well here we go again with another day of football betting and with a clean sweep yesterday, it would be nice to keep that going. Now three of the four games are decent prices but the Chelsea price of 1.30 on betfair will only make £2 profit for the £7 risk, but i'll stick to the rules and the bet will go on. I have to say i'll be shocked if Chelsea dont win. As for the others Liverpool to win at a nice 1.80 and then I'll move on the spanish games and stick these down as an update.
Current Bala…

Well about twenty minutes till I head to the pub before Sunderland take on West Ham, and I just hope when I come back I’m in an okay state to write a couple of previews for the two Spanish games tomorrow. As for today I was only going to bother with the two live games and while this is still the case, I really fancy goals in the Villarreal v Athletico Madrid game so I’ll be backing that along side the home win. I've also gone for Manchester United to beat Villa and while the odds are low a win i…

Well there has been no bets for me in a couple of days, so back on a one tonight but first of all the account has risen very nicely over the last couple of days thanks to the Ebbsfleet win and also England winning the third test with both being over the 2.50 mark it has now took the current total to £198.26 and then when you factor in the nice little £10 extra that betfair gave me for some unknown reason (as gooner says always nice to get bonus) it makes the current total £208.26 which now has t…

After yesterday and the little system now only 58% win rate and three defeats on the trot, you start to wonder if I should have gone "Live" with it so soon and maybe tested it some more, but not to worry I'm going to keep going. The other problem the system has is every game (well about 90% if not more) are game that are on the TV, but I guess that was the whole point and one thing I cannot say is that even if three games came in as defeats I was certainly interested in all three games until the…

Well thanks to the cricket I’ve just got up and missed most of the morning but it was worth it as England put themselves in control of the third test and they should now with three days left at least hopefully get at least a 300 lead and then also give themselves enough time to skittle New Zealand and win the match. However still three whole days left so I guess anything can happen yet.
Well now we move on to "Supper Sunday" or whatever the hell sky call it and two of the four football bets I h…

Well since I'm still up after 1am watching England do their level best to throw away the 3rd test, I thought I'd start of a new betting day. As I type England have recovered slightly to be on 117-4 after at one point being 4-3. So at that point I felt as if the bet was finished in this game before it even started but hopefully they will finish the first day in a decent position.
So on to the football and the betting day ahead, now while I said that I would only bet on games on the TV, I’m going…

Good Friday and back in the old days this would have meant football and then some more football, but not today with only Charlton v WBA on the TV so that's my only bet today (well if you don’t include the England Test Match which starts later tonight).
I thought that the Championship game was on in the evening but it kicks off at 4.45 so that has just caused chaos in the house as my six year old wanted me to watch High School Musical 2 with her, which is on the BBC. Anyway while she watches tha…

After losing some of my hard earned cash on Poker last night, and most of that was on tilt. I've once more looked at my betting and decided to sort of start again.
My idea of betting is mainly down to wanting to watch sport (football and Cricket) while at the same time making a little bit cash on the way. So with this in mind my bets will once more go back to what it used to be and that is backing teams that are on the TV. So that starts tonight but i'll get to that shortly.
As this blog is ab…

I hate days like this when I cannot make my mind up what to back. The previews said Chelsea and Manchester United to win and while I had no problem going with Chelsea @ 2.10, there was no point with United being 1.17. So after sitting and wondering about it and looking down the list of bets it was the Asian HC of -2 that jumped out.
I'd never put this bet on before but Paddy Power explained the bet so it meant if the game was won by United by 2 goals then I would get my money back, anything mor…

Have started to keep a record of the bet placed since 2006 and have been making nice little profits over each of those 12 months periods. However since we are here it would be rude not to keep a Blog in order to see how I’m doing.
Now I’ve never done this before in this detail so lets hope this is okay. Will try and keep it as up to date as I can and going to start with a review of this year so far which has not been all that good, but at the same time not all that bad either. So going to go ba…

Jan 08: +$48.00
Feb08: +$27.00
Mar08: -$115.00
TOTAL: -$40.00 :-(
A bad loss in March, mainly due to having too much time during Easter and punting on stupid horse racing that I know nothing about... I think I lost over $100 in one day alone. Actually broke even on sports betting (football & AFL).

I've heard about them and I've seen them on Match of the day, Michael Owen scored one for Newcastle last year (and they could do with the same again a.s.a.p.!), but I've never seen one scored live... well maybe down at the Civil Service on a Sunday morning?
