I hope you didn't cash out. That would have been silly.

At least you're guaranteed profit for the year now!

Any more wins now and i'll be changing my username to "the prophet of profit" or something obnoxious like that.

fair play

Interesting scrolling down through the thread from start to finish in 10 mins.

Fair play for coming out with a profit at the end of it all.

How does it compare to other, 'regular' bets on your part?

**nigel-harps1954** · 20/10/2015, 5:46 PM

Have enjoyed following your exploits in this through the season. A decent profit from it too given there was only 3 wins from 24.

Thats the thing - 10% at those odds is break even. Doesn't seem like a lot, but difficult to achieve.

To be honest the only other regular bet I do is Tom Segal (Horse tipster in the racing post) to a level stake between 1 Nov and 1 May with varying degrees of success year to year - last year was down - 3 years prev was up.

I have done regular bets like this in the past but I can't prove profit, especially as it would be erratic in terms of stake and frequency - hence the reason why I started the thread - to document a regular, level stake bet over a set period of time. The only reason I turned a profit is I wanted to see to through until the end - otherwise I would have given up after 7 or 8 weeks and lost 70/80 quid as a result.
