@richard-latimer sounds like things are looking up mate great to hear, enjoy the new adventure!

[Richard Latimer]

Forgot to post up current bank and staking moving forward.

It's going to take me a while to get through the update, not the least because I've been looking at the plethora of online dating sites tonight as soon to be ex wife went on first date today and I'm damn sure I don't want to get left behind.

Anyone any experience of bumble haha??

So things are a little better for me financially than they have been. Not in the short short term but moving foward. We've agreed the house has to be sold as for either of us trying to rent with no capital would be an absolute nightmare. So we clear debts and split 50/50 meaning I'll have a decent chunk of change to start over.

Always knew I'd be ok in the long long term but not going to lie the short term was getting a little hairy. This is a weight off my mind for sure.

So the finances are looking up
The trading is looking up
And I've just clicked like instead of swipe on my first which is a big step haha!!

4/4 Bank is at a new high. Will detail everything later.

Todays results in full:

Although I was incredibly confident of another goal in the Fulham match I hadn't realised that this was the first game in 3,500 with 7 FHG. I actually had to add another column. Perhaps if I'd realised I wouldn't have been quite so confident. It's fair to say, I may not jump in again with such limited data but all well today.

Accrington was a definite and Braga added another bit of data to Portugal which is ticking along nicely. Feyeenoord was in outlier territory so wasn't a trade this time. All in all it a decent enough day.

[Richard Latimer]

2/2 today and +£5.70
Bank £248.68 so back in the green for Jan

@richard-latimer Now that is an interesting SS Richard.Very helpful for newbies and those who are still learning. I see there are 2 Leagues, NET Eerste, GER Regionalliga Sudwest, and English National League that I don't have.

Is there good liquidity in these markets

Ok, good day again:

Someone said recently how things can be going great and then they can see something and try as they might they can't unsee it. When the genie is out of the bottle etc....

Well there was nothing I could do about yesterday unless I want to throw out every single loss (would make the data highly unreliable and unrealistic) but having looked again it's the 2nd loss @ 2-1 HT scoreline from only 6 selections in the Eerste. This would very much be a losing proposition.

It's not unreasonable to believe these statistics will correct themselves over time but I've benefitted by being cautious many times and when I ignore red flags I usually regret it.

Also, if a poorly performing league can be rescued by excluding certain scorelines then doesn't it stand to reason a league in good profit could potentially be improved using the same logic?!

Long story short, 2-1 in the Eerste is on the back burner until I have data to show it's profitable which in fairness means another 10 without loss.
