As I don't have the discipline you have, I will definitely reach my target within the season, if I don't blow it on the way, of course. With 2 bets a day(in-running markets mainly) it will take me half a year to increase the bank 31+ times after comission. A great number imo. However, I will have to take note of your experience as you are close to 200 altogether, an absolutely respectable number.
Thanks mate
As long as you know about football (or the stats are at hand), and with more than enough luck, it can be achieved!!
Theres been so much times (especially with new 'toys' being released all the bloody time - dont even get me started on how much I want Guitar Hero 3!!), that Iv thought, "Fcuk it, Ill just go all in" on a 1/4 shot, for the crack. 1/4 should be a dead cert, right?? Just gotta hold yourself back, and look at the big picture.
Can be hard, when after 90+ bets your still making less than £1 profit sometimes
If ever you feel youv been a bit too risky (mind you I regard laying 0-0 as too risky!! ) don't hesitate to PM me if you want me to help you with a selection. As long as your willing to except odds of 1/100
tbh I still cant believe my attacking thread is still running, considering Im betting on things which at points are like 1/38.

I never have thought about trying to ever make a certain amount per day, or per week, like you are saying with your 1% target. I only go with what I feel is a very unlikely event, regardless of the odds.
All I would say is, don't let the odds be your guide, at the end of the day, there only other peoples estimations of the outcome, and not your own.
But best of luck for next season, look forward to keeping up with it

Thanks guys!!
Can only try my hardest, and hope against any ridicolous upsets!! Well at least in the 2 games left before the 100 mark.
Cheers
