A day of profit yesterday which is unusual for this thread. Got a bit lucky last night but I'll take it. I'd much rather be betting a little safer at the moment but by "safe" bets are going as bad as my riskier ones so might as well go for it. In tonight's match for example I think there will be lots of goals but it could just as easily go the other way. Ajax have been scoring and leaking all over the place so that's why I am taking overs but sometimes that may make teams more eager to keep a clean sheet- hopefully not. The difference is price between over 2.5 and 3.5 was enough to push me onto the latter.

1/3 of my outlay has been recouped which isn't a good start but with a bet win ratio under 50% I can expect no less. That ratio needs to be between 65-70% ideally and that's what I will be aiming for next month. If I can back 50% before the end of the year I'll be happier than I am at the moment. The balance though is probably more important as that is what needs topped up at the end of the month. for better days.
