Rule of 3 (Paper Trade)

Junior Bettor · #1 (**permalink**) 17-12-2007, 16:45

Tried this a while back when I signed on to Bet365 (First betting site i joined up to)

the idea is, Take a bank, £10 for argument's sake, and bet is on an outcome. Repeat this 3 times, then, assuming you pick 3 winners, start again.

Ex.

Bet 1 - £10 @ 1.5 - Team A to beat Team B - £15 Returned
Bet 2 - £15 @ 1.3 - Team A to beat Team B - £19.50 Returned
Bet 3 - £19.50 @ 1.5 - Team A to beat Team B - £29.25 Returned

£19.25 Cleared Profit.

Then start again from £10.

I'm going to "paper trade" this for a while, to see if i can have success with it before doing it for real.

Bet 1 - £10 @ 1.67 - FC Koln to beat Kaiserslauten - Pending

Good luck sir

Any particular selection criteria? Are they all going to be football bets or across other sports?

Mostly football and NBA. No exact criteria, just things like form, league position and H2H's

So far, so good.

Not really..!!

Oxford game finished 0-0. Perhaps this isn't the way forwards.!

I'll try again tommorow.
