I wasn't the one who bet 4 times what you had lost in 11 months JUST to get back even. That's just crazy, exactly why Dr. said what he said.
Anyway, I'm glad you won. I don't like to see people lose. But you will never make any real money if you only bet on $1.15-$1.40 favourites.
Have you wondered why you were down after 11 months of the year? Just take a look at you "Winning Streak" threads.
Just trying to help, as I have done exactly what you are doing now in the past (eg $1.10 bets on Brisbane +39.5pts at the Gabba vs West Coast)
i wont mention this topic again. As much as I've not been a fan of "Dr. Pangloss" and his harsh comments in the past, I agree with him here.

ok Northerly, I didn't mean to stir and sorry if I did. Your bet deserved to win but was unlucky not to.
I haven't been betting since January, actually since May. So 7 months I lost $500 in.
I won't bet $2000 on any other things, I just backed Bayern to make sure I was ahead of the bookmaker. Now I am ahead since I've been backing short prices more regularly.
I appreciate your help.. and just out of curiosity, was Brisbane +39.5 at $1.10??? I would've thought $1.85.
I don't just back short odds, like last night I backed AZ Alkmaar at $2.10 and Benfica at $1.55.
I don't believe a price has to be short to win.. they're just generally more likely to. And my predictions above are evidence of this.
Best of luck to you, my friend.
