A sobering thought - at the risk of aftertiming.

If I would have used £100 stakes as I set out to at the start of the season...

St Helens v Warrington - Back Warrington at 4.5. Back St Helens at 4. Potential profit: £1,250.

Salford v Celtic - Lay Salford at 1.05. Back Salford at 1.4. Potential profit: £740.

Hull KR v Leeds - Back Hull KR at 5. Back Leeds at 2.38. Potential profit: £590.

Warrington v Catalans - Lay Warrington at 1.26. Potential profit: £384.*
* At 1.06, I may have laid Warrington again (Especially if I was so far up!). Potential profit: £1,666.

Potential loss: £500. (Half of my bank)
Potential total profit: £4,630.

There is no way in hell I would ever have let those bets run all the way down as in the above best case scenario, and then also no way that I would have seen the potential green and put £100 red on one side, and there is equally no way in hell, I will ever have such a good run again!

However, it is just worthwhile pointing out how much my cautiousness has hurt me over the past nine days!

  2. Not a problem, mate.

    Good luck with the strategy - although days 300+ will probably be very hairy!!!
