Aug 2024 £3000 - ? Bank Challenge

[Richard Latimer]

Somewhere along the line in Aug I made a mistake totalling p/l when I should have let betfair calculate it for me. It's impossible to see exactly what that was anymore but it's a couple of quid at most.

I know the starting amount in August was £89.41 so my title is misleading. Going to sort that out. I know by the end of Aug I had deposited £35.00 in August. (checked my statements tonight - I'm not counting anything before Aug as it was essentially a new venture at that point and it's misleading for me).

After winnings of around £30.00 in Aug and the £35.00 bank deposits the bank had made it from £89.41 - £155.05.

I can be 100% sure that my losses in Sept were - £45.96
I can also be 100% sure that my profit in Oct was +£42.94
And although I though it was more I can 100% say my profit for Nov was £6.57

Deposits Sept through Nov amount to a further £60 so it's £95.00 in total + the £89.41 I started with.

So to summarise

£184.41 total investment on this project
Current bank £220.78
£220.78 less £184.41 = £36.37

It's a lot better than I thought anyway.

Crusaders not so nice and eeasy but an outlier entered just after 60 mins @ 1-0 finally sees another goal on 84 mins. Means the month ends in green and that's 2 months consecutive profits after a bad month in Sept.

It's a long long long way from where I want to be and I'm disappointed not to have exploded after Oct but nevertheless I do feel I am making steady progress toward my end goal.

Bank is £220.78
Profit today £2.69

For November as a whole £6.57 (thought it was more like £10-£11 so more disappointment haha!)

For the whole damn shebang..........I'm going to have to work it out. Just realised betfair p/l only goes back 3 months.

[Richard Latimer]

One more push to finish the month as well as possible:

[Richard Latimer]

And after today it's back up to £218.09 after a £2.69 gain.

[Richard Latimer]

Sunday update:

This excludes Waregem which was an outlier and therefore entry was at a much reduced price. Top range re-assessed and trade would not be repeated. As is, still a loss @4.3

France is on hold for a bit having already ruled out 0-0/1-1 where that's concerned I now have to watch and see what develops there. 13 selections and 1 loss.

First qualifier in Poland 1 so a loooooooong way to go there.

Only 2nd qualifier in Greece Super so almost as long there.

Another win in Belgium 2 so that one is a little closer to where I would trust it.

-£7.78 and bank pulled back to £215.40

Just Emmen as a potential tonight.

That one a nice easy win

[Richard Latimer]

Just Emmen as a potential tonight.

[Richard Latimer]

As always I will work through my updates and post a full update tomorrow or as soon as I can.

[Richard Latimer]

Late goal from Napoli means day comes to a close at -£8.00 ish

Annoying after yesterday but the weekend was profitable across 3 days and there are still 2 days left.

Month is also small green at present.

[Richard Latimer]

Easier update for yesterday as not so much:

Regionalliga Bayern is just collecting data
Eupen was an outlier where goal came too quickly
Same with Always Ready

Already discussed Lieefering which was a nice win but after consideration I wouldn't make again at present.

Today is almost certainly a small loss, just a question of how much. Right now it's the equivalent to perhaps 3-4 wins so not so bad. 3 more potentials left although prob leave France after Montpellier drew a blank earlier.

[Richard Latimer]

Busier day today:

I don't know why so I'm not doing anything about it now but home odds of 1.55-1.66 haven't done very well on the 2-0 scoreline. Just putting it out there and if the situation arises today I may well skip.

One more potential in Bolivia but it's almost a Sunday game. 3/3 so far on what has been a quiet day. Updating now.

Bolivian game makes it 4/4 but I have since decided the Liefering game is in a data range I'm not quite comfortable with at the moment so it's still 3/3 really. Also a couple of others qualifying as outliers but goals came too quickly. Will finish update in the morning.

Bank back at £223.18
+£12.54

This is it for today:

[Richard Latimer]

Liefering qualifies as a slight outlier. Leaving unmatched lay @ 4.2

For anyone who wants to know why my updates take so long by the way, it's because I am collecting and storing so much data on each game and not just the games that qualify or the leagues I am currently trading.

nice work, are you spotting some good trends on this? I'm doing something similar with the ratings at the moment.

I can spot the potential pitfalls for no goals and hence a reverse to the system could be possible if I wanted to go that way in time. Plus I'm still tracking FHG.

But the beauty is if I ever do want to scan through the data for something else I can.

Will post up Sat in the morning. Nothing until 10:30 anyway.

[Richard Latimer]

Helsingor from a league I have nowhere near enough data on yet.
Volendam the outlier I missed when trying for lower price as already mentioned.
