    Hi devon - Many, many thanks for all your help yesterday (Sat). I have another session going ATM but not started off great - lost in my sole £1 DYM when my AA's were cracked by Q9o (2prs)

    Have dropped down to 60p DYM's atm with the first of these in Mid stages, 5 left, one player about to go bust tho with a mere 190 chips. Am equal footing with the next lowest so I need to be careful, and play well to cash.

    Talk soon

    Posted by thefa1lacy
    I've had 1  darts bet which won me £20...
    had i lost that bet i would have lost £60 and gone from £100 back to £40. (so it was a calculated gamble, which paid off)

    freeroll money is just that 'Freeroll'  everyone plays them & when you cash it gets added to your bankroll.
    i played in them on my last challenge & added any winnings to my bankroll then, so i don't really see it as a problem this time around.

    maybe i should deduct my c4p winnings as well...
    although they did make up almost 1/3 of my winnings last time around.

    anyway, it's my challenge & i can do what i want. if i can find a way to add to it like the odd bet that i fancy or from any freeroll winnings then i don't really see that i'm doing much harm. i think 90- 95% of my winnings or there abouts will come from playing dym's so that's why it's called 'Dev's 2nd dym challenge'

    maybe if i do a 3rd challenge i might call it 'Dev's 3rd dym + sky bets & freeroll winnings challenge'

    just to keep you happy  :)

    I've done a little post on Stuarts thread.
    It might seem that I'm getting at you, I'm really not.
    Just a different way of looking at things.
    Nice to get over £200 mate

    Keep going

    Hi Dev

    Been following your thread for a while. Congrats on the £200 barrier. Ignore those asking why you include freerolls bets etc, all goes/comes from the same pot. As im sure you are aware cash for points are crucial to building the roll.

    Onwards to the £300!!

    Thanks Paul,
    no worries mate, we all see things differently but the only thing that matters is the end result, ie; winning.
    it doesn't matter how you do it, & what works for one might not work for another.
    i've learnt so much from you jc & others & hopefully will continue to do so, & a lot of that learning has come from these discussions as well as from playing, so i thank you & everyone else for all your input & thoughts, really i do.
    best wishes mate.

    whoooops.  got off to a bad start, can usually grind it back but things didn't go my way tonight.
    first really bad session so no complaints, i've run pretty well so far, and i know the dangers so i'll get over it by tomorrow.
    it could have been worse has i been stubborn & continued with the £3 games, so at least i'm happy with my discipline shown there.
    the £2's were a struggle too, but managed to keep the loss to about the minimum i could have hoped for, as i managed to at least win a few towards the end of the night.
    i'll check in a mo, probably puts me back about a week or so.(10 days in fact 8/8/14 £191.xx)... no worries though as i know i'll get it back.
    it's not going to be my last big loss on this journey so i'll live with it.
    maybe a 'stop loss' plan could be introduced so this doesn't happen again, i'll have to give that some more thought. anyway...
    I'm still up by £151.74 from my original £40, so it's not so bad when you look at the big picture, is it.
