No More Internationals....

[Punto Banco]

I feel like I have to post this now.... I will not be touching International football qualifiers again with anything over 2 unit bets and that is only when I see something special (my average top league bet is around 7 units). I almost vomit at the thought of my profit figure if I did not bet on any qualifiers this season.

My average bet for these matches is 1.25% of my bank (Current bank) approximately 35% lower than most other leagues/ categories and while my yield % is so dismal variance MUST have played some part in it however it is still the worst of the worst for me over the years and instead of scraping through even like usual it has exploded in a downward spiral of red figures... I was going to paste my excel graph in here but I can't seem to work that out so here is my table minus the actual bets. Sure it is only 21 bets however previous results tell me I personally simply cannot make money here (looks like ill be playing poker or pissing up more on weekends now)...

Just make a bet when it stands out, you seem to be betting to often to make a profit mate. I normally place 1 big bet a week, sometimes more when they tickly my fancy and im doing very well this season. Hope this helps.

I am fine atm after cutting these type of bets I have scored my most profitable month ever.... I am happy enough... I have my rules set out in place for betting in all forms (game limits... staking system etc) this was simply about me picking losers for this type of bet... having a hard time winning long term...
