Final bets of Attempt number 1

Sadly, we have failed on our first attempt, but below are the final bets I made which all ended without anything to scream and shout about...

So we dust ourselves down and start again. I give myself a 48 hour cooling off period as well. It didn't seem right to just reload and set off betting straight away with no penalty for my lack of results. So the 48 hours thing I believe was a marker, were before on my previous challenge, it was reload and start over. Now I have something to think about again and yes I have learnt from my mistakes.

So with this now my 2nd attempt, it's officially called the,
" £50 to £25000 Betfair Challenge Attempt 2 "

I will start a new entry for the new bets, but keep the same blog. This way my fails will be all there to see and not some lie about doing this on my first attempt.

Close to a 2-3 correct score last night in the Anderlect game. FT was 2-2.

Had a few bets this afternoon, hope we get lucky!

Some bets...

Like I said in my last entry, instead of not writing every bet down due to the shear size and the opposite of that of not posting because there's too many bets to list, I have found a happy medium...... Just copy and paste the bets!

So here we go and the first bets are......

Hmmmm needs some work

Upon reviewing my last post with all my past bets on it, I think it's a struggle to see all of the info related to that bet. Although when I go to preview I can read the entire entry with stakes and whether it won or lost. So I will think of a better way for next time.

I'm also concerned about the lack of posts I make compared to my last attempt. My last attempt I blogged everything to do with the bet and how unlucky I was when it failed. But the trouble I have is you can see from my bet history on Betfair it's going to be time consuming if I was to blog every bet.
Thinking about it, I could just post the bets on the blog instead of writing about it every time and maybe do a weekly blog with the highs and lows.

I will give it a go and see how it goes. I doubt I will have another bet until weekend. But I did have a winner tonight, although I was quick enough to take advantage I was left with less than I should of. I mean it's not everyday you back 6-0 6-1 as a correct score in a football match, nut I did just that. It was Barcalona v Valencia in the semi final of the Spanish cup. But that's the beauty of Betfair, you can make a profit if it's close enough to my predictions. Anyways, in the 87 min it is indeed 6-0 and I backed it at odds of 24.00 for my £2 which is still my minimum bet. I was due to return £45 after commission, so I made sure I collected something just Incase Barcalona decided to score again....... I laid the bet off for £20 which would result in £16 regardless if they scored again, or £30 if it remained 6-0. No sooner had I laid it off for my £16 Barcalona go and score again to make it 7-0..... So looking back I was fortunate to lay some of it off and goes to show even if you fail with the FT correct score you can still make x10 your stake.

But of course, it doesn't always happen like that and tonight I had a fair few £2 correct score bets. One thing I forgot to do when I posted my previous bets was to give a Bankroll rollcall.... But it was £68. Currently it's about £50 but I'm happy overall. Ive still got x25 £2 single bets left yet and I only need one to fire it over my first mini barrier of £100.
I will post the Barca bets up when I have a bit more time.
