“£500 Challenge Bet” (£1024)
Oh well, that's tennis match betting consigned to the “not in this fund” pile – along with, um, golf!
Was going to skip today but the RFO paper drew my attention to a bet even worth tying our money up for the best part of two years. There's no need for an explanation I'm sure – especially to any students of my “20 reasons why the prices might be wrong” treatise (you'll find it on here somewhere).
£25 Croatia to win Group 6 qualifying group for World Cup at 13/8 or better
“Barking Bets” (Banked £500/Current bank £1200 – one bet inrunning – unaccounted)
(That was a dark day. The two tennis losers – which really shouldn't have been bets in this fund – were joined by a bet in the Wolves maiden. The fave only just prevailed there. Otherwise, added to Youmzain Sunday, that would have been four losers in a row. There's a thread on betfair of someone doing something similar to me and his staking plan is 25% of fund. I have wondered whether mine was too cautious – as usual – but if any good came out of it yesterday it was the reassurance that caution has its place even at this end of the market)
It's going to be a real schlepp to get back to where we were. And I won't chase today.
