Firstly I am only doing this small amounts of money.
I will.put 40p on a football match to finish with 2 or 3 goals. I will follow the match live and over or end using the potential profit.
I will turn 40p into 50p. I will then repeat it using the extra 10p to protect my original stake of 40p so it gets easier and easier to not lose the original 40p.
But I am struggling to scale it up. Has anyone tried this before?
What Next?

The higher your stake the greater any value erodes.
But this sounds very much like martingale which won't work in the long run. Eventually you will hit a loser.

Hi.
I am monitoring the match live so as long you get off to get a good start it is easy to protect the 40p original stake.
For example, I did a Scandinavian match during the week. It was 2-0 at half time but I could protect the original stake.

I am also bot betting more to chase losses. I am using the potential profit to break even or make a small profit. I then use the small profits to make it easier to protect the original 40p.jamesedwards wrote: ↑Sat May 24, 2025 6:44 pmThe higher your stake the greater any value erodes.

The only way it seems to go wrong is if the first match is 0-0 at half time but finishes with 4 goals. But that is in the first match where you start with the original stake

Massive red flag there Gareth, think you need to go back to the drawing board or reanalyse your strategy.Garethp123 wrote: ↑Sat May 24, 2025 7:00 pmI am also bot betting more to chase losses.
