My betting attempt! (blog)

[schopenhauer]

Maybe win2win was lucky not to take the horses that won near the cutoffs.

Unfortunately I've also had some high priced double and triple lays that won. That's everytime about -100€. Maybe I should leave the doubles and triples out?

Yesterday I tried to put in a list with my daily profit/loss. Seems that it hasn't worked...it's not here. :P

[schopenhauer]

Okay, seems that I know now, why my list from yesterday isn't visible. "Thank you for posting! Your post will not be visible until a moderator has approved it for posting."

Another horrendous day with a 30pt loss. That's pretty much a ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY PT DOWNSWING.

To suggest running this extremely volatile system at a 1% stake seems pretty insane to me. I would personally advise no higher than 0.5% ever ever ever. I'm considering whether to bother carrying on to be honest. Soon will be at the minimum stake and to get back even from there will take eons

Hi schopenhauer

Your results list should be visible now. Apologies for it taking so long for us to get it out of the moderated post queue. It must have slipped through the net!

Looking at the state of today's selections (top 5 favourites in loads of races ) I'm predicting another landslide

EDIT: First 3 romp home

At the moment I don't know whether to continue or to take the rest of the bank and put it into another system.

I think, even if it would go up a little bit now, the next bad day will wipe out the bank completely or the bank is too small then for the liability.

Today I wasn't able to bet the evening races.

Yet another losing day totalling a 150pt downswing. I'm guessing that's a record amount since they started being even paper tested...

I think the first attempt failed after 12 losing days in a row.
Maybe I try it again, but first the other systems have to compensate the loss.

[ProPocer]

I've stopped for now having as good as bust the bank. Looking at results since I stopped the swing got to about 180pts, and well could get worse. I'm going to come back at a later date and try again with a bigger bank and smaller stakes. After all, it's far quicker for me BUILDING a bank playing poker than it is laying to £2 stakes for sure! Next time I'm not going to lay any higher than 0.5% of the bank. And I think that should be a golden rule preached around here in my own honest opinion.

Sorry to hear you bust the bank - The system bets have taken a bit a hit the last two days too
Still a statistical correction was due after being such a huge success over the last 20 days or so.

[schopenhauer]

Hopefully I don't get a bad start with the system bets too.
I've had a superb start with the pro bets in October, as I tripled the starting bank in a month, but they are also suffering since November.
Seems that I'm not the lucky beggar.

Statistically it has to get better some day. (I hope)
