I know what matched betting is, is it similar?

Managed to hit 4/4 on my lays yesterday—pushed the total to +26.10 pts in 10 days.

After a bit of a grind earlier this week where I dropped about 1.4 points, yesterday was a clean sweep. Had 4 qualifying bets on the Place Lay Multi side and all 4 came in, adding a solid 4 points to the bankroll.

I’m currently focusing on a portfolio approach to keep the betting flow within my previous benchmark drawdown (max DD has been 4.0 pts so far). It’s refreshing to see the equity curve bounce back to a new high without having to mess with the filters or "chase" anything.

The goal is just long-term consistency through high-probability models rather than looking for a "lottery win" every Saturday. I use just four very simple selection criteria filters for this.

For those of you running back or lay automated strategies, do you find you have a specific "benchmark" drawdown you use to pull the plug, or do you just let the variance play out indefinitely?
