I have been using ValueBetting quite a while and I have been negative for almost all time apart from a few days in the start, I suppose I had some bad luck.
However, reading all posts here I trusted the long term results and I have kept betting.
I had reached almost a negative profit of 1000 EUR, and now I am around a negative profit of 300 EUR. Meaning that I have done a profit of 700 EUR since the very negative results and I keep going!
Hopefully I will be on the plus side very soon!
RebelBetting has been very helpful, I have tried to be consistent although it’s not easy to keep pushing a lot of bets every time, but the more you go the better the results will be.
Yes, of course the available bets will be reduced. Nevertheless, I really think it will make it better… Try it, even for two-three days to see what will be the trend.
Before stopping to bet on a bookie, I would make a check on the last 20-30 bets on that bookie to see if you were properly beating the closing line (i.e. your CLV is positive most of the time).
If you beat the closing line 70-80+% of the time, then it means you are good, just stick to the betting strategy and the variance will turn at some point.
If you see however that you are indeed not beating often enough the closing line on that bookie, something might be wrong indeed.

Hello!
Due to personal reasons (had traveled abroad) I had stopped using value betting for quite a while.
I strongly believed it worked. For instance I was down 1k EUR, and managed to go profitable to 200-300 EUR, but then went down again a bit.
All in all though the more you play the more you will improve your results, this is my understanding.
I am back now so I’ll try to get back to the game.
For myself, I did put something extra to my bankroll because I could. It doesn’t mean that you have to do it as well, but it probably helped me get back to positive or break even sooner than what I would with my initial reduced bankroll because of the negative results.
@LolloB
you throw out quite a lot of statements like this… 8th of February you claimed pretty much the same things and actually wrote that you are gonna leave…
Do you have any factual basis for that or you are just enjoy complaining?
In my, not so humble, opinion this has very little to do with luck. If members are beating the closing line significantly more than what they, statistically, should be doing then it is not luck. I dare you to bet opposite to the suggested Valuebets.
Most members biggest headache is how to keep the accounts alive while you keep writing about “luck”.
But I do understand, it is difficult to handle mentally (and sometimes financially) when a big downswing hits, or when you have a bad start.
Well good luck to you, whatever you chose to do.
Sorry to you all for my posts. I was a little frustrated by results. In the end, I’m trying to trust the process and facing the bad strikes so my “betting mentality” can be stronger day nu day. Thank you and sorry again
