THE BETTING THREAD

[double d]

Its 8 a.m. is betting all you think about?

[Sanguine]

We know it is.

TF - it really isn't tough to stay disciplined. It's betting, not eating chocolate cake. It's easy not to bet. Right?

[John Smith]

I am giving you money

[Top Flight]

After the success of my 4 fold ACCA last night, I am going for the big one tonight.

Just a £2 stake which represents 1% of my bankroll. This keeps me within Sanguines stricht money management rules. This one is a 7 fold ACCA and here are the details:

Belarus v France - FRANCE @ 1.3
Bosnia v Estonia - BOSNIA @ 1.25
Cyprus v Belgium - BELGIUM @ 1.28
Switzerland v Portugal - DRAW @ 3.1
China v Iran - IRAN @ 2.2
Gosport Borough V Hampton & Richmond Borough - HAMPTON & RICHMOND @ 2.5
Sweden v Holland - DRAW @ 3.25

£2 returns £231.54 bet placed on Bet365.

On Betfair, I'm keeping it simple. I have laid off China at 3.65. If China fail to win their WCQ, I win the bet. Their game kicks off in 1 hour.
My liability: £31.80
To win: £12 (if China draw or lose)

Love this.

Another bet placed on Bet365 is the following treble:

Surely these three teams are going to win tonight. Surely.....

Belarus v France - FRANCE @ 1.3
Cyprus v Belgium - BELGIUM @ 1.28
Bosnia v Estonia - BOSNIA @ 1.25

£10 returns £20.89

If that bet comes in then Bet365 will hit the £200 mark for the first time this season.

You ditched the strict rules pretty quick.

More seriously, I'm finding you a bit creepy. You do as you please m8, I'm only offering my advice.

I haven't ditched the rules. £10 is 5%.

[Sanguine]

£31 isn't.

True, but the cost of laying a team off is always going to be higher. On the other hand, I have two out of three result outcomes covered. I figured that when it comes to laying teams off, I need to have a little bit more flexibility whilst my account size is still very small. If my account size gets bigger then I will be able to keep within the risk management rules on a lay off much easier. I won't increase my bet sizes even if my account size increases. It will represent a smaller percentage of my bank roll and fall within the money management rules.

When you started with just £20 and you bet £5, that fiver was 25% of your bankroll.

For a lay off, my betfair account is still too small. But, if I can get a little luck early on then I will be able to really keep within the risk management rules going forward.

[Sanguine]

Christ m8, that's a long-winded way of saying 'I'm not going to manage my bankroll'. You could have placed a lay bet of £2, for a liability of around £6.

I am going to manage my bankroll. The only betting type that I am giving some flexibility to is the lay off on Betfair. The Betfair Lay off wins very often.

[jd82]

The lay on betfair wins literally every time

So you aren't going to manage your bankroll then.
You only win a Lay bet if your bet wins. Same as the others.

Those who can't find a way will find an excuse.

Or you could just be like me and bet smarter.

After the success of my 4 fold ACCA last night, I am going for the big one tonight.

Just a £2 stake which represents 1% of my bankroll. This keeps me within Sanguines stricht money management rules. This one is a 7 fold ACCA and here are the details:

Belarus v France - FRANCE @ 1.3
Bosnia v Estonia - BOSNIA @ 1.25
Cyprus v Belgium - BELGIUM @ 1.28
Switzerland v Portugal - DRAW @ 3.1
China v Iran - IRAN @ 2.2
Gosport Borough V Hampton & Richmond Borough - HAMPTON & RICHMOND @ 2.5
Sweden v Holland - DRAW @ 3.25

£2 returns £231.54 bet placed on Bet365.

On Betfair, I'm keeping it simple. I have laid off China at 3.65. If China fail to win their WCQ, I win the bet. Their game kicks off in 1 hour.
My liability: £31.80
To win: £12 (if China draw or lose)

Love this.

These two bets are now already settled. Iran failed to win in China so my 7 fold accumulator has lost. I won't be winning £231.54 tonight. I lost £2 on that bet. Thanks to following Sanguine's stricht money management rules, I didn't lose very much at all. So I'm still happy.

On the plus side, Iran didn't lose either, so my lay off of China netted me £12 profit on Betfair. My position as it currently stands is:

Bet365: £180
Betfair: £207

If France, Belgium and Bosnia all win tonight against Belarus, Estonia and Cyprus then Bet365 will be hitting the £200 mark for the first time this evening.

To be honest, I find it very difficult to resist chocolate cake as well.

[Sanguine]

Pleased you have finally given up the pretence of the last few weeks.

[Winston Smith]

France, Bosnia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Belgium.

£5 returns £17.36

The French are really struggling to get through Belarus tonight. It's a lot like the England game the other night.

The French have twice come very close in the last few minutes. Surely the winner is coming soon.
