Coming towards the end of the month, will do some analysis on my strategies in a few days but how has everyone's month gone?

@John-Folan had one this week where I backed the draw in Wigan game prematch set and forget, saw the score 0-0 at 90+5 and thought nice a winner. Goal in 90+20

@Dan-MacKinnon that's why a break even day is such an anti-climax!

I don’t mind them. Especially when I’ve looked earlier and I was down. Not so keen the other way round lol

@John-Folan haha I love that! May start using that phrase in some content, you are so right!

I've got to the point where I actually enjoy the surprise of logging in and finding out what happened

You make it sound like a gameshow. "Will it be higher or lower? Drum roll please...."

@John-Folan that's where a protfolio of strategies helps isn't it, plus very strict bankroll management

Absolutely. Bankroll management is so important. Not over staking etc

@John-Folan that's the thing with set and forget the variance can be wild but the good strategies will recover over time, problem is how many people are going to stick out 3 losing months in a row?

@John-Folan interesting so short odd lays going well, I know the one I had tanked a bit last year.

June was a weird month last year. Have a look at Beaten Faves as well. Recovery has been good

@John-Folan what are you go to strategy types at the moment?

Short odds lays. All weather lays and my dob/trobs I am testing

@Tony-Hastie take it you are using a bot?

[Tony Hastie]

@John-Folan My DOB strategy has been going quite well too...then suddenly, a few weeks ago I stopped getting the volume of selections I was. Ive had about 4 selections in 3 weeks! Must be the all weather tracks...

My lay the 3rd fav variant is having a blinder too, 40 points up since I posted it on the forward testing thread. The graph(in the software) says Im 13 points down this month but thats not the case...and I dont really want to look into why that is

[John Folan]

Short odds good today plus profit on the dobs and trobs. Cannot argue with that. Another month and I’ll share the dobs and trobs properly. Want to continue real money testing for a bit.

[John Folan]

Bit of a slow January. Developing a dobbing strategy that seems to be ok. Will post once tested properly.

Short odds lays ticking over can’t moan too much

Really need a decent backing strategy
