It's a swingy way of betting with a few losses able to wipe out months of profit but get it right and it's a great buzz. Banks grow steadily punctuated with occasional drops whereas with backing it can often be the other way round - a few winners can send the bank soaring but generally bets lose you a small amount (the stake).

The horse appeared to be travelling well up until that point. :(

Thanks for the advice, im planning a £200 bank, therefore the min Betfair stake, my only concern is most of my bets have to be put on the night before and the prices are really high, i will have to get into the habit of doing it during my luncbreak:thumbs

I have never layed to BSP so I don't know how it really works...

Im not sure myself:doh
i think you put in youre max liability ie £30 and it is divided by whatever the SP is even with an odds limit ? therefore i would win (hopefully) various amounts depending on the SP.


Anyone use it ??

Looked like Ollie had it in the bag when he jumped the last - glad he didn't. :D

Great day for me as well so far, will be nicely up at the end of the day no matter what happens, might even end up more so fingers crossed

Great day for me, even though I had to go out for most of the afternoon so shoved all the bets on from about 2pm onwards and crossed my fingers. I hit some winners on the lays to finish around breakeven overall on the lays but well up on the backs and the football to make it a nice end to the month. The month was only breakeven as a spell in the middle really killed me, in fact 17th October was my 5th worst ever day, but the last week or so has really helped undo a lot of that damage.

W2W Systems: 6 from 6, up 15.43pts
W2W Lays: 8 from 9, up 1.95pts
Other: 30 from 60, up 30.67pts

My best day of the month in cash terms :thumbs

Great day for me as well, which put me on about levels for the month.

Just done a bit of accounting and I had one football result down wrong (I had recorded Burnley v Hull as a draw) which makes a significant difference to things. My actual figures for yesterday were:

W2W Systems: 6 from 6, up 15.43pts
W2W Lays: 8 from 9, up 1.95pts
Other: 30 from 99, down 392.00pts

That looks like a big loss on the Others but I run a football system that sees bets of anything from two points to hundeds of points and it was one of those bets that I had settled as a winner instead of the loser it actually was. I'm not at all worried about losing those points though as I know I'll get them back in the coming months. History says for this system that January is a great month and will see some big wins. I have also included some placepot bets from yesterday (38 lines in total) that all lost so that's a loss of 38pts. But in cash terms it will all be covered by a bonus from Betfair.

Overall I made a small loss on the month in cash terms (not break even as I claimed earlier) but it was still not a bad one overall, given some of the days I had. In points terms I finished the month up 32.68pts.
