Looks like a terrible bet already, 3 more goals and it's dead!

L'prof · 24-08-2010 9:35pm

5 minutes injury time and it's 3-1 at the moment, one more goal for Bremen to qualify and knock by bet flat on it's arse!

Maybe I should use the same format as Bestake? When I say €3.26 Lay, I mean €15 matched.

Profit: €3.10 | Banked €0.62 | Balance €17.48

Best of luck! Will follow with interest.

Your going bearish on goals, so let every game you pick end up 0-0

Cheers man.

Like I was saying before, I don't have the bankroll to start with what you have, so I'll have to take more risk initially. More rish means more profit though I guess

Very true - you risked €15 quid to win back €3, I risked around €1,350 to win back €8!

Interesting. I'd really like to try something like this... I just need to figure out Betfair.

Good luck mate!

Betfair is a load of bóllóx to be honest. Horrible site, navigation, mobile site, etc. Ragin with my bet above, it's not until tomorrow at 5, so my money is tied up until then. My fault in part, but God that website is horrendous!!!

Dinamo Minsk v Club Brugge

€19.28 Matched Over 4.5 @ 9.0

I think I actually got the price and amount matched wrong. Edited above. I'm just going to assume that this wins and carry on as appropriate adjusting the log as needed tomorrow...

So, that would leave me with €21.23 to play with.

Zilina v Sparta Prague

€21.18 Matched Over 4.5 Goals @ 10.5

Big chance of a double whammy here, but I would have been so annoyed with myself otherwise

Bet hasn't been matched yet and may not be. Odds offered on Betfair were ridiculous, so I offered my own.

Bet wasn't matched, but I wasn't prepared to lay at the price on Betfair since the back price was about a third of it!

I suppose I'll carry on. 2 pens and a late goal in the Minsk game.

Pleasantly surprised to be showing a profit considering I lost a bet. Not sure whether to carry on with the €39.50 or the €18.85.

Profit: €8.25 | Banked: €4.40 | Balance: €18.85

Toluca v CD Olimpia

€39.48 Matched Under 1.5 Goals @ 5.1

That didn't take me long to decide!!! I'm heading on holidays tomorrow night, so I probably won't be placing any bets for a week, so I thought I may as well.

Bestake · 26-08-2010 11:09pm

Your going well! The losses can set back a lot of good work, but at least it's low risk and returns are decent!

Enjoy the hols, and keep with it - you could revolutionise the lay!:D

I'm actually enjoying it to a certain extent...apart from posting bets

I've let my other log slide at the moment, I must update that soon.

Revolutionise the lay??? Haha, I seriously doubt it, but I'll give it a go. Good to see you're still going strong anyway.

Oh yeah, I did up a nasty formula in excel to calculate the amount I should be banking after each win

Brisbane v Wellington

I was going to lay 5 goals or more in this match, but I have to verify details to use the Australian wallet on Betfair. Too much hassle really.

JJK v Lahti

€47.46 Matched Over 4.5 Goals @ 9.4

I was just looking at this market again, correct me if I'm wrong but, I think if I'm making these bets I might sometimes be better off backing under 4.5 goals rather than laying over 4.5 goals.

At the moment this bet is @ 9.8 to lay over 4.5 goals and @ 1.12 to back under 4.5 goals.

So laying would return 52.85 and backing would return 53.16. I know 0.6% is hardly worth worrying about, but I'd prefer to have it in my pocket than someone else's. This may not always be the case, but I'll check it out every time I do this bet from now on and back accordingly. Even though I stated in my thread that this was a "Lay Log", I think it amounts to the same thing in this market.
