Aug 2024 £3000 - ? Bank Challenge

Richard Latimer

@Alex-Rendell of course I'm not chucking it in the bin. I'm still collecting data and things may well even out. It's easy enough to start trading the fixtures again.

I'm just being cautious.

There definitely are some leagues where caution is necessary. If I witness a dramatic shift in the data I won't hesitate to correct course.

As it is yesterday was another loss but still very slightly in profit from begin August.

3 fixtures and you're chucking it in the bin? If you want to be serious about this then you need a bit of perspective; we've got to be working with representative sample sizes here, no? Or do you have more data in the background that backs up your thinking? As a suggestion, maybe you shouldn't trade any league that hasn't had a minimum amount of selections, then you'll have a far better idea of whether or not that league works. Not being critical but it seems that these Korean teams aren't the only ones "sh*tting the bed"...!

I'm through with South Korea until at least next season. Need to see how the remaining fixtures pan out but so far from 3 fixtures they have all been lowish odds and 2 of them have s**t the bed.

Memory also serves me that even the winner was a clusterfuck of what could have beens. 1-0 down and down to 10 men, somehow the match was evened up to 10 a piece and shortly after an equaliser went in.

The 2nd half saw another 4 goals in a match that could have gone either way. Not prepared to risk on K League 2 either at present as last couple of weeks have been awful in these 2 leagues.

Lowest odds lays are 1.9. All home teams to be opposed:

@Akiva-Anderson My 8 and 5 year old already want lifts and money off me. What am I doing wrong?

Richard Latimer

@Akiva-Anderson I've not really reached the lift stage yet as he's not massively social. Here and there perhaps.

Most of the time he's either taking up my sofa playing Xbox in the lounge or he's up in his room on some other electronic device.

My 12 year old is usually in her room too although I imagine dad's taxi's will come into play at some point!

@Tony-Hastie I've got them. They just don't really want to spend a massive amount of time with me anymore.

I’ve a 14 year old, who just wants lifts and money from me.

@Richard-Latimer took me years to change that, not easy! Best advice is to do something else, get away from PC and phone while the game is on.

Libertad put paid to making this a profitable weekend but I did manage to claw another £100 back. Almost £150 to the good in Aug although s/r has been pretty crap all things considered:

Nothing until 14th earliest now.

Richard Latimer

How do people do this?

I don't look and I'm still consumed over what's happening

Richard Latimer

As much as the summer leagues have been profitable and given at least something to trade since May I can't wait for their effect to minimise once more.

Up until the end of May s/r is 89% coupled with ave lay odds of 4.7.

Since the beginning of June those average odds have come down to 4.1 while the s/r has fallen to 82%.

I prefer the greater consistency and occassional larger loss than the stop/start of summer leagues where it looks like teams are much more evenly matched.

Richard Latimer

Estonia odds too high but last one came through to get a bit back and mean that small or not this month is still ever so slightly in profit:

Seems like quite a bit to look at tomorrow:

Richard Latimer

Not a good start to the weekend. Beyond looking at South Korea and seeing both leagues are now in the negative there's not a lot to do. Bad results are always going to happen.

Will look at the South Korean leagues again when the season has finished. All other leagues in that region show profit.

Richard Latimer

Kept an eye, it drifted to 1.97:

Richard Latimer

Nothing until Sat it seems other than the one I already posted which I need to keep an eye on the odds. Nothing under 1.9 to lay:

Richard Latimer

@Ryan cheers for that

Ryan

@Richard-Latimer That would be cool that!

If you go to that page it should do what you need

Richard Latimer

@Ryan cheers. When everything comes to fruition we should try and get members together for a session on the beers somewhere.

In the meantime, this seems as good a place as any to ask, but how and where do I update my payment details for monthly subscription? Just recently had to change cards.
