From your posts you have deposited £55, you started with £59.91. your current bank is 109.85. So still a £5 loss since you came back, just trawled through to see. You are still depositing more than you are making.

I was, you're right. Can't say any more than that. There's a lot I've done in the background. If things go wrong they do but I'm looking forward. I'll deposit £5 more next Friday as well and the Friday after that. Challenge is to be matching or bettering that in profit. Based on the last 2 weeks I can do that.

We'll see.

@darri since that fateful day I've put £30 in and made £16.83 profit on the top.

The deposit is only that high as I'd put aside £5 a week to go in but wasn't going to do it until it made a difference to the calculated stake. As I had hit a sticky patch this didn't happen for a bit.

I can only go on what's happening now and at the moment it's looking good. Like I said before though, I've only given myself until the end of this month to make it work.

@richard-latimer how much is p/l and how much is this you adding money to bank?

I'll work it out in a bit but since 24 June it's been very good.

That appears to be it for the day as Gefle, the last on list potentials has just passed the point where nothing that can happen will make any difference.

I did lay under 5.5 in Dalkurd as well but didn't post as it was a late lay which ALMOST hit the trading plan. Basically scoreline didn't quite fit but as my losing lay yesterday was so.cheap I used the money saved there to put another cheap lay in as I thought there was a fair shout. Ended 5-1 so all good.

New bank £109.85

Calculated new stake £2.04

Finally over the minimum stakes hump.

Bolivia is back today but a quick look at the leagues and they haven't played since May so entirely understandable if they are rusty. Covid seems to have hurt that league more than any other. A look through scorelines in Bolivia since I started tracking these shows a distinct lack of goals in a league that usually ships them for fun.

As is, I've removed 3 potentials from todays list and will wait for 4 matches from the resumption before considering them again.

In days gone by I would have either pullled the trigger and then regretted the loss or at least watched and then prob be tempted into a bad trade. My precarious situation and the advice I have been given recently that it's now or never for me, has me looking at things in a whole new more careful and cautious light.

If I'd been able to do this a few years back I'd be light years away from where I am now. Better late than never.

@richard-latimer well done mate, that's great to hear!

Richard Latimer

2/3 today and no regrets. Each one was on the trading plan. If anything I would have noticed the Fylkir opportunity earlier and got a worse price with around 10 minutes to go. As is I laid that @ 1.24.

New bank after today is £105.99. New calculated stake for tomorrow is £1.97.

So close it's within spitting distance! A good day tomorrow and hopefully I can say goodbye to minimum stakes (for good would be nice).

11/14 trades now since 24 June so still moving in the right direction.

Here's tonights. Was getting ready for a FH trade when Thor scored in the 20th but as so often happens the 2nd was almost instantaneous. Could have got on the lay FH under 1.5 for around 2.34 but I choose to stick with my trading plan. Sometimes it sucks arse to miss them and under times I'll pay less when there is no goal so swings and roundabouts.

I often ask myself why I'm wating for these designated entry points when I missout on so many by doing so and I think the answer is twofold. One, I'm a little bit scored with a small bank of laying at the higher odds as it the betfair minimums make it tricky and I can't be bothered with the workarounds anymore.

The other reason is that guaranteed time I have between a goal going in and my entry point is the perfect time to check, double check and triple check that it's the right call.

Typical, as I say this now, that game has gone 2-1 so it's a goal fest!

Richard Latimer

It's Friday again so in goes another £5.00. New bank now £102.71.

Calculated new stake as £1.91.

Creeping nearer and nearer to the first goal. Getting past minimum stakes.

Richard Latimer

No qualifiers today and tomorrow is nothing until 19:00 so plenty of time to post.
