Around 400 bets and 300 euro profit!
I have learned a lot about valuebetting and I keep history of all my bets (last picture show the best profit area)
Really nice profit from the “2” 
i have this question for myself maybe you can help me! im a poker player and i understand the value of studying poker! but in value bets i dont see what can i study or the value in studying since we just placing the bets that the software shows! can you explain to me what you mean you learnes a lot about value betting? thanks mate and gl
@brozac Welcome! If you’re a poker player you might know of EV already (expected value). You can read how value is calculated here: How is the value calculated?
Reply in that thread if you have more questions!
This is my graph after over 500 bets.
I wont bet on anything either. It has to be over 2%, over 2.5% if over 1 hour, 4$ if over 2 hours, over 7.5% if over 6 hours. But wont bet if more than 8 hours. I take bets between 1.3 and 3.3. Any tips, I guess a lot of people might have given up after a start like this. Seems im the only one with a graph like this.
What bookmakers and sports?
Hi Simon,
Bet365, marathon, 888, betfair. Nearly always football is all that’s coming up and AH markets. Maybe 5% basketball, 5% baseball.
I dropped WH as nothing has been coming up.
Any ideas?
Yes, check your yield on Betfair. It might be the problem here?

Betfair has been one of my profitable ones (only just). 888 is down 23.8%, marathon down 13.2%. Just keep plugging away I guess. Unless anymore tips. Im going to drop betfair anyway, can do without any extra variance at this stage. I cap myself at 1% betsize and on 30% Kelly as well, hopefully in a week or so I can post a much improved graph.
Just wanted to give a little update and this should show some encouragement to anyone starting out on a downswing. The graph above was the low point at 500 bets, but now at 950 bets things have been looking better. I didnt really change anything. I stopped using betfair (which was profitable, but could increase variance a little). Otherwise i just was unlucky to start on the downwards side of a trend.

Well this happened quicker than expected and to think after 500 bets i was close to calling it quits.
1400 bets in and i’ve doubled my starting balance. Keeping to 30% kelly with no more than 1.5% of my bank on a single bet. I managed to get down 130 bets yesterday while looking after 2 poorly kids, the bets were endless, i could change my rules so i only bets on margins of 2.5% or higher within the hour or 3% or higher within 2 hours…the bets kept flooding in, nearly all on marathon or bet365. I’ve turnt over nearly £17k with a 5.89% yield. Im only about 1 month in and for the last 2 weeks ive only bet on the weekends. I know ive been running lucky, just waiting for the downswing to start but im just hoping for a steady ride with no big swings.
