£1,000 - £5,000 spin up attempt

[Brodders]

Since the beginning of August, I've been looking to spin up from a starting bank of £1,000 up to my target by the end of May 2012. At the moment, i'm keeping a level £100 stake on single football bets and will increase this to 10% of bankroll per bet as I go along.

Bets so far -

AH stands for Asian Handicap which means if the team wins by the handicap then stakes are refunded. A good way of hedging a handicap bet.

I'll post bets as I do them - nothing today but wish me luck ! Will try to do better than Betting The Value or whatever he calls himself next week !!

Have had £150 on Spain v Chile at 8/15 today looking for some cheap money

Don't bet on friendlies !

[Brodders]

[Brodders]

Games between Spain and Spanish speaking countries are rarely treated like friendlies but it was a good point. I wasn't expecting it to be quite that close though !!

[Dall Sun]

Nice comeback by Spain, Brodders I bet that was like hitting a 1 outer !

Have had £150 at 1.70 on Argentina -1 AH v Nigeria.

Looking good at half time !

Running total - £1,603.82

Have gone for £150 @ 8/11 on HJK Helsinki v TPS Turku today...

Annoying - 1 goal up and comfortable and then concede a penalty and go down to 10 men for the last hour... end up losing 2-1. Onwards and (hopefully) upwards...

Running total - £1,453.82
