Hello guys!

If you followed me, you've seen my betting results on first days of August.

Let's make a simulation and let's say you've put money on my bets. We will start on the first day with 100$. I will present you 2 methods:

  1. The cautious method:
  • 1st bet: 100$ x @1.9 = 190$ (you've got your 100$ back + 90$ profit. On the next one only bet the profit).
  • 2nd bet: 90$ x @2.00 = 180$
  • 3rd bet: 180$ x @2.45 = 441$ (this is a big amount to bet, so put half aside - 221$).
  • 4th bet: 220$ x @2.45 = 539$ (also put half aside - 269$. Till now you have 490$).
  • 5th bet: 269$ x @2.3 = PENDING. If you WIN, you will have 618$ + 490$ = 1108$. If you lose, you remain with 490$ (which is not bad at all for 6 days).

2. The brave method:

  • 1st bet: 100$ x @1.9 = 190$ (you've got your 100$ back + 90$ profit. On the next one only bet the profit).
  • 2nd bet: 90$ x @2.00 = 180$
  • 3rd bet: 180$ x @2.45 = 441$
  • 4th bet: 441$ x @2.45 =1080.45$
  • 5th bet: 1080.45$ x @2.3 = PENDING. If you WIN, you will have 2485,035$. If you lose, you lose nothing. You have your 100$ to start again.

I admit I'm not brave. I don't have the nerves to bet 1080$ on a single game. I am the cautios guy, because I know one day I will lose and I don't want to lose everything. I want to bet from the profit I made from betting. Also I'm not an betting expert. I'm a marketing guy with a degree in economics. Maybe that's why I put money aside. I have an economic thinking.

I just want to say that you can make some money from betting if you bet with your brain and not with your greed. You have to keep tracking your money and see how much you afford to bet and how much you afford to lose. I only bet the surpluses of money I have.

You don't have to be greedy. I was greedy. I was betting on 5 or more games on a single ticket just to have a bigger odd, just to win more money. But did I win? No, of course. I lost. And lost. And lost. Till one day when I put myself in front of the mirror and had a discussion with me. And I've said to myself: That's it. STOP. THINK. You can do it if you do it with your brain. It's a game. They want you to lose. You have to beat them.

I admit that you can't beat them every month. For example the World Cup. That was a disaster. It's just like a game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. You have to win more times than you lose.

I think we can help each other more. I don't know how many of you read my post. But if I count the number of upvotes, a few. That's not a problem. You lose (in fact we lose togheter). But we can win together. For example if you know some information about a game that I post, and the information you have can influence the game, just say it. Maybe a key player will miss the game and I missed that. That's precious information. Or I don't know. Just say: man, you're wrong. Here is why: ... and say it ... I do not mind. I appreciate it. You can save me money. I admit that neither I did comment on your post even if I saw something wrong. And that was a mistake. I could have saved you some money. But I will. Because it's not a fight between us. Which one has more winning bets. It's a fight with them. With the bookmakers. With the football mafia which is buying matches (but this is another discussion).

I try to choose the best matches to bet on. Those with the highest chances of success. Probably my odds will never be bigger than @2.45. But it is enough for me. I don't want to get rich by betting. Better said I know that I can't get rich by betting. That's why I have a full time job. I just want to win some extra money.

And NO, I did not start with 100$. It's just an example. I don't have 100$ with which I have nothing to do and start betting. I start with 20$. 

As a final thought: together we are strong. Together we can form a strong community of bettors. Together we can win some money. Share the information you have!

Thank you for reading this!
