£2500 to zero challenge 😆

Hi I do like reading people's gambling and banking strategies.

My favourite being mistrpj a proper racing fanatic with a unique delivery. Shame he's not local to Leics!

I'd like to start my own starting with £2500 bank and seeing how long it takes to empty it. I think it will last 2 yrs.

I trade on Betfair but have never had good computing skills and would like to know how I can take pictures of wagers and proof them on here.

It will include trades and outright wagers.

Will also give entertainment to all of my detractors. I won't include poker as I know that's only a loss of around £150 per year.

So computing skill help needed particularly envious of those of you posting pics and vids.

Gl 😉

    Hi,

    This should be a fun read. I've moved it to "Sports and Betting Chat" which should help it get more eyeballs.

    Hi @thefall.

    On Betfair once you've placed the bet and been matched simply highlight it and then copy and paste as per usual.

    Once done it should look like the examples in my blog.

    Same process once you've traded out.

    A starting bank of £2500 is something many can only dream of.

    You should never, with good staking ()1%-2% of the fund and strategies (which will you use), ever be going broke from there.

    A 75% hit rate at average 25-35% ROI allows for the 1 in 4 loss of 70% and still shows a profit, and as long as you use low risk strategies this is very achievable.

    Enjoy your trading.

    If you're on Windows use the snipping tool. Just type snip into the bottom left box on Windows. You can google a guide on how to use if it doesn't seem obvious. It's very simple to use.

    Once you've taken a snip there is a 'copy' button at the top. Click that and then paste directly into your forum posts.

    Clicking pasting cutting all things I've not done.

    I'll have a practice at that this weekend if I'm successful I'll start posting 🍻.

    Thanks for banking advice but I'm OK with staking ideas etc. Been punting since Red Alligator won National and the old man kept my winnings bless 😆

    I go back to the days of ten percent off your winnings on course I've probably over estimated my incompetence might take 3 years 😉

    Good punting all

    With that starting Bankroll and using the heid you should be able to double that no problem, I started with a measly £20 in Nov/ Dec doing fitba trades and I am up to £104 without taking it too serious, so you can see that with a bigger bank, bigger opportunities, just expect loads of ups and downs.

    I wish I could fail as well as you do.... ;)
  • thefallthefall Member Posts: 1,976
    Stick around T!

    It will get messy very soon I promise 😉
  • thefallthefall Member Posts: 1,976
    Newton Abb 14.35

    I've laid Scrumpy Boy @ 3.15 for £50

    Trying to get a bit more at 3.05 and 3.1. Both £ 50 units.

    Can't resist these bets and they've cost me down the years. So fingers crossed 🤞.

    Good punting
