Good.

I think you are on to something with this one. It may be more slowburning than you would like, but it will be profitable long term IF you manage it properly.

Richard Latimer

@Stuart-Capstick in general the only real changes that happen now are leagues being scrapped because of lack of volume/liquidity. Or sometimes they are moved to just tracking like the UK leagues.

I have a while to decide on my next move given the break.

Either:

Paper trade for the rest of the month. If your system is viable, then what does a few missed weeks matter?

Or

Carry on with half stakes

Don't start tinkering. You will never know if it is a good system if you keep changing parameters every 25 pieces of data.

Richard Latimer

At least vindicated leaving the Uruguayan tonight.

Richard Latimer

Let's show this month in all it's glory. It really has been atrocious!!

Some if it could have been avoided but on the whole I have to hope this is an anomaly.

Richard Latimer

After a great start today it's another small loss. Just can't stem the blood flow in Nov

Richard Latimer

I've done a lot of looking at these ahead of time due to the current blip. Firstly here they are in full along with all the relevant numbers I don't usually post:

Thats total games, h2h meets, home points scored, home away points scored, home percentage d/l, away percentage d/w, home wins, home draws, home loss, away wins, away draws, away loss, home winless, home current winninh streak, away undefeated streak, away losing streak.

So you can now see for yourself what is what.

Here's the way I see it today and what I will more than likely do.

Nice I will lay. The stats look good and France has been good on the whole.
Kilmarnock I will lay if I can get it 11.0 or under which is unknown. Scotland has been good and only 2 have lost 7.6 or over in many many games. Bahrain which will probably be scrapped as mickey mouse league next time there's a selection....and the EPL which I'm staying away from on this now.
Mallorca I will lay. Stats look good and happy enough with Laliga.

Dordrecht......could fall under odds range. Even if it doesn't this league has now given me 2 unlikely losses on the spin to negate the first 4 wins and drag it into the red.
It may well be a temporary thing but with everything riding on this one I'll probably let this one play out with no skin in the game regardless.

Rennes I will lay. See Nice.
Lech Poznan. Don't have much in Poland yet but the odds are lowish, the stats ok based on odds and it more than likely gets laid.
Patrotas I will lay. Colombia proving to be a very good league on this. Volume and liquidity good, s/r good, odds quite good.

Defensor......may well depend on the rest of the day and definitely on the odds again as close to threshold.

On the surface it just about qualifies.

But both home points and away points are very low. When you combine the 2 you get 3 previous selections, 1 of which was a loss. A just under break even situation. I don't like it.

Richard Latimer

So like I said, there's no question there's a large amount of variance this month. BUT.... certain things are coming back to bite me after I raised concerns a while ago.

Great to see Man City lose but that along with the other English non league games that I left today just confirms to me. England is to be left well alone at present. Greece was just another f*****g tragedy. Still seems a decent league and first loss. Just so happens the first losses in several leagues are happening this month.

Richard Latimer

Dealing with much variance at the moment. Yet another red card and a 100th minute loser.

Last game to keep loss small and hope for something tomorrow which can send me to break even for Nov.

Richard Latimer

I laid in Slovakia but really shouldn't have. Volume was poor and not enough history to make it worthwhile.

This game has seemed odd from the off with odds dropping like a stone until home team finally took the lead.

I didn't expect Zilina to equalise but they have and I greened up.

Deleting this league based mainly on volume.

Richard Latimer

Nacional currently winning in Uruguay which is something but another disappointing day. Den Bosch again playing the spoiler. Here's Saturdays:

Croatian game unlikely to be within odds range.
Eng National League North and South I will have to see about liquidity and volume.
Clearly I don't want City to prosper but if they could just avoid being total garbage this weekend and losing to Brighton that would be grand.

For Fri:

Seems pretty unlikely Cambuur will qualify as lay odds have to be 1.9+ and currently they are around 1.6

Richard Latimer

Here we go with the recovery.....

Colombia has been good so far.

Lay Pereira.

Richard Latimer

Got my formulas a bit wrong. Was 5/8 which while crap is infinitely better than 53.85%

Richard Latimer

Even without that loss it was a small loss on the weekend so not sure about my maths. Anyway, only way is up hopefully unless the data crashes.

Richard Latimer

Unfeasibly crappy weekend!

Richard Latimer

Spoke too soon.

Almost came good but disallowed goal. Shite weekend.

Richard Latimer

@Richard-Latimer said in Aug 2024 £3000 - ? Bank Challenge:

Been a really rough weekend. Can only minimise a loss now.

Actually, if the last selection hits it's a small profit on the weekend and I'll take that from such a tough one.
