Season so far is from 4th August to date. Looking at my bet history spreadsheet (how sad am I?) I have placed just over 150 bets (average 15 per month, so 4 per week.)

Usually the make up of the bets is 1 or 2 lines on the Saturday, a Sunday line and a midweek line.

Average is, therefore about £70 per bet, on basic maths of £10.5k staked for 150 bets, but this is masked by the fact that I do sometimes go mad, if I am winning and place a £100 or £200 accumulator.

I probably bet £20-£40 accumulators and, if I am not winning, go back to perms (any 3, 4 or 5 from 5, etc)

I place most of my bets on here, but I don't really have time to write any sort of analysis on why I have picked them. I read a lot from the threads here and get the 6 match form from papers like Racing Post and Racing & Football Insider, but PL usually gives me a great insight to form and team news, bogey teams, trends, etc. It's the best site around.

Have made a promise to myself to start to put some time aside next season to write more analysis on my picks, rather than just posting up the bets on the weekend - no reasoning - threads. A lot of people will not like my style of betting accumulators, similar to Nastro's style, but it has seen me right for years, and a lot of people will not like the fact I don't do enough reasoning. That is fair enough, I understand that.

I would do the Top Tipster, but I just don't have the time to write down my analysis (or have the internet access - as I don't get this site at work - probably just as well.)

Anyway - all the best with your bets. I am away to look at my bets for the Chamionship today.

Thanks for in-sight.reason i ask is thought it might be interesting start a thread somewhere about peoples experiences this season.This is my first season betting on mainly football and a little tennis,although the mrs makes me bet on the talent tv shows now and again!
i haven't kept an in depth record of my bets but i know i'm up £270,not alot but i think i've learnt more about what not to do than what to do.My biggest mistake being getting greedy after a win,several times i won £100-£200 quid and within a few days at least halved it if not in some cases lost it all.The most frustrating this year being hitting a high correct prediction ratio but still losing cos of trebles/four folds.for example last week i had zenit 4/1 but mixed it with fiorentina @ 1.5!!Lost count amount of times i had trebles and the lowest odds selection messed me up.
I also got stung by terms and conditions 4 times,which i'll go into if thread opened.
Anyway,this wrong thread go into more detail but what you think,would you all be interested in sharing your mistakes,successes if a thread was started?
