Not going well at the moment but still plenty of betting left in this. It should stretch out to the end of the month but by then I could be betting pennies before sticking in more cash at the end of the month. I have to stick with it though. The reason is obvious why is not going well and that is because my selections hav not been good. Hopefully though if I run it for a few months I will hit a purple patch and recoup some of the losses whenever that may be.

I have been running three of these elsewhere. One is going much the same as this, one is doing alot better (75% recouped, 50% balance left) and one going great guns (125% recouped with 43% balance left). Part of my problem at the moment is that I have so many selections so from next month I will just run with this one.

I've not given up on this month yet. No matter how small every penny banked is covering the shortfall. At the moment I am £122 down this month so hopefully I can reduce that figure as that is a negative I need to carry into next month. I've also £90 short on my balance which is what I need to put in next month so also have fingers crossed I can pump the balance back up a bit.

The first month though I didn't expect to go well and there is a learning curve so over time things should improve. The ultimate purpose of this is to get to a stage where the bank is recouped and every bet is pure profit. A long way off this month but still early days.
