Two weeks later and really struggling

Well its about two weeks now since my last post and its been an extremely frustrating time my plans for making a fulltime income from betting never seemed so far away, most of the time I have found it difficult to even place the few bets I could of as its so annoying knowing that I was heading in the right direction to now being right back to square one.

With work at the moment its extremely difficult to get most bets on and even when I can I find it hard knowing am relying on a few bets literally one result makes or breaks a day... I have been practising trading on football with mixed results just as I thought I cracked It had a major set back so massive learning curve there still I also took a look at trading on the tennis off back of some of Nathans advice and had a few good results but I wouldn't be confident staking any real money on tennis at this point

Back To The Drawing Board

There is no point dwelling on what's happened I just got to get on with it and find a solution I am going to stay with Racing Post Longshot as I can place the bet with no pressure also going to stay with Daily Bargain and ProBets as these bets can usually be placed night before so these are easy to follow and upto now all profitable in addition to this I am going to keep chipping away at the trading there is some real opportunity's here I feel although I also realise it wont be easy consistently getting a profit trading

Last Two Weeks

To be blunt its not been good I missed a few winners to add to my misery and upped my stakes so a loss of £355 over the two weeks this was including my trading obviously not good and couldn't continue to do that week in week out but poor discipline from me was a big factor here as a couple of winners I missed out on would of made a huge difference and the upped stakes was just pure and simply lack of patience.

Fresh Challenge

Now I have got my head around the situation I am actually looking forward to the fresh challenge it has taken me a couple of weeks to adapt but It was a massive change and extremely frustrating but am looking forward now and will see what the next week brings

a rocky start but i got there in the end.

The past weeks trading hasn’t gone as well as I had originally hoped but despite my hopes being dashed I still managed to make a profit even if it was only £45.41 for the week. I had imagined that I would be making a lot more from trading on tennis by now but it seems to be a little steadier than I thought. I did have a couple of nightmare days though the week were I couldn’t back or lay at the right time to save my life and then other days it just managed to drop right every time making up for the losses with an added bit of profit I think that the aim for the next few weeks is to just upscale all of my trades and hopefully I will make a lot more but that’s easier said than done.

The start of the week got off to a flyer with a profit of £15.37 for the day but after this it just seemed to go downhill with a terrible day on Tuesday bringing a £12.28 loss and then Wednesday made a loss despite the very first trade of the day making me £2.08 and the total loss was £5.09. Thursday was the worst day by far with a massive loss of £21.92 but then the weekend bounced back with ever increasing profits right up to Sunday with the best trade that I have ever done so far.

A few of the best trades of the week

Mondays best trades

Wednesdays best trades

                                                                 Fridays best trades

Saturdays best trades

best for last

another week learning the ropes

The first complete week of trading has gone well for me with a total profit of £38.26 which isn’t bad to say that I have only been trading for a couple of weeks but that’s not to say that I didn’t have some rocky days last week with 4 out of the 7 days losing money. I think that I have just about got my head around trading on tennis and I hope that I can learn the odds movement in other sports so I can spread my risk and make more profit.

Last weekend and the first couple of days of this week didn’t go well for me with every day making a loss but I only did one trade per day and I didn’t start making a profit until midweek and this is when I started doing multiple trades a day again

Here are a few of the best trades over the week.

Wednesdays trade

Thursdays trades

Fridays trade

 

Nightmare

Due to changes at work its practically impossible to manage the betting work load so had to have a major re-think in terms of how to move forward I was just building a nice portfolio of tipsters but last week was a complete write off as I didn't even attempt to bet instead spent most of the week trying to plan the best move forwards. I've not been in this position before and I must admit its really frustrating to know exactly what to do for the best but I have a few ideas so am going to try a few this week then take it from there.

In terms of tipsters I can still follow its going to be really limited I'm going to stay on with Longshot bets from Racing Post and Daily Bargain as these involve minimal effort to follow there are others that I could follow but for now just going to follow these I also will look to continue with my Football Bets and take another look at trading as I would have more time to trade on night games I know Nathan has been trading on tennis and has shared his thoughts with me but im not much of a tennis fan so I'm going to attempt to trade football and see how I proceed with that once the International l games are finished. I also will be looking to resume with my Rollover Challenge as this has potential to be successful and could prove to be a real gem come the end of each year.

Ideally I was targeting £50 per day but with a real cut back on the tipster front am not sure how possible this will be the big part will depend on how successful my trades and football bets are and of course the stakes I use I will have an update next week and see how this week pans out.

still learning

The last couple of days trading was a bit disappointing making an overall loss on Wednesday and Thursday but at this point I’m not that really bothered about making either profit or loss because if it means that in the future I am able to make money without really risking anything that’s got to be the end goal in my opinion. At the minuet I am only trading on tennis but to be honest I don’t really know the sport as well as I should and maybe that’s the reason that I haven’t made as much money as I had hoped. I’m looking forward to the Sochi formula 1 race coming up so maybe I will be able to make a bit extra money.

Wednesday altogether I did 3 trades on tennis but didn’t make anything from them. Here is the best of the three trades that I had.

Tuesdays trading went a little bit better than Wednesdays but still making a small loss. I suppose if I can get to the point where week in week out I am making money surely I will eventually be able to scale it up. Here are a few of the best trades that I did on Thursday.

fresh start trying something new

Didn’t have a single bet over the weekend, it was just ridiculous the amount of money that I have been losing on a day to day basis recently so I just thought its best to have a break and in the process I had an idea. A few week ago I made a small profit trading on the formula 1 so I thought why not just give that a shot starting from next week

I did a bit of research and found that one of the best sports that a lot of people trade on was tennis and I was surprised to find out that tennis is on almost every day perfect for me to practise on. Throughout Monday and Tuesday I had a few trades most of the trades that I had didn’t make me anything or very little I did however do a couple that made me a decent profit considering.

Monday: I had a total of 6 trades on Monday only a couple made me a profit and I broke even on the others.

Tuesdays trading went slightly better making a decent profit on two of the trades that I did out of a total of 3 trades, but the main thing is that I have managed to wrap my head around it.

Weekend Away

Well it didn’t turn out to be a good week in the end and with a short week and no weekend bets due to me going away for the weekend once I got behind there was just no turning things round

In the end I only had one tipster in profit and typically was a free tipster as a whole a frustrating week and whenever you miss bets like I did at the weekend you always wonder what would of happened obviously it could of gone bad to worse of I could have had some sort of recovery in truth when I don’t bet I just don’t even check the results I would rather not know.

 

This weeks profits

The biggest profit this week came from the Rollover Challenge bets which has now completed a series of five winners in a row which was fantastic in every way as I wasn’t sure if I could even do it I only risk £5 initially so its not a major loss at any time and if/when you do drop five in a row it’s a good profit

The only other profit come from Stable Insider with them backing Peace Accord 7/2 to win 

Not Much happening

The Banker had a quite week with only one bet, Longshot I only got on two bets and GG Bet Advisor had no bets through the week, Lately The Banker has been in good form and winners from either Longshot or GG Bet Advisor would make a huge difference to my profits at the end of the week

Bad Week

Pounds to Punters struggles go on however please note I do only back 9/1+ bets advised so they actually could be achieving much better results than me but I only focus on there bets that are 9/1+ initially when I did this they got off to a flyer but the profits have now dwindled away and am currently in a small loss over all for them which is very disappointing but I can only see better times ahead so going to stick with it

Probet have been in fantastic form lately but struggled this week with 5/5 losing bets

Pricewise Extra hit one of there slumps with no winner insight but that never concerns me too much as they usually balance out and with big odds on certain bets can quickly turn things around

NH Confidential had no luck either this week as they had 5/5 losing bets

Roundup

All in all very frustrating week and a loss of £256.39 to show for it but I got to just brush it off and focus on the long-term its too easy to get suckered into thinking on a day to day or week to week basis in reality its about making profit but its about making profit on a month to month year to year basis its no good hitting profit 3 out of 4 weeks but then making a loss on the month

#Rollover Challenge Day 19

Well its only taken until Day19 on the Rollover Challenge to get five winners in a row which has resulted in a £250.29 profit after 19 bets so at this point would be fair to say its been a success obviously to make a profit over the year I need to do this again but with a £250 buffer the pressure is now off and have 50bets before I am gambling my own money...

So the winning bet was as followed

My new Favourite bet The draw at half time obviously only betting on certain games that I feel are more likely to win

 

As you can see 0-0 at half time so another winner I think I am going to stick with this bet more often as I seemed to find most success so far

 

So back to £5 stakes and lets see if I can do it all over again

 

Stakes for next bet is £5

still no profit in sight

Feeling slightly suicidal after Wednesday and Thursday with a loss of £135, soon I won’t have any money left to lose. Altogether I had 15 bets over the two days, 7 on Wednesday and 8 on Thursday out of all the bets that I had only 3 of them were winners and they all came from the same tipster. The winning horses that got me the most money back was finding your feet and the jockey was A P Macoy. Finding your feet is a 6 year old gelding that has only won one previous race before this one

Bettingexpert: by far these were the best tipster that I had used with all of the winning bets coming from them. They gave me 8 tips altogether with 3 of them going on to win the race they were in and in the process help stem the loss. The amount that I put on their tips came to £95 and the amount that I got back from them was £105 so that leaves me with a profit of £10.

gg.com: I took a total of 6 tips from this tipster over Wednesday and Thursday with none of them winning. The amount that I put on their tips was £120 and I dint get a penny back. I suppose that it is partially my fault really because I choose to go for the tips that would bring me the most amount of profit but maybe I might have to change the way I pick the tips

Betadvisor: gave me a single tip on Thursday and just what I expected it didn’t win making me a loss of £15 I think that my luck has well and truly run out. But surely I am overdue a big profit day I hope it comes soon.
