Morning All,
1 winner with each bank yesterday but I lost the plot and need a little break to get my head, and the banks, back together before I come back and start over.
Here's what happened - I had a bit of a lash at Soul Diva, more than I could really afford to risk at the moment (it's all relative) - she ran a pretty good race coming off a slow pace which was never going to suit and finishing second. She looked well in yesterday - which is why I had the bets I did - but when they raced the way they did she didn't have much hope of running down the leader.
Anyways - I reverted to type after she lost and chased what I had lost only to lose a bit more and mess up all my banks - STUPID.
Which is why I need the rest of the year off. I need to work out how to treat bets outside those I post here, not that there should be many but there will be some. When you have an interest in a horse, you have to have a bet on them when they go around, that's just the way it is.
I need to freshen up, have a few days off the punt - get my head together and come back stronger then ever!!!
For interest - Here's the results
Bank 1
Bet 3 Caulfield Race 2 - 1 Soul Diva - Lost
Bet 4 Randwick Race 7 - 3 Ready to Lift - Won
Profit $21 Overall Profit $1 (1 from 4 - 25%)
Bank 2
Bet 104 NBA Mavs vs Trail Blazers @ $2.80 - Won
Bet 105 NBA Cavs - 14.5 vs Wizards @ $1.86 - Lost
Profit $3.56 Overall Loss $11.95 (52 from 105 - 49%)
So next year, when I'm back, both strike rates need to improve and both banks need to grow - they will, I know they will - I just have to get it right. Wait and see :)
Just on Soul Diva, it was good to see her find some form and with the extra $10800 in prize money she's now cracked the $250k - no owner would complain about that. My share is $324 and over $7.5k - still behind overall but not by much and as you can't put a price on the thrill of having an interest in a winner (although some probably do) - I'm very happy with her.
So that's it for now - I think I'll drop in and post a few thoughts on punting the next few days but I won't be posting any bets until the new year. This my friends, has been a lesson in what not to do - next year I'm determined to show you what to do to get it right :)
All the best,
p.s. sorry if this reads badly, it wasn't easy to write

Day 39 - Diva Day :)
Morning All,
Boxing Day is always an interesting day, more so this year though. Two reasons - firstly the cricket is on at the MCG the same as normal only this time Australia is going into the match trailing the series vs South Africa 1 - 0 with 2 games to play. Australia has dominated for a long time which made things a little boring in some ways so at least now it's more exciting to watch again - GO THE AUSSIES
The second is Soul Diva is racing :)
I mentioned her a few weeks back when she last raced. I lease 5% of the mare and she's been a great - unfortunately this preparation they aimed a bit higher with her and she didn't really cope, so it's been very frustrating watching her go around and get beat. I'm hoping, and pretty confident, that today is the day she gets back into the winners stall.
Ok, here we go then - my boxing day bets
Bank 1
Bet 3 Caulfield Race 2 - 1 Soul Diva
It's a pretty even bunch but if she can find any of her old form she should win this one today. She's been freshened up and is back to the 1800m which should be ideal. Blinkers are going on for the first time and they seem to have given her a bit more focus. Most importantly, she's got a dry track again which she loves and is way down in class on what she's been facing. Should get around $5 so let's hope she gets this bank rolling again :)
Bet 4 Randwick Race 7 - 3 Ready to Lift
Won the traditional lead up to this race - The Christmas Cup - by 2 lengths beating most of those he faces today. That was on a wet track but has won on the dry before so that's not a problem. Looks very well in and is being backed. Dangers are Nuclear Sky, Zazabeau and Danzibaa.
Bank 2
Bet 104 NBA Mavs vs Trail Blazers @ $2.80
Bet 105 NBA Cavs - 14.5 vs Wizards @ $1.86
Have a wonderful day All - GO THE DIVA :)

Day 38 - 100 bets in
Morning All,
I jinxed myself yesterday didn't I - whinge about hitting 1 out of 2 and end up hitting none and just to rub it in the Panthers lose in overtime.
101 bets down now and I'm behind again :( - I've been betting to bigger prices so maybe that needs to change, strike rate up and prices down could be the way to go but we'll see. Either way, need to get the bank moving the right direction again.
Here's the results
Bet 100 NFL Panthers vs Giants @ $2.90 - Lost
Bet 101 NFL Eagles - 5.5 vs Redskins @ 2.02 - Lost
Loss $10.48 Overall Loss $5.51 (51 from 101 - 50%)
And today's bets
Bet 102 NFL Bears - 3.5 vs Packers @ $1.94
Bet 103 NBA Trailblazers vs Nuggets @ $2.08

Day 37 - It looks cold over there
Morning All,
Just saw some footage of an NFL game in the states with snow tumbling on down - had a BBQ here yesterday where some were complaining it was a bit too warm. Which would you rather??? I guess the traditional Aussie sunny Christmas is great but I'd love to see a white one eventually. Overall though, give me the sun :)
Ok, time to catch up on some results now that the games are all up to date - it's interesting, and a little frustrating that I keep hitting 1 out of 2 bets - it's better than losing but you need the doubles to grow the bank. Hopefully that'll turn around soon.
Bet 94 NFL Dallas -5.5 vs Baltimore @ $2.12 - Lost
Bet 95 NFL Indianapolis -6.5 vs Jacksonville @ $2.16 - Won
Bet 96 NBA Mavs - 4.5 vs Nets @ $2.14 - Lost
Bet 97 NBA Jazz vs Pistons @ $2.46 - Won
Bet 98 NBA Nuggets + 4.5 vs Suns @ $2.14 - Lost
Bet 99 Soccer Sydney FC (LAY) vs Glory @ $1.95 - Won
Profit $2.10 Overall Profit $4.97 (51 from 99 - 51%)
And today's bets
Bet 100 NFL Panthers vs Giants @ $2.90
Bet 101 NFL Eagles - 5.5 vs Redskins @ 2.02
Off to work - 2 and 1/2 days left, I'm almost there :)

Day 36 - the best made plans
Morning All,
Well there goes that idea - plan last night was to have a little nap and then get up to have a couple of bets on the Premier League, no go - slept like a baby right through all the kick offs - I sure am getting old LOL
The new gallops system got off to a bad start with two losers - Braided General was heavily backed but was beaten a fair way out. I was very surprised to see a couple of horses go down the outside rail alone, they didn't get close so it was obviously a bad decision. Warm Whispers, the one I thought was the main danger, got nutted by a $27 pop in a photo.
Albert the Fat was beaten by the barrier, ran a great 4th after not getting in or getting cover the whole way. Hindsight says it was a silly bet. Hindsight also says I should've backed Barlinnie each way instead - I did like it but I was worried that Albert would be too good despite the barrier. Barlinnie won paying $9 or so, a great each way price.
Interestingly of the favourites I mentioned only 1 of the 3, Keano, managed to win.
Overall Melbourne was a good day for the bookies, especially early on.
Not too worry though, with a little ironing out of the issues I can make this system pay. Next round of bets will be on Friday, Boxing Day.
Note - bets are 10% with a $10 minimum.
Sports bank - well done Utah on winning in a double overtime thriller :)
Here's the results
Bank 1
Bet 16 Flemington 3 - 1 Braided General @ $4.44 Lost
Bet 17 Doomben 7 - 14 Albert the Fat @ $3.60 Lost
Loss $20 Overall Loss $20 (0 from 2 - 0%)
I've closed the old bank 1 off with $61.55 left - and started off again at $100.
Sports - I'll update the bank after today's NFL so it makes more sense
Today's extra bets are
Bet 98 NBA Nuggets + 4.5 vs Suns @ $2.14
Bet 99 Soccer Sydney FC (LAY) vs Glory @ $1.95 - (bet is for Sydney FC not to win)
I'm off to a pre Christmas BBQ with friends today - sensational blue skies, good company, food, drinks - what more could you want except for 3 sports bank winners!!!

Day 35 - the gallops are back
Back Again
Ok, I've found a couple I want to back today - I've decided to give a bit of an explanation for my bets so you can see my thought patterns.
The first one is Melbourne Race 3 - 1 Braided General.
It's an interesting race and I'm possibly doing the wrong thing betting on a race down the straight at Flemington, small field helps though as I'd expect all the horses to come down either the flat or grandstand side together. I've got the race down to just 2 chances - my pick Braided General and the David Hayes horse Warm Whispers.
I've gone the way I have because of race experience. Braided General has had the 4 starts for 2 wins and a 2nd. The provincial wins were both by good margins and the 2nd was last start in a race that doesn't look any harder than this one. Importantly, all it's runs have been on Dead rated tracks which is what we have today. Warm Whispers has just the one start for a good win at Moonee Valley. The 3kg claim on my one means I get a 1/2 kg advantage. Melbourne's two leading trainers head to head but at the $4.44 I've locked in I think I've gone the right way.
The second bet is Brisbane race 7 - 14 Albert the Fat
Lots of tips for this one today so it'll start a bit shorter than it should, I'm happy to have locked in $3.60 though. Albert's had 10 starts for 7 wins as is a pretty smart horse. He has won at the track, the distance and the conditions so none of those are a worry. The wide barrier is a concern but he should either be able to slot in or get cover and with the 53 kgs I'm happy to be on him.
There are a few dangers and if I was taking mulitples I'd include Barlinnie, Charming Rouge and Nextgen - most of the dangers being down in the weights.
So there they are, hopefully I've gone the right way - I was tempted to take the 3 shorties at Flemington - Instructor, Ravishing Reward and Keano but they all look like being odds on so I've stayed out and looked for a bit better value.
Anyways, better do some stuff I guess - have a great day All and best of luck if you are having a bet.

Day 35 - proof I'm not so professional
Morning All,
Well that's my last working Friday out of the way for the year, I finish up at noon on Wednesday and start back on Jan 5 - I can hardly wait :)
Messed up a bit yesterday, hence the title of today's post, the Dallas vs Baltimore game isn't actually on until tomorrow my time - now that's unprofessional, not even knowing when a game starts!!!!
I blame Betfair, nah actually it's my fault - I've now worked out that just because a game is in bold in their markets doesn't mean it's on soon. Anyways, this means I have to make a decision if I bet on or wait, obviously the answer is to bet on especially with so much going on today.
So I'll hold the results over, although will let you know that Indianapolis did the right thing and covered the spread :)
Here's today's sports bets
Bet 96 NBA Mavs - 4.5 vs Nets @ $2.14
Bet 97 NBA Jazz vs Pistons @ $2.46
I'll be back in an hour so with my 2 racing picks
Cheers

Day 34 - normal coverage resumes
Morning All,
Well the gamble didn't pay off in what ended up being a goalfest - Man Utd finished up winning 5 - 3. Oh well, was worth a crack I think - not something I'll do too often though.
Here's the results
Bet 92 Soccer G-Osaka vs Manchester United @ $12.50 - Lost
Bet 93 Soccer G-Osaka vs Manchester United DRAW @ $5 - Lost
Loss $11.36 Overall Profit $2.34 (48 from 93 - 51%)
And today's bets
Bet 94 NFL Dallas -5.5 vs Baltimore @ $2.12
Bet 95 NFL Indianapolis -6.5 vs Jacksonville @ $2.16
Very unlikely there'll be more bets today as I'm going for a quiet drink or 3 after work :)

Day 33 - the gambler lives
Hey All,
2 for 2 today in the NBA which was nice, the winners are flowing again :)
Tonight though, I'm going to take a little gamble - I don't have much chance of winning but I think the odds make it attractive enough to have a crack. The World Club Championship moves on with G-Osaka facing the might of Manchester United - normally I'd say Man Utd would flog them but I occasionally love to back an underdog and tonight's the night - GO G-OSAKA GO!!!!
Results first
Bet 90 NBA Celtics vs Hawks @ $1.66 - Won
Bet 91 NBA Hornets vs Spurs @ $1.79 - Won
Profit $7.31 Overall Profit $13.70
And here's the bets
Bet 92 Soccer G-Osaka vs Manchester United @ $12.50
Bet 93 Soccer G-Osaka vs Manchester United DRAW @ $5
I was tempted to go with the Asian handicap and get a head start but liked the look of the $12.50 too much.
Wish me luck
Have a great night All

Day 31 - see now this could a month some months
Morning All,
Another lovely sunny Aussie day - the reason I need to get this right, it's just too nice to go to work!!!
Just a couple of sports bets again - my standard day now. I've dropped the accumulators / multiples for now as well, within reason anyway. If I can't find a decent bet at ok odds of $1.50 ish + it could be working picking up 2 or 3 shorties to get there. Not an issue today though, I think I found a couple of decent bets.
And here they are
Bet 86 NBA Heat vs Bucks @ $1.56
Bet 87 NBA Utah + 9.5 vs Celtics @ $1.96
Last poker home game for the year tonight, I'm going for 3 straight wins and a great finish to the year so fingers crossed.
Have a great day All
Another lovely sunny Aussie day - the reason I need to get this right, it's just too nice to go to work!!!
Just a couple of sports bets again - my standard day now. I've dropped the accumulators / multiples for now as well, within reason anyway. If I can't find a decent bet at ok odds of $1.50 ish + it could be working picking up 2 or 3 shorties to get there. Not an issue today though, I think I found a couple of decent bets.
And here they are

Day 30 - 1 month down plenty to go
Evening All,
That's a month gone - well close enough anyway :)
Finished off in style with 2 winners and the sports bank going back into credit.
Overall though, not good. Blew 2 banks and the new bank 1 is currently $38.45 down.
Here's today's results
Bet 84 NFL Panthers -7.5 vs Broncos @ $2.02 - Won
Bet 85 NFL Vikings + 3.5 vs Cardinals @ $2.08 (sorry just started)- Won
Profit $9.99 Overall Profit $8.67 (44 from 85 - 51%)
To make a go of the sports bank I need to find some consistency - I think 60% is the mark but that will obviously depend on prices. Either way, the bank is in front so that's a positive but there's plenty of work to do.
No bets tonight.
Bank 1 needs an approach that will work. So I'm going with something simple - 2 bets per Saturday / Public Holiday at 10% each. So bigger but less bets on the best race day each week.
Saturday is attractive because I have time to do the form + the form is stronger and more reliable. Overall, if I get it right the bank should start moving in the right direction.
So that's the plan, not much betting action but the potential to turn things around if I'm patient and make the right selections.
Thanks for dropping in - have a great evening.

Day 29 - still rolling along

Day 29 - the frustration grows
Morning All,
Well another losing night with the sports betting only managing 3 of 8 winners in my multiple :(
Things are looking pretty bleak now with even my one shinning light not shinning anymore :(
But hey, things can and will turn around - I just need to get back to the basics and start backing some winners.
Here's the results
Bet 79 Soccer Arsenal / Liverpool / Reading / Crystal Palace / Manchester United / Aston Villa / Manchester City / Wolves Multiple - 247 (I think it was) combinations - Lost
Loss $9.62 Overall Profit $0.46 (40 from 79 - 50%)
Today's bets
Bet 80 NBA Pistons vs Bobcats @ $1.76

Fingers crossed I can stay in the black.

Day 28 - something I shouldn't have done
Hey All,
The result was expected - dropped the $50, well $49.58 - it took 15 bets to do it. It was funny though, it wasn't like it has been in the past, I couldn't really get interested betting that way - it did nothing for me. Am I cured, probably not but hey - it's something to build off.
Only got 1 of the 3 in the NBA and the Phoenix and Glory had a draw so 2 losing bets.
Results
Bet 77 NBA Rockets / Trail Blazers / Magic - Multiple (doubles/ treble)- Lost
Bet 78 Soccer Phoenix vs Glory @ $2.14m - Lost
Lost $12.16 Overall Profit $10.08 (40 from 78 - 51%)
Tonight's bets
Bet 79 Soccer Arsenal / Liverpool / Reading / Crystal Palace / Manchester United / Aston Villa / Manchester City / Wolves Multiple - 247 (I think it was) combinations
It's not a bad collect if they all get up so fingers crossed
Have a great night All, early one for me

Day 28 - something I probably shouldn't do
Hey All,
Finally picked up another win with the sports bank so it's moving in the right direction again :)
I mentioned Soul Diva a few weeks back, she was meant to race today but has been scratched due to the wet track down at Headquarters, she now aims towards Boxing Day - hopefully we'll get a dry track then.
Anyways, this leaves me in an interesting position - I've put $50 in my TAB account to have on her but now don't need it for that - note - I record the small number of extra bets I have on her etc on another spreadsheet so that I have a record of them. The temptation is strong to have a bit of a play, something I probably shouldn't do but will. There's only the $50 there so it's the most I can lose and it would be nice to have a bit of extra spending money for Christmas if I can build it up a bit.
So that's the plan for today, I will do this with more control then previously though - I WILL NOT BET IN EVERY RACE. I'll post my days betting tonight and you can see what's happened. Bank 1 will be on hold this week.
Bank 2 Results
Bet 76 NBA Celtics / Mavs / Jazz @ $2.14 (I've had the whole 10% on this one)- Won

Day 26 - the experimentation continues
Evening All,
Interesting result today - I got 5 of 6 games right but still lost on the bet, short prices were the problem. Something to keep in mind for the future. I'll record the bet as a loss because I didn't make a profit.
A couple of bets on the same game tonight - World Club Championship, Adelaide vs Waitakere - Adelaide should win pretty easily so I've tried a combination of bets that will hopefully make me some money, let's see hey.

Bet 73 NBA Spurs / Hornets / Cavs / Nuggets / Nets / Lakers - multiple - Lost

Day 26 - yet another rethink
Morning All,
Shocker of a day yesterday - of the 4 lays that got matched 3 lost / won - whichever it is, caused me to go backwards anyway. The rethink - stick to Saturdays for a bit - it's the day I have time to do form and when the best horses race.
Sports - I was walking from the bus to work on Tuesday feeling good about everything, the bank had touched the $150's - I was planning my life as a full time professional sports better and then 6 straight losing bets :( - punting hey, ups and downs and if you get over confident it'll whack you and put you in your place.
Mind you it can be beaten, and will - just need to work out how.
I'm having another multiple today but going the whole hog - 6 NBA games, taking all 57 combinations this time, unfortunately only for a massive 20 cents each. That's actually combining both bets in one. Total possible win is $9.97 on an $11.40 investment however if I don't hit all 6 winners (need at least 2) I'll still get something back. Let's see how it goes, might be something to work with.

Day 24 - well that didn't work
Evening All,
No joy today, it's a bit of 1 step forward and 1 step back at present but hey, that's punting.
Rockets got beat so I dropped both bets - maybe the answer was to take the multiple properly - i.e. take all 3 doubles and the treble, something to think about.
Back to ordinary bets tonight.
Here's the results
Bet 67 NBA Rockets / Heat @ $1.67 - Lost

Day 24 - another new bet type
Morning All,
A bit of a rush here as I'm late again, was just hanging on to see if Tottenham would do the right thing and indeed they did - 2 nil. Asian handicap, a success :)
Will have a whack at a couple of Betfair multiples today, well kind of. After the weekends mistake in placing an accumulator with the wrong team, I've decided to go to multiples instead and couple up the games I want rather than the ones they choose. Why I say kind of is that rather than take a double and a treble on the same bet I'll do it as two separate bets - 1 double and 1 treble. Lets see how it goes.
First up, the results
Bet 65 Soocer Tottenham +0& +.5 vs Westham @ $1.69 - Won
Bet 66 Soccer Tottenham -0& -.5 vs Westham @ $2.36 - Won
Profit $13.99 Overall Profit $57.75 (39 from 66 - 59%)
And today's bets
Bet 67 NBA Rockets / Heat @ $1.67
Bet 68 NBA Rockets / Heat / Magic @ $2.59
No gallops bets until tomorrow
Gotta run, have a great day

Day 23 - Asian handicap
Evening All,
Having a go at something new tonight, I've been trying to get my head around how asian handicap betting works in the soccer and I think the only way to really figure it out is to have a bet, well two.
So here it is.
Bet 65 Soocer Tottenham +0& +.5 vs Westham @ $1.69
Bet 66 Soccer Tottenham -0& -.5 vs Westham @ $2.36
Basically it's all about taking the draw out of play, well mostly - with these two bets if it's a draw I lose $1.11 (bet is 2 * $7.18), if Westham wins I'm screwed - I lose $14.36. If, as I hope happens, Tottenham wins I'll pick up $14.72 so better than evens with only the small loss if it's a draw.
I guess this has to be compared to the $2.74 straight out on Tottenham - I'll leave it to someone else to do the maths if they like - seems like an ok pair of bets to me.
On a side note I won the Australian Online Poker League freeroll tonight, I think there was around 64 starters so not a bad turnout. Sure the prize is only 4 euros but when you play in the league it's more about the glory :)

Day 23 - another bank dies
Morning All,
Just a quick wrap up of yesterday, no bets for now.
Firstly - the quaddie bank is dead, I was alive coming into the last leg in both but couldn't manage a result on either bet. I might bring it back in the new year but will see what happens. This one was always going to be higher risk so even getting to 52 bets wasn't too bad.
Secondly - a losing day for the new bank 1 - only got matched on 3 bets and 2 of them lost :( - on a bright note, I would've had a 3rd loser if I had got matched on all 5 - phew. There's a little bit of work to be done to iron out the wrinkles in this one. Just so you know, I decided to stick to a 5% of the bank $5 minimum approach.
I won't be betting Mondays + maybe Tuesdays on this one, there aren't enough races to choose from.
Thirdly - I almost got lucky on the sports bank with the Hawks getting to within 2 points in the end. The Jazz just held on so I pulled a small profit overall. I tried to get some sports bets on either today's NFL or NBA but I'm running a bit late and missed out.
Here's the results
Bank 1 - remember these are Lays - so Lost means the horse Won
Bet 6 Wyong 1 - 1 Classy Gaze - Lost
Bet 7 Traralgon 4 - 1 Straight Legs - Won
Bet 8 Cranbourne 6 - 1 Just Look - Lost
Bet 9 Cranbourne 7 - 6 Great Pleasure - Unmatched
Bet 10 Traralgon 7 - Meteor Mistress - Unmatched
Loss $25.65 Overall Loss $11.65 (5 from 8 - 62%)
Bank 2
Bet 63 NBA Jazz + 6.5 vs Sun @ $2.10 - Won
Bet 64 NBA Hawks / Cavs / Heat / Hornets @ $5.20 - Lost
Profit $0.33 Overall Profit $43.76 (37 form 64 - 57%)
Bank 3 - RIP
Bet 51 Wyong 2,5,9 / 2,4,7,10 / 3,4,5,6 / 2,3,4,6 - 3.39% - Lost
Bet 52 Traralgon 1,2 / 4,6,11 / 1,3,7 / 2,3,4,6 - 6.94% - Lost
Loss $11.50 Overall Loss $101.34
I'm thinking I'll leave the unmatched bets in Bank 1 so that I balance out on 5 bets per day even if they aren't actually bets because they weren't matched.
Overall - it looks like the sports bank is still the only positive from all this but even it needs a bit more consistency. Definitely a learning experience at any rate.
Have a great day All
Just a quick wrap up of yesterday, no bets for now.
Firstly - the quaddie bank is dead, I was alive coming into the last leg in both but couldn't manage a result on either bet. I might bring it back in the new year but will see what happens. This one was always going to be higher risk so even getting to 52 bets wasn't too bad.
Secondly - a losing day for the new bank 1 - only got matched on 3 bets and 2 of them lost :( - on a bright note, I would've had a 3rd loser if I had got matched on all 5 - phew. There's a little bit of work to be done to iron out the wrinkles in this one. Just so you know, I decided to stick to a 5% of the bank $5 minimum approach.
I won't be betting Mondays + maybe Tuesdays on this one, there aren't enough races to choose from.
Thirdly - I almost got lucky on the sports bank with the Hawks getting to within 2 points in the end. The Jazz just held on so I pulled a small profit overall. I tried to get some sports bets on either today's NFL or NBA but I'm running a bit late and missed out.
Here's the results
Bank 1 - remember these are Lays - so Lost means the horse Won
Bet 6 Wyong 1 - 1 Classy Gaze - Lost
Bet 7 Traralgon 4 - 1 Straight Legs - Won
Bet 8 Cranbourne 6 - 1 Just Look - Lost
Bet 9 Cranbourne 7 - 6 Great Pleasure - Unmatched
Bet 10 Traralgon 7 - Meteor Mistress - Unmatched
Loss $25.65 Overall Loss $11.65 (5 from 8 - 62%)
Bank 2
Bet 63 NBA Jazz + 6.5 vs Sun @ $2.10 - Won
Bet 64 NBA Hawks / Cavs / Heat / Hornets @ $5.20 - Lost
Profit $0.33 Overall Profit $43.76 (37 form 64 - 57%)

Day 22 - Bank 3, one last breath?
Hey All,

Day 22 - phase 1
Morning All,
Copped a small loss last night but thinking about it I went the right way, kind of anyway. I was going to back Newcastle either way so adding the other 2 winners improved the price. Unfortunately Newcastle could only manage a draw so I would've lost anyway. I guess the better bet may have been the Arsenal / Chelsea double but hey - hindsight in punting, as everywhere else, is 20 / 20 vision.
Here's the results
Bet 61 Soccer Arsenal / Chelsea / Newcastle (all to win) @ $3.80 - Lost
Bet 62 Soccer Liverpool vs Blackburn @ $1.80 - Won
Loss $1.73 Overall Profit $43.43 (36 from 62 - 58%)
Here's today's NBA bets I'll be back with the racing in a little while
Bet 63 NBA Jazz + 6.5 vs Sun @ $2.10
Bet 64 NBA Hawks / Cavs / Heat / Hornets @ $5.20
Bet 64 was a mistake, I looked at the accumulators on Betfair and they mostly had the Nuggets included so I didn't want to play them - Hawks are the BIG worry and the reason I shouldn't have made the bet but hey, it's on - another lesson learnt - BE MORE CAREFUL.
Back soon with today's lays and possibly my last 2 quaddies.

Victory got rolled but still the bank grows so it's all good
Here's the results
Bet 59 Soccer Victory vs Glory @ $2.18 - Lost
Bet 60 Soccer Mariners vs Roar DRAW @ $3.45 - Won

And here's tonight's EPL bets.
Bet 61 Soccer Arsenal / Chelsea / Newcastle (all to win) @ $3.80

Day 21 - part 3, it just keeps on going
Hey All,
Back again.
Winning start for the new system :)
I do need to clarify something about it though - when I said I was risking my whole bank today it wasn't really the case. I was "potentially" risking my whole bank if everything I took on as a lay bet was paying $5, none of them actually were. As a result, the risk wasn't as big as I first indicated. The only won that was a lay and won was I've Got Talent and it was matched at evens so my loss on that race was only $5. Not quite the $20 it would potentially have been. I hope this makes sense.
Either way, here's today's results
Bank 1 (new bank, original is stored for my records - and to be included in my final figures when they come out)
Bet 1 Rosehill 1 - 1 Blackbriar - Won
Bet 2 Caulfield 3 - 3 Tolka Rock - Won
Bet 3 Rosehill 3 - 5 I've Got Talent - Lost
Bet 4 Caulfield 4 - 2 Flying Ruby - Won
Bet 5 Cheltenham 5 - 2 Danedina - Won
Profit $14 Overall Profit $14 (4 from 5 - 80%)
Bank 2
Bet 57 NBA Jazz vs Raptors @ $1.53 - Won
Bet 58 NBA Pistons vs 76ers @ $1.28 - Lost
Loss $3.43 Overall Profit $36.12 (34 from 58 - 58%)
Bank 3
Bet 49 Caulfield - 3,9 /1,3,6 / 2,4,6,10 / 3,4,9 - 6.94% - Lost
Bet 50 Rosehill - 4,6,10 / 8,9 / 3,6,9,12 / 2,4,5,8 - 5.21% - Lost
Loss $10 Overall Loss $89.89
Here's a couple of sports bets for this evening
Bet 59 Soccer Victory vs Glory @ $2.18
Bet 60 Soccer Mariners vs Roar DRAW @ $3.45
I'm going to have a nap for a bit
Bye for now

Day 21 - the next part
Hey All,
Back again.
Had to do some testing to on the new system and work out how to place my bets - it's going to be riskier than planned but I'll take the chance and see what happens.
Basically what I'll be doing is laying 5 horses per day on Betfair - I'm using Betting Assistant to place my bets so I can set it and forget it. I'm betting at the minimum stake of $5 - I probably could have found a way to drop that down further but I'll take the chance. I'll be effectively risking the whole $100 bank today so it'll be a little nerve racking but if I can get off to a start it'll get better as the bank builds. Maximum price I'll lay to is $5 - so my risk on each bet is $20. If the horse gets outside that price range the bet shouldn't get matched.
I'll need to have a good strike rate to make this pay so fingers crossed.
I didn't do yesterdays sports results so here they are - 2 winners :)
Bet 55 NBA Mavericks vs Suns @ $1.60 - Won
Bet 56 Soccer Adelaide vs Wellington @ $1.70 - Won
Profit $8.12 Overall Profit $39.55 (33 from 56 - 58%)
And today's bets
The new bank 1
Bet 1 Rosehill 1 - 1 Blackbriar - Won - this already ran as I was testing the system - a good start :)

Bet 3 Rosehill 3 - 5 I've Got Talent
Bet 4 Caulfield 4 - 2 Flying Ruby
Bet 5 Cheltenham 5 - 2 Danedina

Day 18 - 2 Another lesson learnt
Hey All,
So much for the plan of asking for a better price - didn't get matched on either of my sports bets and they both would've won, should've just taken the prices on offer :(
Oh well, got my money back so it could've been worse.
I'll do the results after tonight's racing - here's the quaddie for Canterbury
Bet 48 Canterbury 2,3 / 3,11,12 / 5,9 / 2,3,6 - 13.89%
The bank is getting pretty low - a win would be handy.
Back later

Day 17 - not counting rest days :)
Evening All,
I've decided to make a few changes and see if that helps things.
Firstly - bank 1 died, I've whacked another $100 in and have a plan but it won't start until Saturday, I'll explain it then.
Secondly - goodbye greyhounds and trots, my focus will now be on the gallops and sports. I think I was spreading myself too wide.
Hopefully the changes will turn things around.
Here's the missing sports results
Bet 51 Soccer Reading vs Coventry @ $1.56 - Won
Bet 52 Soccer Liverpool vs West Ham @ $1.37 - Lost
Loss $2.95 Overall Profit $23.34
And some sports bets for tonight
Bet 53 Soccer Manchester United vs Blackburn @ $1.65
Bet 54 Soccer Tottenham vs Watford @ $1.73
Hopefully I'll get that banks growing again.
Cheers,

Hey All,
Was going to post a few bets this morning but I have to get to work a bit earlier then normal, unfortunately.
Will be back tomorrow - I've got a new bank 1 ready to roll + have a plan on what I'll do with it. More tonight.
Have a great day All.

Rest - get mt head together - day
Morning All,
Bank 1 - DEAD :(
Why? Too many bets still, too many rushed decisions, too many poor quality selections.
I'll take today off the punt and work out my next plan of attack - early thoughts are to reload the bank and come back with a new plan, I have one in mind but will hold off for now as I think it through a bit more. The other thing I have to do is find a way to be able to put my bets on and still get to work on time. Some planning to be done.
Here's the results with the sports bets still running.
Bank 1
Bet 91 Albion Park Greys 1 - 1 Molly Gro Go @ $1.59
Bet 92 Wentworth Park Greys 4 - 3 Glen Oak Boy
Bet 93 Wentworth Park Greys 10 - 2 Icy Conquest
Lost $15.70 Overall Loss $100 :(
Bank 3
Bet 45 Wentworth Park 1,4,6 / 6,7,8 / 4,5,7 / 1,2,3,6,7 - 3.70% - Lost
Bet 46 Cranbourne 1,3,8 / 3,5 / 2,7 / 1,4,5,6 - 10.42% - Lost
Loss $10 Overall Loss $69.89
So I'll be back tomorrow, or maybe tonight after poker.
Either way, need to clear my head and do some thinking although I am learning a bit about my punting here and must admit I'm not feeling an urge to go back to what I was doing before - that's a very good thing.

Hey All,

Wipe-out today :(
Absolute SHOCKER - but while there's cash, there's hope :)
Unfortunately for Bank 1 - with only $15.70 left, it's do or die. Rather than keep $5 over I'll have 3 bets tonight and see what happens - $5.70 on the first. Fingers crossed.

Good Luck All
I'll try and get this in before my first bet runs in 9 mins - RUSH
Wipe-out today :(
Absolute SHOCKER - but while there's cash, there's hope :)
Unfortunately for Bank 1 - with only $15.70 left, it's do or die. Rather than keep $5 over I'll have 3 bets tonight and see what happens - $5.70 on the first. Fingers crossed.

Day 16 - Hello Summer :)
Morning All,
The 1st of December, the 1st of Summer - it's an interesting time of year - hotter, more festive, busier, the ladies wear skimpier clothes :)
Overall - it's a pretty good time of year.
Punting wise, not bad - lots of dry tracks and winners are normally not too hard to find. Well let's hope so anyway.
Here's last nights results
Bank 2
Bet 47 Soccer Chelsea vs Arsenal @ $1.93 - Lost
Bet 48 Soccer Portsmouth vs Blackburn @ $2.18 - Won
Profit $0.85 Overall Profit $40.31 (28 from 48 - 58%)
And today's bets
Bank 1
Bet 89 Port Macquarie race 4 - 1 Fleet Baron @ $4
Bet 90 Port Macquarie race 8 - 2 Young Beau @ $3
I don't know how good these prices will be but the problem I have is that Betfair's Tote link (where I have most of my Bank 1 bets) doesn't open till 9am and unfortunately I have to be on my way to work, or at work, by then. See how today goes and I'll work out what to do after that.
