DEMORALISING

put £150 in betfair and littlewoods. i managed to make £60 the first day with littlewoods and not play the second on that site. i lost £30 with betfair the first day but won £50 the next. i was playing lower down so i was pleased that i was up but it was only 2 days. then sunday night i play the stars million, a smaller $55 crypto tourney and the brit bloggerment. i run bad in the stars and crypto tourney and this puts me on tilt and decide to put both my full rolls on the highest table possible. i more than double up on both before losing my betfair roll, but on littlewoods i manage to keep building and finish the day with £3600. very pleasing. next day i win £700 first session but then some poor calls in the next session sees me drop £2100. so i have £2200 left and that goes the next session. it was more bad luck than bad play this time but i tilt off my final £500 which was unneccessary. so i'm desperately short on funds now. the money i need for the house has left my account now so no going back there. i still have maybe £15k for household stuff so maybe i'll do without something. otherwise i'll have to grind it out at the low limits.

Ed I'm totally lost as to what money you don't and don't have? Have you not still got easily £100,000+ to your name? Have you locked all that up in a house or what?

You can't beat the game this way. Even if you never tilt again and never make another bad call, you can't win. The variance will get you.

Imagine you are betting against somebody, even money. You put in all your cash and he covers you. He says that the next roll of a dice will be a six; so any other number, you win.

It sounds like a great bet. But what if you have to keep betting until he wants to stop, and you have to bet all your money each time?

And what if he has unlimited funds?

On average, you'll be broke inside the first six rolls.

I wasn't going to comment again, but it makes me sick to my stomach seeing all these twats telling you to play high, stick at it, blah blah blah. Sort yourself out, mate. All the good players can grind when they have to, so get your nose to the 'stone.

Amatay, your comment is a disgrace, I hope you're embarrassed by it.

Good luck in rebuilding your roll Ed, I suspect there will be many more swings along the way. Hopefully the next update is a more positive one!

Ed,

soon you will have a house of your own- with no mortgage if you have even a grain of sense. well done, more than i shall accomplish in my life, no doubt.

what are you going to do with no bankroll though? use your decorating money and sit in an empty house? borrow?

The next couple of months will be really interesting for us- will he really make it? the time of being to sit with your whole bankroll, lose, and face no consequence other than a few "you suck" comments is almost passed.

Will adult responsibility kill Ed's game? the best is yet to come.
