€20 to whatever

    Going to try a little experiment over the course of the summer using my PP and B365 accounts. I'm starting with a bank of €10 in each and aim to boost the balance up to a nice tidy sum for myself. Think of it as a long term rolling accumulator if you will. Now the aim is to do this using 'house money'.

    The first objective is to achieve 'house money'. With that in mind for the 1st bet of this log I'm looking at the HJK v KR match tomorrow.

    Bet #1 HJK to score 2 or more goals in the match.

    PP - €5 @ 4/11 Bank €5
    B365 - €5 @ 4/9 Bank €5

    The aim is to start rolling over from €1.50 with each bookie once 'house money' has been established. Going to be mainly looking at over/under in the football and GAA.

    Bets are in, away we go.

    Excuse my stupidity, but what is "house money"? Is it just betting with profit instead of your own money?

    Got it in one.

    The idea is to have the €5 back in my 'pocket' after bet 1 and then start betting with the profit only.

    It's generally how I usually bet. Not a fan of investing my own cash too often, much prefer betting the bookies cash :cool:

    But if you win the bookies money becomes your money so you bet your money each time.

    also, what summer?

    good luck.

    Fair point, however for the purposes of this log I will be considering it the bookies money until I have withdrawn it.

    I'll get into targets etc later after the result of the first match.

    Log has died unfortunatley, going to focus on inplay for a while and then start up again.

    The football and rugby can't come back soon enough

    Right, re-established House Money so next up is the Icelandic football, specifically IBF Keflavik v Flykir Reykjavik.

    The stats show that both eams score plenty of goals so I'll be looking at BTTS in this one, kick off is at 8, tis not up yet price wise so I'll be going inplay for this one.

    Using PP, B365, Lads and SkyBet for this one, stake is going to be a euro across all 4.

    PP €1 @ 4/6
    B365 €1 @ 8/13
    Lads €1 @ 4/7
    SkyBet €1 @ 8/13



    Bet put on 10 mins into the game

    I prefer different bookies for different events to be fair.

    For example its only PP that do the alt handicaps on the rugby (my main bread and butter, roll on September lol)
