need to get 400 a month

Hi mate,

I’d start with the Bet £10 Get £5 offers on the calendar, maybe a few risk free bet offers on the blog. Shame you missed a Bet £50 Get £50 yesterday but there’s bound to be a lot of offers each week now sport is back. Few money back £10 offers on ITV racing every weekend too. Soon adds up.

Hi Bowman. I would suggest turnover is your only option. Until you can build up some level of bank you don’t have the leverage option so it’s got be risk free or minimal risk and lots of them. Use this time to focus on building up your skillset – placing and laying bets quickly and accurately. Create an ongoing record keeping system and again, ensure your work is quick and accurate. I would suggest using a calendar system (certain bets/offers on certain days) may help too. You need your records, not only to see what you’ve made and loss but also for future analysis to see where you can improve.

Look around the web and educate yourself on more long term strategies like extra places/2ups and similar whose profits will rely, in part, on judgement. Start trying to understand what works and why and if you’re so inclined, how you can better it yourself using better strategies. Help others (the best way to learn is to teach). Maybe read around too on subjects like stats, using excel, Caan’s book is great for understanding betting per-se and a traders mindset would help so ‘trading in the zone’ may prove useful etc.

Finally, be very careful. I am very lucky that I’m a nerd and find probability more interesting than betting which, in fact, I dislike as I do horse racing and I’ve no more than a superficial interest in football either (I prefer boxing, weightlifting and darts, don’t mind rugby, either code). Some people like the thrill of the bet and the last thing you need is an emotional relationship with betting. Every time you place a bet the result is irrelevant as long as the basis of the bet is sound because, at every juncture, the focus should be about long term profit. I would strongly advise never watching events you placed a matched bet on live for the same reason. This is similarly true for online casinos which are the betting equivalent of crack. Remember profit always. If you find yourself, after you’ve completed the freespins thinking ‘just one more go’ that it a strong warning sign and the wise will heed it. 

Good luck
