2.5 in the Brentford game. 
Soldato
looks like an ok bet
Don
It's now 2-0.

when did you do that?? was it before kick off ?? Can't have been in play as it was 0-2 after 6 mins!!
ouchy!
That's why i steer clear of that sort of bet.
It's only 1 goal needed to kill you, at least with under 4.5 or 5.5 goals you need 5 or 6 goals to kill you
Don
10mins left to play at 1-0 Charlton, they've just scored in the 90th.
Soldato
I went on under 2.5 just after Charlton scored, got odds of 1.2 which I thought was pretty good given how little time was left. I'm up to £13.91 from the £10 I put in this afternoon with that money on under 5.5 goals in Fulham v Arsenal at 1.06.

Winnings = bet * oddsCould you please post the formulas for the simple minded amongst us
Commission = winnings * [whatever commission percent you are charged]
New balance = winnings - commission
% increase = ( ( new balance - bet ) / bet ) * 100
daily target = bet * [your target percentage]
ahead of target = new balance - daily target
***This only works if you bet your entire bank balance each time***

If you use Betfair you may as well just use their betting history page rather than making a brand new spreadsheet.
It's a nice idea
I'm going to start with a £10 bank and give this a go
I tried it about two years ago with Betfair, started with £10 and made it to around £200. Unfortunately, I got too cocky, put it on a bet that wasn't as sound as the other bets and lost it all.
The main rule, and memory taken from that experience is... Never deviate from the rule of 1.02. (Or whatever you've set it to)

Sounds like im gonna have to give this ago but set a target of something like £50 as i could actually do with the money 
. only problem being i don't really follow any sports so i'd be doing it purely based off the odds

I had to look up the length of a football match on wiki earlier
So I'm playing purely on the maths and the in play function.yeah - if your just using your bank then betfair give you the option to download to excel spreadsheet.
I'm just using my own this time as I have other funds in betfair that are not committed to this £10 challenge.

I think it's for retards that don't know that less than 5 goals means 4 or less, rather than 5 or less.
