Forum is in another malaise at the moment , interest does go up and down it’s only natural
I always thought that targets were a good thing and something to be that be set and aimed for , even if falling short of the targets set there has to a way of measuring - The
Learning
Thought
Ingenuity
Perseverance
Accountability
Or whatever is your poison measure of success - most racing or gambling press give of the figure of 4% profit ( with inflation currently being 3.5% is not a realistic ambition for low figure punters other than as a leisure pursuit) as being realistic and the fact that only 2% of punters are long term profitable - load of Balls I say but what do I know of the whole population of punters.
So based on
pete Double your Money thread I will trying to double a “Bank” I was thinking 25 point / bet Bank - multiple betting in events is allowed Run through Dec to Jan 2026 should reduce the impulse to force a bet - bets don’t have to be original ie if you post it own your thread or elsewhere it / they can be used here , but please add some reason why it’s a bet, don't want to analyse the whole event just the reason’s why it’s being bet.
Type of Bets - anything -
Forecasts odds to be at SP
All others at available odds at the time of posting
Single wins
Lays
Place bets down to 4 place
Horse Racing
Football
Golf
Cricket
Who cares , as long all bets are posted before the off - at the available odds
Most posters will be able to create a profit loss table or spread sheet so please post your own p/l table with % profit - table stops at 25 bets
I know some cannot or do not actually bet money so paper trading is allowed
It’s not about bragging it’s about learning through interaction and reasoned decision making so the more members that join in the better the experience for all should be.
Thoughts and ideas as always welcomed - I will be starting my effort later this week.
