It got better but turned to crap

Well following my super three day sucess of last week in europe i followed it up with a frankly cracking pick on Saturday. Preston were 10/11 at home to Cov so i had 9quid on. They went down one nil but i had faith and that faith was repaid 2-1 it finished and 17.18 was winging its way to me. I had a wee check at the eveneing euro fixtures but in a rare moment of sense i decided to stick, wait for Sunday.

And i did, Sunday i took AC to beat siena away from home, price was 20/21, almost evens for AC away the Siena! they won 5-1 and i cheered, not too loud though cos i found out the result in the toilet on my mobile internet. 13quid on returned just shy of 26.

But it all fell away on Tuesday just, 19 pounds pished away on Tranmere who took a good weekend result into their midweek match v bottom club Cheltenham and got beat 1nil. the goal was in the 3rd minute meaning they had more or less the whole game to rectigy it for me, they didnt. So i decided to keep my money in my pocket for the rest of the week, back in action tomorrow.

Starting Afresh

A lot of water has went under the bridge since i last updated my gambling experiment, by boxing day i was up past 130quid and blew it on Oldham and then again i was up past 140quid by late february and blew it big time.

So you find me today having strted again basically on Tuesday, its sstill the same basic cash from before, never put more in than the starting four quid but i had six twenty of it left after all the months of ups and downs.

So Tuesday had me going for Villarreal, £3 on, nervous as they were away from home to Panathinaikos, would you believe i was basing my bet on somethin Paul Walsh said on Gillette Soccer Special when teh first leg was played, he said even though it was away he would still take the yellow submarines, so i did and they duly obliged with a 2-1 win, shaky though, thought i was down to £1.50 when Panathinaikos drew level, they could have put everyone behind the ball for extra time and penalites but they didnt and i was fine. Funny how i am basing all this insight into the game on my watching the scores come in on the Sky vidiprinter, i havent even seen the highlights. 3 on 7.80 out.

Wednesday night and now i am back in business, i think anyway, i have 12quid so the process goes to half it and gamble it. so £6 goes on Barca to beat Lyon, i cant admit to the saem following of this result as the previous one, i listened to the Man U Inter game on the radio and fell asleep, I heard that Barca were up 2 nil so slipped into a slumber quite happy, i must still have been taking in what was being said as i woke with a thinking it was two all, so i flicked up the scores and it was 4-2 Barca, surely money in the bank. It was as it finished 5-2. 6 on 8.40 out.

Tonight i have been to collect my meagre winnings and added my totals, 14.40 is the current total and so i have £7 on Werder Bremen at home to St Etienne, which i have recently found out means St Stephen. Anyway, at half time it was 1nil to Werder so fingers crossed. Actually, just checked, final score 1 nil. back in action! 4/7 will pay 11quid so going into Saturday the running total will stand at £18.40.

Im back, im back again!

two bets up in a row, the boy is back. sadly they are worth next to nothing but its nice to be a winner. had a fiver on Brechin on Saturday, their odds were slashed without me knowing though so instead of almost getting a tenner abck i got £8.50, ho hum cos i am back in the saddle. last night i had arsenals babes against Wigan. three one win sees me pick up £9.75 for my £6.75 on. Again small gains but a winner beats a loser any day.

I am conflicted about whether to bet tonight, i fancy East Stirling to beat Annan but seriously, East Stirling! i cant be thinking right.

3 on the bounce

my gambles losing streak has stretched to three. Back down to a tenner which sucks. Inter Milan let in three crazy goals in Cyprus (Cyprus!) to draw three each and leave my 17quid with mr william hill and then Dynamo Kiev blew a lead to get beat 2-1 by Porto at home. Basically that 60quid away in three gambling days. decided to have a wee rest on Thursday, collect my thoughts. I had my eye on Ajax at 1/3 if i had got back to winning ways, but i didnt so i left them, they won one nil. lesson learnt though i just got a bit greedy and a lot excited.

So its a fiver on this afternoon, good luck me.
