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.
