Aug 2024 £3000 - ? Bank Challenge

I won't clog up the football thread with my explanations anymore but one thing I have noticed that I'm looking into is while the H2H for Umraniyespor was 80% the last was in fact 2018. Looking back through data already collected for this to see if it's something easily excluded going forward.

Much as I hate missing a trick, it's better to find out early and have a reason for a poor patch.

Lay under 1.5:

Looks like being 1/2 today and a small loss but Caracas odds small and I'm not ruling any leagues out at present considering the overall performance.

Lay under 1.5 San Carlos (Costa Rica)

That one ended 3-2 so back in business.

Lay under 1.5 Melbourne City this morning

I may regret it but I seem to be finding there are far more likely reasons for a loss than whether a team has anything to play for. I think my stuff over the last year has been sometimes about challenging the stereotypes.

Higher averages not always better for example. The removal of high percentage h2h makes sense in this respect as does trading a game based on the data rather than anything subjective.

@richard-latimer I was lucky, because I was out for the day, I got on first thing this morning. Great odds on Antigua, and got on at 7 for Always Ready. Cheers for these selections, really appreciate it.

Just didn't find the liquidity on these games.

Still Nublense to go

Nublense win means still heading strong despite today's setback. Taking out the 90% h2h which is break even over 30+ trades is the way to go for now. This actually opens the door for away averages to be lowered slightly. Lose 30 trades for no money and add 5 or 6 back for another 5 or 6 points.

I don't want to start messing with leagues at the moment as so far all leagues doing well and losses coming from across the park rather than a specific direction.

Today saw the inevitable bump in the road.

Not sure what Grasshoppers or Basel were doing but that wasn't a great start. Interestingly enough it's now pretty much break even for 90% h2h with only 80-89% proving pretty amazing so far. Could be a sweet spot. Also think I'll leave Guatemala from here. 2 selections, 1 with liquidity and one without. The one without naturally won at really good odds.

Not sure what happened to Bolivia and Always Ready but that certainly wasn't always ready as again no liquidity and no inplay.

Rich just a thought mate on your SHG
I know you spent ages doing these and just wanted to free up some time so your gone for the 1.5 set and forget.

Have you thought about still doing the SHG but putting the games into flash scores and get motivation at HTime to your phone so you can jump on them at HTime if they meet your criteria.

I find this helpful when doing SHG I just forget about them until the alert comes through. I just check match at decide whether to trade it

Hate to see you not using a strategy that you spent ages researching, data collecting and was successful for you.

I do exactly this as well with the pro tips Ryan posts each day

I've been doing this for so long and if I don't need to.....

To put it into perspective, I had the girl who I'm seeing around this afternoon and it was so lovely not to have to think what am I missing, can I still get some trades on, what time will I be able to start trading again.

Our time is precious as lives are complicated when you have kids and a million other responsibilities so it already feels like stealing time. No way I'd want to water that down further.

I can't blame the breakdown of my marriage solely on trading but it sure as hell didn't help when I kept looking at my phone while out on a nice country walk for example.

Cautionary tale. If you can find something that works and it's even half as good as the one where you need to be present.....do the one that allows you to be happy and reap the benefits of this life.....not the one that'll replace your 9-5 with a whole new chain and master!
