20.74%. Ish. Nearly 3k since the start of the season. Thing is - I have a lot of mates in the industry. If you want to me a full time pro gambler (which I am not), you really need to be staking well over 1mn a year to make any money

Yep - fairly serious about it - well up for the year. Keep track of everything via a spreadsheet. Would not that bet that much if I was losing!

There are mine for what its worth: Amount Price Where Type Details £76.90 2.04 Betfair 2.5 goals (over) A.Villa vs. Man Utd > 2.5 goals £75.00 1.87 Betfair Asian (outright) Charlton Level Ball Asian vs. West Brom £125.00 1.93 Betfair Win (outright) Brechin to bt Berwick £40.00 13/8 Betfair Scorer (Anytime) Eduardo score anytime vs. Burnley £25.00 10.79 Betdaq Acc (4 or more) Stevenage -0.75 Asian; Walsall -0.25 Asian; Carlisle -1 Asian; Norwich vs Bury >2.5 goals £80.00 Betdaq Asian Acc (4 or more) 4 trebles: Stevenage -0.75 Asian; Walsall -0.25 Asian; Carlisle -1 Asian; Norwich vs Bury >2.5 goals £78.74 1.79 Betdaq Asian (outright) Stevenage -0.75 Asian vs. Stafford Rgrs £73.34 2.01 Betdaq Asian (outright) Carlisle -1 Asian vs. Port Vale

I agree with you - reckon Derby are due a performance. I got this from the tipping line I subscribe to but for once I do not agree with him BOLTON- DERBY COUNTY County are showing signs of improvement under Paul Jewell, but seem to have decided that this season is a lost cause and they are concentrating on getting their house in order for next season's Championship campaign. Jewell is expected to be extremly busy in the transfer window, however, his first piece of business was to sell striker Steve Howard to Leicester City. Already toothless up front, with just 10 goals all season, they currently have few attacking options and none, of Premiership quality. Bolton are looking for their 4th straight home win and have a real chance to secure their survival in the top flight in the coming weeks. They do not face a top 7 side until March, before a very demanding end to the season. Anything less than 3 points this evening will be points lost, they have some real quality up front and Anelka, will be looking to further his reputation, he should score and add a few thousand to his transfer fee. 5 points Bolton -1 goal 1.80 asian line.

Al - I think you mean the Courtfield. Will also be in there http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/79/794/Courtfield/Earls_Court

Some guidance from the betting line I subsribe to for tonight. Have done Liverpool, Lazio and Wolves on the Asians. WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 28TH I have four bets today, but can only write a few line about each, having some computer work done, so online time is limited. But I have done my homework and am confident with the selections. Will try to send tomorrow's early, maybe overnight, Thursday looks a very interesting day. ENGLAND PREMIERSHIP BLACKBURN ROVERS - ASTON VILLA Rovers are an impressive outfit and Mark Hughes has done a fantastic job. Lesser sides would have wilted after losing McCarthy so early on Sunday and failing behind twice, especially with Santa Cruz already out, but they showed fantastic spirit and could easily have taken all three points in the end. Both strikers look set to be available tonight , along with David Dunn. Villa seem to struggle against the better teams and I definitely put Blackburn in that category and only the best of the best , have troubled the hosts this season. 6 points Blackburn -1/4 ball 1.89 asian line. ENGLAND CHAMPIONSHIP WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS - COLCHESTER UNITED Wolves are playing well at present, but are still finding goals hard to come by. However, they now have a run of 3 home games in 4, which could leave them pressing the top two, with a good run. They should be confident of scoring this evening, the visitors have collected just 3 points from a possible 18 and are without a clean sheet in 14 starts, infact, they have just one in 26 matches ! It is widely reported that the hosts have three key injuries, it is my understanding that at least two and quite possibly all three will be available. 1-0 home win. 6 points Wolves -1/2 ball 1.70 general. FRANCE LIGUE 1 RACING CLUB LENS- CAEN Caen registered an eyecatching 5-0 win over Bordeaux at the weekend and there is clearly nothing wrong with their home form. However, away , it is a very different story, not only are they chasing a first win, but a first goal ! Lens have picked up after a dire start and have collected 7 points from 9, they have lost just once in 7 home starts and are boosted by the return of three players from suspension. They have a real chance to put some daylight between themselves and the relegation zone with a win this evening. 6 points Lens -1/2 ball 1.84 asian line. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LAZIO- OLYMPIAKOS Lazio can go a very long way towards securing a place in the knockout stage, with a win this evening. They look set to be boosted by the availability of top striker Rocchi and he will fancy his chances against an opponent missing two key defenders. 6 points Lazio -1/2 ball 1.93 asian line. Good luck.

If it loses with a one goal difference, you are refunded your stake. Handicap (+1.25) You win if your team wins or draws the match.

Asian handicaps are the way forward but did not realise you could accumulators on them as well - cheers for the info ScouseAndy

Surely Stagecoach has to be up there as well? Still one of the best stunts ever.

Bob - will send that CD off tomorrow mate - been lazy to be honest

robbief - based on the spreadsheet I created out of Bobs 8 team accumulator, I have worked out the following (you only have 7 teams so I have assumed another team to win at 4/9), off a total of £20 stake, you would win £400 if all won. If for instance Barca failed, £52 etc.

kopsawyer - download the spreadsheet from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A6T06FX5 Quite easy to use.

Bang on - I make it £12.26 but lets not fight about the 1p difference

Do an Asian bet if you want to take less risk - Inverness +0.5 - basically means you win if Inverness win or draw. I have just lumped on with vcbet - got 9/10

Tip for you ladies from a sports trader friend of mine: Jocheski 7pm wolverhampton - 8/1 at Ladbrokes. Really a 3 or 4/1 chance. Get on it

Here you go ladies - a way to track your profit and loss in your betting. Download it from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LXY2ROYP (again you will need to enter the 3 letter code to download it and you may have to wait 30 seconds or so). Things it does: * you just enter stake and odds (either fraction or decimal) into green columns - then if you select Win or Loss, it will work it out * will work out p&l over last 7 days * will work out summary of your bets (how many won etc) * will work out outstanding bets * gives a summary of the bookies used I have put some sample data in there - just delete it if you wish I have also put some help on Asian handicaps as well as the accumulator bet talked about on this thread. Hope this helps. Baz

F*** - forgot to do it. Will get my arse into gear now and post the spreadsheet up there now.

Been sitting here waiting for the team to come out. Managed to get 7/4 at William Hills on Torres anytime scorer

I have a spreadsheet already made for profit and loss and keeping track of bets. It works out returns for both fractions and decimal, amount of bets won, bookies used, rate of return etc. I am not in work today and dont have the latest version with me at home - I will post it up tomorrow. Baz

For Tues and Weds, gone for 50 quid stake (possible 2438 if all win) Lyon 1.44 Tranmre 1.66 Arsenal 1.61 St Johnstone 2.00 Watford 1.57 MK Dons 1.80 Barn/Wyco (draw) 3.25 Liverpool 1.33

Note to myself: stay well clear of the Championship in future - it is a bloody lottery to pick out winners

Nothing from me either. I did it online and took me about 20 mins to do so not too bad.

Here you go ladies - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A6T06FX5 You will need to enter the 3 letter code like before to download it. I have also put some additional functionality at the bottom so that you can more easily track where the hell you are when you are entering these bets online as I am doing. The selections are my tips for the tonight and the weekend.

Just entering my bet in for the weekend. Realised that Bet20 is slightly wrong - Bob said the order of the bet is ADCDFGH when it should be ABCDFGH I will amend the spreadsheet and post it up soon

What bet are you referring to?
