I’m totally on board with this. I also understand and accept your point of view. What I would like to understand is the difference between your measurement data and mine with respect to Bet10. I believe the truth - or reason of my poor result - lies here.
I captured 700 bets within 68 days and you did 30k bets within 90 days. How could it be?
Since I am at home and actively using the software and I could catch 700 bets only. My settings are the following:
If I increased the variance by changing the widest possible tolerance for value, odds and time I would received more bets for sure. But not 10k more?!
The bottom line in my opinion is that if you developers can capture all possible bets of each bookmaker while we users just a small piece of it (700 vs 10-20-30k) a significant difference in the figures can be observed. If this difference persist in a negative way for a year or more that could be a deal-breaker in our profitability and betting career. I also feel that we don’t compare an apple with an apple and the outcome is that your experience with 10Bet is the opposite as mine.
I will continue to log and play 10Bet bets. I just hope that in a few months my figures will turn around. In the meantime I have several questions, appreciate your response in advance:
1.) What is the process of yours of capturing the 30k bets (automatically or manually collected)? What are the settings (min/max value and odds, markets etc.)?
2.) I still believe that having a separate bankroll for each bookmaker is something that you guys can consider. It’s not comfortable to use my credit card as part of my bankroll, financially its difficult to separate it from other costs and to track. If my bankroll changes by let’s say 25% I recalculate it. If Bet365 has a yield of 6.9% whilst Unibet does -3% I would play a safety game and use different stake% and bankroll management. Even if I will never hit the expected true value. I have doubts that we can ever reach it or how long it takes to get there.
Simon was discussing the possibility of different stakes / bookmaker. This doesn’t fall far from my suggestion above. Some feature suggestions
