79 markets. 2 reds totalling £71.39. A reasonable week. Discipline held up well. My first red coming on Saturday when Wigan somehow managed to score 4 goals before HT and I reddded out rather than wait to see how it went. A larger red on Sunday when I stayed in the Chelsea match far longer than I should have. Good thing I left when I did though as the goals continued to come in. Overall I'm still liking this unders method but the temptation to ride out early goals to the end is strong.

I've been using Zoombet on my mobile for at work trading. I'm liking it quite a bit. It's much faster than Betfair's own offering and you can even use it to change bet persistence after a match has gone in play. Something I can't do on the website or on Betting Assistant from Grussoft. Handy at times.

Keep it green everybody.

87 markets. 6 reds totalling £511.46. 3 of these reds amounted to about £30 total and were exactly the sort of reds that you should take when using the new strategy. Unfortunately it was the other 3 that sank most of my bank. I was having a good week up until Friday evening. I had made over £100 green, I had made a large withdrawal(63%) from my bank but didn't think it was bothering me much to be operating with smaller. Last match of the night on Friday, Argentina 2nd Div, I make green on under 6.5 but decide to go back in on under 5.5 and then the goals start coming and even though I had the opportunity to red out for a tiny amount on more than one occasion I didn't take it and I lost my stake. I did the same thing on Saturday night after a all green day this time on Argentina Premier Div under 5.5. Same story, plenty of chances to red out small or scratch and I didn't take them. Same shit on Sunday Man u v Everton. I knew that what costs you using this method was to sit through that many goals and not take the red out opportunities when they come but I did it anyway. 3 times in 3 days. Madness. I don't know where my head was at. I had already taken several small reds over the past 2 weeks and saw how they were easily recoverable so why I chose to adopt a cross my fingers approach I don't know.

My bank is much reduced so now comes the rebuilding.

Keep it green everybody.

121 markets. 3 reds totalling £25.72. The something new I tried worked quite well. After reading all 270 odd pages of a thread in the forum about an under 6.5 goals challenge I decided to try my own spin on things. I've been primarily backing under 7.5/6.5/5.5 at between 1.02 and 1.04 and greening out at 1.01. A lot of pre-match backing but some in play up till half time depending on goals scored. The three reds I took were the only occasions where I felt I needed to exit as there were too many goals scored to early for my taste.The reds were all much smaller than reds taken during other methods I've used. I've not developed any hard and fast rules for my red out points yet, just going with what feels right. I did not at any point ride a position all the way to the end as this is how the majority of people in the thread would get busted after a long streak of wins. I'm going to continue this and see how it goes.

Tennis.

9 markets. 1 red of £125.09. My only major loss of the week. A foolish back of Pennetta against Beygelzimer. After an initial good start , which I should have greened out on, she fell to bits and I took the red when it went pear shaped. She did bring it back to start price in the third before losing but it was probably wise that I didn't hold on for that. Wisest thing would have been to avoid it altogether. PENNETTA?! WTF?!!

I need to make a sizable withdrawal this week unfortunately. The DIY continues to clean me out regularly.

Keep it green everybody

52 markets. 3 reds totalling £213.31. I was having a great week up until Saturday night when in the last match of the night I got shafted by the last second , wrongly awarded, penalty given in the Betis v Villareal match. It was clear from the video replay that the goalie didn't actually make contact with the player. Yet again we are shown the inadequacies of human refereeing in this sport. I followed this with another early goal loss in the Levante v Atletico Madrid match on Sunday morning. I then did something stupid which I'm not going to mention for the third loss.

Tennis.

13 markets. No reds. By contrast the tennis was relatively painless this week. I had to scratch my back of Sosur against Venus on Friday when she began to struggle a bit but apart from that smooth sailing. For a change.

Well at least I brought the week back to green overall. I may try something new for a bit. Let you know.

Keep it green everybody.

29 markets. 2 reds totalling £179.12. The early goal in the Osasuna v Real Madrid match and the last second goal in the Tottenham v Bolton game did me in this week. I should have got out of the Spanish match when the over 1.5 price didn't rise after the first 5 mins.

Tennis.

20 markets. 4 reds totalling £147.76. A bit all over the place with the tennis although I brought it back to near even at the end of the week.

Keep it green everybody.
