Listening to the masses

Well, this entry is a hard one to write and after all the years (well, not that long, 3 years) I thought I had a good grounding in betting.  
I am lucky to have found the Secret Betting Club and post this blog there for comments and expected worship, and grand accolades.
I didn't get any of those but a few carefully worded comments from some big names (in the forum world) saying that I was basically insane because I was many times leveraged.
They were all wrong in my eyes, I am pro gambler (for 8 weeks, I know it all, dam you), then I lost £2k over the weekend.  Very luckily it was bookies money, but that is actually irrelevant I still lost £2k.   But on the flip side if I was not so leveraged I probably would not have won the £2k.
However, emotionally I simply cannot take that sort of swing.
I spent most of Monday night and Tuesday actually calculating for 'real' what my bank is (money you can live with losing).  Although, even now I'd be lying if I said i'd not be pulling my hair out if I did.

Then;

I split that bank by how many services I have.
Too many
as the cost of some services removes the viability to run with a <£5k bank/ service.

1. I removed any services that cost more than £35/month
2. I favored services that I can run with a small bank (those charging circa. £20/month with a decent ROC).
3. I emailed those that were left and offered a bank transfer payment (no paypal fees) for a 12 month subscription (only UK based ones) trying to get the lowest possible rate to further lower the necessary bank.

I was left with, and will continue with.

1. The Market Examiner
2. 50/50
3. Sportyy
4. WRT
5. WRS
6. CD Systems (Bargain & Probet)
7. ZH Banker
8. Summer of football
9. Probandit
10. On The Oche

Banks range from £1000-£2500

I am now leveraged (as i could not totally escape it) by 1.35

In addition to this.   I am using an ISA pot solely as a saving plan with Equine Investments.    Not for a monthly income but as a saving plan.   It gets 2.2% in the bank, so as long as Lawrence can beat that + fees I'll be happy.

It will not generate enough monthly income unless I am very fortunate but this project is now long term viable.  

It also frees up a mass of time and stress.  

I'll see how the returns develop but my plan is to take a part time afternoon/ evening job if required.   I'll make that decision in Feb/ March'13.

You see I do listen, but it takes a bit of time.

Comments/ words of wisdom/ part time highly paid jobs offers, all appreciated:-)
