    Your reports are inaccurate ( balance on Day 3 00:00 should be 114.91, not 116.24 ) so why would one follow your fake journal ?

    as I said on my first post I started about 100€, not sure if it was 101 or 102 or something

    €100 -> + €2.02 + €26.04 = €128.06 -> - €13.15 = €114.91 .. From where did you get €129.39 ? :confused:

    Cool idea, keep us updated. what's your end goal anyways? In horse racing is there a portion that goes to the house making the odds in their favor? Thanks

    my goal is to trade 15% daily profit, thats my goal but ofcourse it doesnt happen everyday. Basically just trying to get profit every week.

    I dont bet on horses so there's no matter if house takes portion. I trade on short term price movements on different horses. back high, lay low, its just like trading forex or accomodites. I'm trader not punter, difference between these is that when bet is going against you, punter loses whole stake but trader can minimize their loss, thats the beauty of it. u can search 'horse trading' from search engine, thats where I learned it

    Ah good info. Stay sharp in your endeavors, if you are to make even 2-5% average per day and compound these gains you will be very rich indeed

    You woud do well to take advantage of "fun" gamblers who partake in things like the world cup once every 4 years backing the team they want to win, too stressful to make a living but a nice side hobby was my experiance

    - 65.67 €

    Total 93.14 €
    Profit - 6.86 €

    bad day today, lost 65.67 €, I had this 1 trade where I lost 81€ and it was stupid because it was going against me but I left it open in the hope that it would get matched in-play but it didnt and thats how I lost it, actually it wasnt trade as much as it was bet.
    but after that I managed to make small profits and managed to lose only 65€ for today.

    I dont know but from now on I think I'm going to withdraw any profit that goes over 100€ immediately so that I can enjoy profits, cause now I was on good profit and didnt get anything and it sucks, all that work for nottin, but I have my hopes high and I'll bounce back :)
