My Corner Challenge

edited February 2011 in Sports & Betting Chat
I thought I would start a new betting challenge in the Asian Total Corners market.

I'm starting with a bank of £100 and my stake will always be 3% of my Highest Bank .

I have never done anything like this before, so this is for a bit of fun. I will keep my records on this thread for everyone to see how (badly) i do. lol.

All my bets will be Unders and I will post my selections on here as soon as I place the bets. Im doing all my bets on the one site, so inevitably I won't get the best price on every selection.

Any questions feel free to ask. Wish me luck.


Day 1 (15/02/2011), Today's Stake = £3.00

1.) Cardiff v Burnley   Under 11 @ 1.825
2.) Hartlepool v Charlton   Under 10.5 @ 1.95
3.) Stevenage v Oxford   Under 10.5 @ 1.85

    I guess only time will tell. I know what you mean though. I have never bet on this kind of market before, so at the moment it's just for a bit of fun. My selections are based on both teams having lower than average corners in their matches this season. Hopefully, in the coming weeks, some patterns will emerge that will improve my selections.

    Day 3 Selections

    There are no selections today. I had a quick look at tomorrow's fixtures and there should be one bet at least for them. Then on Saturday and Sunday we will have lots.

    It's been an up and down start, only had four bets so far though. I don't think I have mentioned this before, but if for instance my bet is Under 10 and the match has exactly 10 corners, then my stake is refunded. I'm sure this will occur at some point over the weekend.

    Reason for just unders is purely just to keep things simple. I'm not expecting to make any serious money out of this system, it's just something different I have never done before and a bit of fun. 

    Although next season I'm planning on doing a "laying" system on the actual result of matches. This corner system is just to give me an idea of what it's like to do one, without actually risking much money.

    Let's hope I have a better day today.
