Its that time of year when the summer holidays have to be paid off. Lets see if we can get the bookies to help out. Target £2000 profit in 3 bets.
Bet 1 Nelson du Ronceray 100£ ew, 4-1 Bet 365, available now.

I think £2000 profit in 50 bets might be a more realisitc and achievable aim.

Hexam abandoned, will be back in touch soon. P.S I dont think I have placed 50 bets in my whole life, thats gambling.
It’s not gambling at all, not if you are betting at the right odds.
I set odds for each runner in a race and it’s not unusual for me to end up with 3 or 4 running for me in the same race, particularly in big handicaps where in extremis I’ve backed 10 out of 30 runners.
My aim over those 50 bets would be to bet at favourable odds and steadily accumulate profit. That may be many things, but I can assure you gambling it aint!
Rob
ah is that all tthat value betting stuff, well each to there own, looks from the outside in that it would consume alot of your time though
It averages about an hour a day, because I concentrate on chases in Scotland and the North and the better class races (Class 1 and 2) at all the meetings. This means I’m covering more races at the weekend and towards the end of the week, and there’s a lot action during the festivals.
I do spend extra time keeping notes which I post on the forum, particularly when I go racing, but apart from helping my betting it’s a hobby.

I believe I have a positive expectation of a return over a period of time. On this basis I treat my betting as an investment rather than gambling.
investment –
1. the investing of money or capital in order to gain profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value.The money I stake is set aside, so any risk is calculated and reduced to a minimum.
Of course there is always the chance that investments may go down instead of up …….
Returning to the original post by

, and the main point I was making, he would be much better off staking on a large number of bets over a period rather than going for a big hit in 3 bets. I’ve financed holidays myself from betting and it’s from steady returns over a period of months or years.

Anyway back to paying that holiday off. First bet £250 win on "take me there" 15:20 southwell 11/4 bet 365 available now
Never mind, Roonaldo. Seems to me, Wymott was a ‘chasing losses’ type of bet, following Take Me There’s failure. Perhaps Robnorth’s approach to betting might be the wisest option. As it is, it looks as though that caravan might be worth booking now.
Perhaps you’ll do a Lazarus and surprise me but there’s worse places than Bognor for having a holiday, I think.
Good Luck and Good Wishes.Objective met, well done to all those who followed the staking plan, go pay your holiday off, you should also have a bit of change to get the wifes valantines day present and have a night out with the lads. See you soon.
Fine if you have a bank to support a single bet of £7000!
Come to think of it, if you can afford a bet of £7000, why not use that for your holiday money?
Meanwhile back in the real world …….
