Ok, so the second day is now under my belt, and again, what a rush of excitement, disappointment and triumph, all rolled into one. So the main points - did I make a profit? YES!!! Woohoo! Ok, second point, how much? £45!
So in two days, i have made £145 clear profit - not bad at all, and to be honest, much more than I anticipated.
My staking plan is still based on a £2 stake as a starting point - whilst doubling this would effectively double my profit, I am sure there will be a downward swing at some point, and I want to make sure my bankroll is big enough to handle that first.
Again, I backed both tips in each race, which was sort of counter profit productive, but it did increase my strike rate considerably. Again, once my bankroll is bigger ( probably £500+), I will go with just one favourite per race, as i could then afford for a longer string of losers.
I have had a few questions from readers of this blog already - thanks for the questions and keep the coming - they actually help as they make me think of angles I hadn’t thought of yet.
A good question was : ” Would you say your success is due to the tips, or your betfair system? “.
Great question and the answer is not straight forward. The truth is, the tipping service helps choose the horses. Something I could do myself, but it takes ALOT of time to do properly, and for the subscription I pay, its more than worth it. The betfair system, which is effectively a staking system, helps to manage my bankroll to ensure my best chance at profit. So they go hand in hand.
At the moment, one without the other would not work.
Ok, onto the juicy stuff, the results - see my bets below - have a good day! :
