13.00 Spain La Liga 2- Almeria vs Cartagena WON £1.19 FT 0-1

Lay the underdog if they take the lead
15.00 Scotland Champ- Raith vs Dunfermline ( lay away) NO TRADE 0-0 FT
15.00 Scotland L2- Kelty Hearts vs Cowdenbeath ( lay away) MATCH POSTPONED
15.00 England Nat North - Kettering vs Brackley ( lay home) LOST £5.36 FT 3-1

Right having read Richards and Darri's comments i am going to hold off Stuarts set and Forget and My own ltd until i have anaysised the data. Hopefully i can find some decent performing leagues and odds ranges and eliminate the poor performing leagues. Maybe no leagues are performing to a level of worth persevering with until i know for sure i will hold off trading these.

Anyway might as well report today's trades. Highlighted above.
Lost a point and half on the laying of Kettering done a one point trade and then a further 1/2 point on 85mins when the 3rd goal went in for Kettering but to no avail

@darri exactly what I was referring to. Definitely not just tracking for a rebound on current but whether it revealed anything else. Also depends very much how open the data being collected is. If it's only a very small range of 2 or 3 criteria there is clearly less you can potentially do with it.

@richard-latimer As you can see from my post mate, its asks if there are potential tweaks to improve this. If not while yes its technically profitable its still a massive grind. I dont believe there would be a point in continuing the strategy collecting data on this if there are no ways to improve. Based on what james has said sounds like he maybe hasnt looked that much into tweaks. Tracking a strategy that doesnt perform and just collecting data incase of a rebound is pointless in my opinion. Its a waste of time. There are a plethora of fantastic strategies out there already proven to work. Its easy to build a profitable strategy in fact everyone does, but not everyone manages thats strategy well or even the data behind it. So yes while i agree dont ditch if there are tweaks, but if you just look at his results 1,465 trades with £2 liabilities thats a bank outlay of £2,900 to make just £83. Yet the other strat which is still too small in data but seems to be solid as it would take an almighty drawdown to kill that profit, but if you just use £1 more which is still a lot safer than the £2 on all the 1,465 trades elsewhere then hed make pretty much the same amount for a tiny fraction of the trades. I get you love the data collecting side mate but there is stubborn then there is pointless effort, there are too many good strats out there at the moment to be getting to 1000 trades worth of data and yet no clear path to decent sustainable profits.

@james-everard welcome back mate hopefully now you can kick on with these and get to the bank you desire.

Stuarts LTD = £0.06 per trade
Your own LTD = £0.05 per trade
LTUD = £0.99 per trade

While of course its early days still with the LTUD, its clearly where my money would be going. Id more likely be ditching the other 2 as you are needing such huge volume to make the other 2 worthwhile. You add both the LTD strats together thats £83 in 1,465 trades, that to me seems too small to be worthwhile in my opinion. Is there tweaks you can make with these to improve that, perhaps an odds range that might be affecting top end liabilities? The LTUD seems to be killing it on the other hand, if it continues to show this level of profit t, good luck for 2022 mate

Hi Darri happy new year mate , i feel like Stuarts set and forget is turning into profitability after a couple of poor months , my own set and forget i see exactly what you are seeing mate , i am going to analyse the data on this as plenty of results to go through, just seems loads of work recording to just ditch. i have started to go through yesterday evening and will continue the next few days for instance Australia i have noticed is a league to scrap, will post once i have made a decision.

Don't ditch, just don't trade it currently. Keep tracking until you feel you can't track anymore or it's simply not worth it. You never know, but you may see an entirely new pattern unfold before your eyes that you hadn't been looking for and certainly weren't expecting.

When I was loooking at multi angles for inplay 2nd half goals based on when a team scored and what the score was at the time etc I wasn't aware just how much priceless data I was collecting for a simple 2nd half goal. Without that base I wouldn't have anywhere near as much to build on as I have now.

[james everard]

@chris-osborne Hi Chris , the laying of the underdog system the big profits occur if you have a late goal scored by the underdog and the favourite equalizes, if you can get 1 or 2 a month it boosts the profit on the system.
I am going to be a geek tonight and spend the evening going through all of the data to breakdown leagues /teams odds ranges etc and will let you know mate.
Hows things with you mate hope you have had a nice Christmas and new year?

So the big day has finally arrived my start of trading properly , after completing my spreadsheet of results i have a bank of £178.32 , so will be using 2% liability stakes which i think i have worked out correctly is £3.57 liability stakes per trade.
I will be working off these three strategies i have been logging the results for although system 2 my own ltd hasn't been making profit the last couple of months i am not losing hardly anything but i will be examining the data i have over the weekend of this system to omit leagues and find the odds ranges that are profitable.
The other two systems appear to making reasonable profit so will carry on with (again will look into the data to see if i can tweak at all to make more profit

[A Former User]

@james-everard Results speak for them selves James the third strategy looks by far the most profitable to me - Are the results coming from one or two leagues or spread about

@james-everard Perfect, will be watching with a keen eye.

[james everard]

Quick update , i was going to start trading my lay the underdog system from this weekend. But i have decided to delay until the 1st of December. Going to catch up with results recording and analyse some data . take a break for a couple of weeks and come back refreshed and ready to go for December think it will do me the world of good with the right mindset from the start.

@james-everard Excellent to hear about the news on your daughter, I hope that relationship really kicks on for the both of you.

So the plan with the trades now is to follow these 3 strategies?

Thanks . No mate i am going to do my lay the underdog system for the time being and post on here how i am getting on

[james everard]

@darri said in MY TURN FOR TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY:

@james-everard sounds good, as long as you are happy with the amount of data you have for them. 1%/1 point of the bank is easily measured by just dividing your current bank by 100. Its the easiest way to calculate and the way id encourage anyone new to start with. People do variations of this but there is no need. Just stick to 1% is 1 point of the bank, nice and simple.

So in your case a £200 bank
1 point is £200/100 = £2
Just change the measurement anytime you plan to up stakes. The art of compounding.

Good luck with this. Be a pretty interesting period of your life if not only are you meeting your daughter but now also making £££s from trading. Hope this period goes well for you mate and make up for the past (gambling), here if you ever want an SOS chat mate, there is no better feeling than moving on from negative times with gambling, we can both share similarities in that

Thanks Darri , i thought 1% of my bank is the easiest way of understanding bank management and starting out trading properly.
The discipline side is essential for this to work. And now having a plan set out not over complicating things is the way forward .Thanks for your support appreciate .
Will keep you updating on this blog and any advice would be welcome
