£1000 Banked... Now £1214 - £3000 Challenge

i did something similar to this before and failed, but looking back i was far overly agressive in terms of BR management. Also picking bets for the sake of it most days...

So it will be a fairly simple task of turning 1k into 2k, i wont be setting any sort of time limit for it, i will use a points based system so 1pt = £10, and will be betting between 0.5pts and 5 points depending how much i like the bet. if i drop to £500 then i will halve my stakes.

i wont post every single bet i have on here, but only bets that i post in here prior to an event starting will count towards this challenge.

It will mainly be football and golf bets, although i may include some Snooker, Tennis and Horse racing along the way. 

I would say 75% of bets will be ones ive found myself, and 25% will be tips that i like the look of myself. 

if anyone has any questions, advice, abuse etc feel free to get involved. 

so here we go starting balance £1000

    First thing first will be the U.S open.

    my bets are as follows

    2pt ew Fowler 22/1
    1pt ew DJ 7/1
    1pt ew Garcia 25/1
    1pt ew Thomas 33/1
    1pt ew Hatton 125/1
    1pt ew Jaeger 500/1

    so that a decent chunk already, but there is great each way value in the majors so im happy to have 6 punts. i may have a few in-play bets on the exchange but wont include any of them in this challenge.

    Cheers guys.. 1 bet I have had today. 

    1pt ew Get Knotted. 2.20 at York

    another bet i had yesterday which hasnt become live yet...

    1pt ew Ingvartsen top scorer in the under 21 euros 66/1 

    The golf isnt looking too bad, 3 players still in with a chance of winning and a 500/1 shot still in with an outside chance of placing.

    1pt on Samedov to score 2 or more for Russia at 25/1

    certainly not a tip, just a saturday afternoon bet, but he has a very decent goalscoring record and New zealand shouldnt have too much to offer from what i have seen of them before

    Spains under 21 line up looks insane tonight, and Skybet have boosted Sandro to 4/1 to score 2 or more (as shorts as 2/1 with other sites) i really like this bet so will be going 4pts

    Shoulda just whacked the £1k on City to win the league next season, you'd be sat on £3k this time next year.

    I think we'll walk it, even without Zabaleta :(

    5-0 win and the striker cant even notch one!! typical

    I agree H i think its yours to lose providing your keeper doesnt turn out to be another Bravo


    i love the fact we have signed Zaba, just the kind of attitude we need in our squad, i just it doesnt go the same way it has before when have signed ageing players on big money, Dyer, Ljungberg, Mccarthy etc, lets hope he turns out to be more of a Sheringham.

    Pretty bad end to the golf for me, but my nap did place which gives me £108 back in the betting bankroll.

    no luck but a good result for england


    got a 4pt bet i love in the next match

    Dagerstal to be carded 9/1... the other two sites that price this market have him at 11/4, hes a central defender and it should be an even game so it surely has to offer some value.

    No luck in that race...

    3 bets i like in the under 21 game at 5pm though...

    Serbia are definitely the better team and Plavsic is 6/1 to score with Fred. hes a tricky winger but looks to have been given a more attacking role for this game and is roughly 3/1 with most other places so im having 4pts on that one.

    2 pts each on Babunski 7/1 and Maksimovic 9/1 to be carded, purely because they are starting and id expect a feisty game so anyone over 5/1 cant be too bad value.
