Starting Over

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

It’s a year on and I hve been distracted and not really focused.

I am starting over with the intestion of making massive profits.

The target: Brazil World Cup 2014

With the 2010 world cup this year in South Africa and the Africa Cup of Nations now on in Angola, there’s no better time to start and try making some of that money.

A couple of games tomorrow and I am hoping the favourates will come through.

Here are tomorrow bets on the AFCON games.

Malawi v Algeria

Back Algeria@1.65
Cote d’Ivoire v Burkina Faso

Back Ivory Coast @1.33

Ghana v Togo

The ghana game might not go on due to Togo pulling out after their bus was attacked in Cabinda.  If the game does go on I will be looking at backing Ghana@ about 1.6 or so.

Brazil 2014 here we come!!!

Practise What You Preach

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Preaching betting discipline is easy, but actually following through and applying it yourself is not so easy.

I have a profitable racing strategy, but somehow I have managed to do serious damage to my bank by not being disciplined.

But I must confess, as good as I believe my strategy is, it’s slow earner, meaning greed can easily get the better of you, by either over staking, or looking elsewhere for the quiet days where there are no bets.

Hopefully I have learnt my lesson and will be far more disciplined from now on.

A Gem in the Making … NOT!!!!

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

I had commended 4wdl as a gem in the making, but now I have to retract that statement.

Nothing is more important then trust especially on the web, where you do not know who you are dealing with, and 4wdl has lost my trust.

For their selections of 30 January 2008, they are showing a loss of only 0.52 units, and a strike rate of 50%. This is very far from the truth as they have changed their selections. Firstly they have left out two games which they got wrong (Ajax vs. PSV & Hereford vs. Brentford) . They predicted home wins and both results went against them with away team wins. To make matters worse they went and added to predictions which they did not have before; the Belgian Cup win of Kortrijk over Gent @3.3 & the Italian Cup win of Catania over Udinese @2.17. This doctoring of selections after the fact makes you wonder about all their previous results.

I am sad to say, but 4wdl cannot be trusted.
