    I never really gambled before but decided to give it a go on the 27th, and with 5 days experience behind me and having turned 55 euro into a bank of 108 euro with 5 in play, I have 5 in play which are all ridiculous odds on, I consider these my safe bets and a way of getting rid of the money for a short time so as not to blow it all on the horses if things are going wrong

    In Play
    Eur basketball-neptune to win (2|7-potential return 6.04)
    Eur basketball-UCC Demons to win (1|7-potential return 6.31)
    Eur basketball-Montepashi sie to win (1|8-potential return 6.31)
    American footy college-Florida to win (2|11-potential return 7.14)
    Darts-Taylor to win (1|5-potential return 7.11)

    So I'm starting the day with a bank of 107.17 (1 pt is 2.17 euro) and the horses for today that I'll be betting on are but will only bet if odds are better than 1.37

    12'25 Southwell Look officer 1.75-Loss
    12'55 Tramore snowy morning 1.5-Loss
    13'00 Southwell Rebel duke 3.0-Win Breaking even at this point(I betted the min here as Tramore hadn't finished :rolleyes:)
    13'35 Southwell Dart 0.83-Win I broke the 1.37 rule above but just had a good feeling,3.62 euro up and back to 2.17 bet
    13'40 Cheltenham Punchestown 0.53-Non runner
    14'00 Tramore Ballyvoille 3.34-Non runner
    14'40 Southwell inside track 1.20-Loss
    15'15 Southwell Miss glitters 2.25-Loss
    15'20 Cheltenham Mr Thriller 0.67-Loss Again should not have backed this because of the odds

    The 2pm bet doesn't sit too easy with me, so may not go through with it, I'll start with a bet of 2.17 and if it loses I'll go up to 4.34 and so on.
    Any advice and comments are very much welcomed as I'm pretty much a novice and have got most of my info from here and google :D
    Will update later and tell you how I went

    Well I lost 9.40 euro, and I learnt a couple of things also.
    Stick to the rules and I have to allow more than 5 mins between races.
    I also had one other bet which lost, Bronx boy, so total loss on the horses for today 11.57.
    Debating whether or not to take another 11.57 and try my luck on the greyhounds.

    I've still been experimenting the last few weeks and have still managed to keep my bank. I've been covering myself with sometimes betting on 2/3 horses per race and tomorrow I'll still do the same but I'm going to split my bank in 2, bank A and Bank B. I also think my staking plan needs to be a bit more on the riskier side but I just can't get the right balance, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Bank A will be betting on 1 horse only per race and for that horse to win.

    My choices are

    Southwell 14'20 Bubbly bellini
    Southwell 15'20 Premier lad
    Lingfield 15'30 Arganil
    Wolver 16'40 Elite land
    Wolver 17'10 Chosen forever
    Wolver 18'10 Ahlawy

    Ended up 3.5 pts down for the day, completely blame it on Thurles which was a disaster and took whatI made from wolverhampton and fairy house
