Aug 2024 £3000 - ? Bank Challenge

[Richard Latimer]

It's going to take a long time to get anything on this but I'm going to start keeping a list of the teams that fail most frequently as well as the leagues. It may be that after a few years you could look at it and say, well there's nothing wrong with the league at all once you take these losers out haha!!

[Richard Latimer]

A 97th minute goal in Orlando very welcome. Here's the rest:

Revised staking in line with percentage increase of bank:

[Richard Latimer]

Only about halfway through updating and I'll carry on that tomorrow. In the meantime here's some overnighters for the States. Now I'm off to watch a film before bed.

@john-folan I know what you're saying but I have around 6 and a half to 7 and a half months to build as big a bank as possible. These are not ordinary times unfortunately. That's not to say I know every month will be great but if I base it on the huge amount of data I am beginning to amass there certainly shouldn't be many losing months.

@richard-latimer brilliant, is this total all from the original amount have you added?

No, I've been adding £5.00 a week. In fact the system is still only around £5.00 in credit. Important thing for me is I know that if I can do it once I can do it again. I'm slowly cutting out all the silly mistakes, poor leagues and the outliers which have been hurting me. The FHG is on pause as I said because until I have decent data from each league I don't trust it to make money.

For Aug I was £30.00 up after a nightmare start.
For Sept I had another nightmare start and this time couldn't get it back. Ended up -£45.00
For this month I'm already £20.00 up so I know how quickly things can change.

We cannot look at this on a monthly basis. Got to be quarterly at least. It’s tough but that’s the breaks

Well done Richard. Your perseverance is paying off. There are definite improvements to what you are doing. Stick to your guns mate

Thanks, I know I can do it, I know the data is good, just a question of cutting out the things that are hurting me right now and slowly I'm doing it.

Finally a perfect 13/13 and +£19.89 today.

I'll post the full update later.

Bank now £159.34.

[Richard Latimer]

Hamburger II would normally be a play but I've noticed that home odds lower than 1.6 not performing at all well and playing it safe.

[Richard Latimer]

Todays list after cutting away all of the untested or poorly performing leagues:

[Richard Latimer]

Of course there was also the loss in Ger not in the above table as it wouldn't be repeated going forward.

7/8 and the tiniest of profit. An improvement on the last 2 months opening day/night anyway!

The profit wasn't enough to move the bar on stakes other than a single penny increase on highest odds. These are now £1.16.

[Richard Latimer]

Woohoo 35p profit haha

[Richard Latimer]

Here's the rest

LCS BFC Dynamo and Antalyaspor

Will I ever learn. Well yes in time. Just so annoying it has to be this way.

There is almost always a reason to avoid big numbers as much as there is to avoid small ones. There aren't many of the big numbers, they aree outliers and a return to the mean is due at any point. 1/2 with a fairly quick goal in Turkey and then a Turkey in Germany.

Nothing happening tomorrow until around 5pm so I'll post before then.

[Richard Latimer]

I forgot a critical part of what I'm doing right now which not everybody may agree with but there's my regular investment of £5.00 to go onto the bank making it £139.09
