Bet 44 and another push

I placed this bet 2 or 3 days ago and I was unlucky really. I laid the draw and plumped it all back on the draw and then laid the team that went ahead again after looking at the stats. I was looking at over £8 ish but it didn’t happen and at least I didn’t lose anything.
We move on.

Bet 43

Ahhhhh I really fancied Malta to score v Faroe Islands. The stats suggested it could happen and it was a big bet if it had come in, but sadly it didn’t.

Bet 42

Bet 42 was more of an insurance bet than anything else. I had backed France at home v Turkey when 0-0 after 60 minutes. I had placed a pre kick off bet on France at 1.40 for £60. 

I managed to get odds of 2.00 bang on and bet £2 on the draw. France went ahead with 10 minutes left and I should of cashed out the pre kick off bet but didn’t and it cost me dear. Turkey scored within 5 minutes and it was now 1-1 and that’s how it ended up. Gutted I lost a three figure payout but at least I grew the Bankroll Challenge by another £1.96 (after commission).

The new total stands back to £86.35.

Bet 41

I did say that was it and yes it was. But an opportunity opened for me 24 hrs later and that’s what this is all about.
Bet 41 was Egypt at home and by 60 minutes it was still 0-0 and the home side were camped in the oppositions half. So I placed the maximum £2.50 at odds of 1.66 and within 5 minutes the goal went in.
Take the 4p commission out and I won £1.61.

Bet 40 and that’s it.

That’s it because I’m chasing wins now and I need to stop doing it. This time it’s Wales v Croatia and the away side go 1 up and bang on HT Wales score and they go in at HT 1-1. The stats show Croatia slightly ahead in possession and shots and its worth a punt I feel for Croatia to win. But instead of backing the away side, I see the price for the over 2.5 goals and at 3.5 with 20 minutes to go I have both my bases covered. All I need is a goal for my £2 stake.

Unfortunately it ended 1-1 and another F I B.

That’s definitely it now unless I see a great opportunity. The Bankroll is now £82.77, so still healthy but the games I backed could of easily ended in my favour, but there’s way to much betting going on.

Below is the last screenshot and below that is the proof of the last few bets.

Bet 39

Ok so I need to calm it down a bit now. I was so desperate to cross that £100 mark, that I was punting on silly things. Like Bet 39 for instance, but was it worth the punt though, you decide......

Germany are away to Estonia and Germany have a player sent off mid way through the first half. The odds on Estonia to win are now huge but Germany still were massive odds on to win.
At HT it was still 0-0 and then boom a Germany goal and then another to go 0-2 up. But I still see that Estonia have the extra man and ‘should’ at least score once and that was my plan.

I did manage to back Estonia when Germany scored the first goal. Based on my information above. I placed £2.50 on Estonia @ 12.5 and then when it was 0-2 I laid Germany at 1.02 for £100 costing me just £2. The plan was to let the bet off when Estonia scored.

So what happened next, yes Germany score a third goal and win 0-3 with ten men. I lose £4.50.

Bet 38

Second division game in Spain for this one. Before kick off I checked both teams and there was a lot of draws for both sides, so it wasn’t a surprise to see at HT 0-0. I checked back in the 60th minute and the away side had just won a penalty. They missed it and then I jumped on the over .5 goal for my max bet of £2.50 @ 1.85.
I then of course forgot about the bet, so it was a nice surprise to see the away side win 0-1 and another small profit for me.
Bankroll up to £89.27. Closing in on that first £100.

Bet 37

You’d think at odds of 1/4 on or 1.25 at the start of a match that was Brazil, that you’d not think about the bet losing. However at HT Brazil were indeed losing 0-1. I placed a back bet of £2.50 at odds of 1.37 mid way through the first half. They had loads of possession, shots, everything and then the away side scored......

So I placed another £2.50 on Brazil at 2.62. Thankfully Brazil did score early in the second half. But with 20 minutes to go I thought I’d see what the cash out was and thankfully if I cashed out I was still pushing if Brazil didn’t win and I’d win 33p if Brazil did score the winner. The ended 1-1 and it’s a push. I got lucky on that one!

Bet 36

So after checking the rules again, I can no longer lose more than £2.50 per bet. It does seem a little low but it’s just x33 times my current Bankroll. I was going to change the rules to just x20 my stake, but then remembered, it’s actually at that point. The first barrier is £50 and so losing my maximum stake of x20 is £2.50. I will have to keep working until I break through the next barrier which is £100 and then it goes up to £5 which a little better for laying bets.
When I was writing up the last bets, I thought I only have to wait for opportunities at £2.50 a pop and going over the £100 should be easy enough.
So getting back to the Bet 36, it’s only a baby bet but was almost certainly a gimme. Coventry v Tranmere and 0-0 at HT. I was offered 1.35 for over .5 goals in the match.
I did have to seat it though with the first goal scored in the 83rd Minute. But it won and we move on and wait for other opportunities to present themselves.
It all counts!

Bet 35 and at last

At last because I’m now up to date, or I will be with this last bet and post.
So today is the 12th October and having a week away, I came back all refreshed and ready to go.
Today’s game was Barnet v Woking and Woking are winning 0-2 in the National League. I checked the stats and Barnet despite being two goals down had had more of the ball, most shots on goals and off target to.
I laid Woking @ 1.14 for £77. It pretty much took every penny in my account but I knew Barnet only had to score one goal and I would be in profit.
So I took that chance with 25 minutes still left of the game and just 3 minutes after placing the bet, Barnet did score to make it 1-2.
I checked the bet out and I really should of took the guaranteed £20 when the price settled down. But I didn’t take the £20, I didn’t even take the free money so I still had my £10 left if it went to pot. I just knew I had a chance of winning the full £77. When it reached 10 minutes to go, I checked again and it just wasn’t worth taking what was being offered. Then 90 minutes passed and there was 6 minutes of added time and I basically had given up by now. I checked again in the 94th minute and Woking had the ball and I was then thinking of when to add another £10 into my account after going bust yet again, but then, G O A LLLLLL for Barnet in the last minute.
The final whistle blew and after paying £1.54 commission I now have a Bankroll of £86.35.
Now the rules kick in for the first time. It’s that long since, I need to read them again. But I finally made it passed the first barrier and hopefully kick in from here.

My screen editing I use to trim my screenshots is now not working, so apologies for the untidyness of the screenshot. But you can see the bet and my total quite clearly. I’m going to add another screenshot of my account to show everything I’ve wrote re my bets are all 100% genuine. I do not cheat, why would I when I’ve already done this before and I would only be cheating myself, but when others read this they can see for themselves.

Bet 34 another push.

I was checking through my account and Bet 34 was for £20 and I was going over things in my head and after checking my history I’m thinking, but I only have £10 left, so how could I of laid a bet for £20.

I checked my deposit and nothing there and I’m still scratching my head. I know I’ve only got my last £10, but then I see it. I did lay the Home side for £20 when 2-1 up, but at odds of 1.44. So my liability was £8.80. I did my usual trick though, when it was 2-2, instead of taking a guaranteed profit, I got greedy and placed it all back on the home. It was a free bet and it was worth the risk for a profit £60 ish.

However, it was a push and so we move on with our £10.

Bet 33 and back it goes

So feeling super confident after the win the night before, I laid the draw in the Bournemouth v West-ham game. The score was 2-2 with about 20 minutes in total to be played. The game was really open and so I laid the draw @ 1.79 for £10.

The game ended 2-2 and so I just lost the £7 + 90p on top I had won the night before and I was now back to £10.

Never mind huh, can’t win them all......

Bet 32

So after a disappointing loss in the last bet, I needed a change of fortune or I was going to be broke yet again.
Thankfully I managed to bring home some cash for Bet 32.
Friday night football again and this time Stoke v Forrest in the Championship. Stoke were on a dreadful run and I laid the draw at the start of the second half for the all of my remainder of my Bankroll. The price was 2.7 for the draw and I had just enough to lay the draw for £7.
I then completely forgot about the game.
Luckily when I did remember, I checked the result and was pleased to see Forrest had scored and won the game 2-3 to send me back to £18.

Phew!

Bet 31 PSG at Home

Bet 31 was my biggest loss. PSG are literally super massive odds to win the French league. They are playing at home and so when they went 0-1 down with 25 minutes of the match to go, it was pretty nailed on that Reims would not keep hold of the lead. The price for Reims to win was 2.40 and so all I needed was a goal from PSG and I would win a good £10 easy.
I mean, seriously, who in the right mind would not back PSG to at least score a goal with 25 minutes still left to go.
Unfortunately PSG did lose and not by 0-1 but 0-2 for a major shock. I lost £14 on that bet. I guess there’s no such thing as a cert in football either.
Bankroll back to £11

Bet 30

So Friday the 20th September and another lay the draw game. I laid the draw 25 minutes from the end of the game at 2.00. Unfortunately it remained 0-0 and I lose another £5 to now bring my Bankroll to £25 and change.

Bet 29

Yet another push for Bet 29 just three days later. I had laid the draw and then placed all the money back on the draw for a free bet. Unfortunately, it didn’t pay off this time. So I didn’t lose anything.

Bet 28

I should of known better really, Friday the 13th was a losing bet for Bet number 28.
I had read about Derby having an excellent run of form and I checked the in play odds and Derby had now become an attractive price @ 2.84 for £5.
Unfortunately though, Derby failed to win nor did I have a chance to lay the bet off during the game and so I lost my £5 staked.

I was now back to £30.85, so still in a comfortable position.

Bet 27

Bet 27 was again another push and because it’s been a while, I feel I need to show these pushes despite not winning or losing anything. It also shows that I have been active just like I said I was.

Bet 25 & 26

It’s been just over a month since I last updated this thread. But that’s not stopped me placing the odd bet here or there.
I have always taken screenshots of the bets, it’s just finding the time to post every bet up.
However, I will now try and update when I can and now is one of those times.

So bets 25 & 26 were both pushes, meaning I didn’t lose nor did I win anything.
