Aug 2024 £3000 - ? Bank Challenge
-
Almost missed KA for some reason but given how I'd got lucky in laying the Kazak game at much lower odds (detailed above) I was in front of where I otherwise would have been. Decided a lay of 4.2 made sense on this occasion.
Win and it was around 2/3 of what I should have got laying at kick off price. Lose and I was looking at a little less than I would have at the lower odds/higher stake.
All worked out in the end.
New bank high and one overnighter to come in Paraguay.
-
Much much better day after the first one lost.
Very pleased with that start to Sept.
-
The smallest of gains in the end but at least I didn't lose:
Things must improve though and they must improve quickly.
-
Ok 2-1 Kaisar and I got in and laid the rest @1.45
-
So the month ends on a bum note. Danish game heading for a L and Kazak game started early and I didn't get the price I wanted so only partially matched at present.
-
Looks like an interesting start to Sept too.
If I can just get through this weekend and hopefully boost monthly profit over 10% I'll be happy. Real work starts Sunday I guess with more winter leagues now coming into action:
-
5 to go. Still in profit.
I think the one thing I can be pleased about this month is that with such significantly higher stakes my mental game hasn't suffered as a result. By and large I've just looked and dealt with it the same.
With so few games, although my virtual bank is much much higer, I haven't actually had to dig into the real bank for anymore than £50 at present.
-
2/3 again and a small loss on variable staking. Satisfying to see Columbus win after price on Philadelphia plummeted when everyone saw the team sheet and started saying Columbus were playing their B side.
-
I was wondering why Uruguayan game is once again cancelled. Defender died today after collapsing on pitch a few days ago. This explains all the recent cancellations in that league.
-
Potential to be a busy end to the month!
-
Updated set of fixtures (home lays) for the next few hours/overnight. Doesn't often happen but 2 selections turns into 4:
-
More to add. Hoping to build towards a respectable position for Aug and a decent base from which to build/take off:
-
Update - Two home lays to look at now:
-
All Uruguayan games were postponed this weekend until 28th by the way
-
Nothing until Wednesday now:
-
Recovered from the initial set back to make a small profit. Also very close to having made up for the Korean debacle in week 2 of this month. Profit still needs to improve massively but it's never going to be too easy to do that while selections remain so thin on the ground.
Think Sept could be the launchpad there.
-
Annoying overnight loss but Paraguay is still good. Nothing changes and hope to get some kind of a run going.
South Korea has been the difference this month and one I didn't post for today in Korea League 2 on course for another loss. Although still 10 minutes for that to change (Bucheon).
Kalmar odds way higher but I am more confident in the higher odds as they they very rarely lose. We'll see.
-
6 home lays across Sat/Sun - Majority of Winter Leagues still to kick in:
-
-
1-3, that's more like it.
