    Kiwi Punter
    Hey guys,

    Recreational gambler from NZ here. Have had fun reading peoples threads and following a few plays. Creating and profile and thread to track my own plays and get some advice on potential plays. Hope to make a bit of coin, but really just have fun.

    Book : Bet365
    Opening Balance : $1000
    Unit Amount : $50

    I notice on here people are really sceptical about the amounts people bet, so I will post screenshots from time to time of my balance and bets for proof.

    Do not intend to reload, so once balance is gone (which I hope wont happen) thread will end.

    This play was from yesterday when I loaded my account. Had a few others with my local book, but this is only one with Bet365. Screenshot below

                  Their is a clown called Hawley who used to post regularly here. He is from your neck of the woods.

                  I am sure he will have an opinion about your bets.

                    Haha thanks for the heads up I think? Im not really fussed if he or other people think I dont bet enough or I make silly bets. I bet purely for the fun of it to make matches I watch more exciting. Some NBA threads I follow get flooded with people trolling when they go on cold streaks. Just seems sad to bother on an internet board where one can log-off at any time.

                    Yes I have a life outside of this board. Yes I am educated (post-grad at Auckland Uni). Yes I have a girlfriend. No I do not live with my mum. Yes I will probably lose alot of plays. Hopefully that will answer alot of his (and others) questions haha

                            You seem to be around for a while (since 2008), do you know how to get threads seen in other forums? ie. NBA or Tennis forums? I have noticed a few that I follow can be seen in NBA forum, but are based in Players-Talk. Does this get done automatically, or do I have to do this on my own somehow? Thanks in advance

                              Slow and steady. 5 plays and just over 1 unit up. Might have a few more cricket/WBC plays after lunch.

                                    They are with out a doubt the best bookmaker on the planet
                                    better odds
                                    fast payouts
                                    and as you are following some US sports higher limits
                                    I would keep Bet365 for the props and in play
                                    but would add Pinnacle and SBO
                                    so you can line shop between the 3

                                      Thanks for the advice, Im a firm believer of not putting too much emphasis on line shopping (oddswise, not spreadwise), and I probably sound like a newbie for saying this. IMO, if you lose, the odds are irrelevant, and the amounts I wager ($25-$100) will not give significantly better returns when I win. While I understand the logic of this long term, Im just a casual punter, so not really fussed if I lose a few % here or there.

                                      My main issue is the fee that Pinnacle charges you for withdrawing your own money. Dont really understand how they can justify that. Bet365 is free to withdraw, and is in my account the next day. Plus I like the interface and mobile app for Bet365.

                                      Ill keep your tips in mind when I win millions and become a professional gambler (I wish...) =]

                                                Nice, both teams have the ability to put runs on the board. Although still not fully sold on DR after watching their game vs. Italy.

                                                Feeling a 3-1 or 4-2 DR win

                                                  Finn performed really well as night watchmen in the previous test... can he reproduce another half-decent effort? I hope so

                                                  Just the batting performance I hoped for. Bookies didnt give him enough credit.

                                                    Couple of solid WBC and cricket plays, and my record looks a bit healthier after that quick NHL loss.

                                                      NZ openers did well last test. Think this pitch will provide relatively easy runs

                                                          Some good value on the Knicks here even without Melo, Amare and Chandler. Although I expect 'Blazers to go on a mini-run sometime soon. Only playing because I have hit one of the two NHL plays.
