Finally the new season hoves into view offering ample opportunites to profit from the bookies (or other punters if you bet with Betfair).
In previous seasons I started a 3% per day challenge, the theory being if you can make 3% profit every day you can turn £100 into £350,000+ over the period of a season.
The problem is that this is totally unrealistic as there are not enough "certainties" to bet on and sooner or later you fall behind target. The challenge always fails because you are forced into taking on bets you otherwise wouldn't in order to try and keep on course.
Last season I got as far as turning my original £100 into £1,600 (I think that was my highest level) before falling back to £1,000. At that stage I was a long way behind the target and decided to keep the £900 profit and end the challenge.
This season I am setting a far more realistic target.............If you win 1% per day you can turn £100 into £2,500 in one season. It's obviously not going to be easy but I am quietly confident.
If anyone wants to join me I suggest you open a Betfair account as the prices are significantly better and obviously if you're not a big gamble you can start with £10. Or, if you don't fancy my selections post your own.
I'll start this on Saturday.
