The first week of April started with a bank of 12.332,50 and finished with a bank of 13.937,50. A nice profit of 1.605.
A total of 6 of 13 Single predictions were correct and led to a profit of 1.905. Although there was one doubled prediction. The actually profit should have been 2.205.
A total of 0 of 2 Multi predictions were correct. Yet the coefficients were very nice at 20.7 and 37.95. Eventually a successful Multi prediction will come and there will be a profit in this section as well.
I will keep the Correct score prediction rare. However when there is a good chance I will take it.
So far I have made a total of 18 Single predictions. Looking at the nine unsuccessful it stands out that six predictions are involving two 'weaker' clubs:
- Alaves - Rayo Vallecano
- Celta - Las Palmas
- Genoa - Udinese
- Monza - Como
- West Ham - Bournemouth
- Girona - Alaves
Opposite, from the nine successful only two are 'weaker' clubs:
- Valencia - Mallorca
- Union Berlin - Wolfsburg
On the other hand the last one, Union Berlin - Wolfsburg, was the most profitable so far. Nevertheless I will have in mind to concentrate more on the stronger clubs and focus my predictions on them. In this aspect Monday and Friday would be fun, because there are only a handful of games this days and I would have the opportunity to make predictions no matter who are the two clubs playing.
What happened this Saturday is a perfect example why having a bank is so important. I made 5 Single predictions, one of them with doubled stake, as well as one Multi prediction. A total of 1950 invested. I kept the under 20% of total bank rule. Since just one of five was correct, there was a big loss of 1350. In case I didn't had a proper bank management strategy a day like this would have crippled my finance. Yet I lost just 10% of my bank on a really bad day. And such days will come from time to time.
On the other hand without a proper bank management, investing 100% of my finance would have led to over 80% loss. Even by just 50% investment my finance would have lost over 40% of the total sum. A perfect example why it is so important to be patient and think long term.
