As you can see from these stats I didn't really do much today and did absolutely nothing the day before. This was a quick back and lay of Ronnie.

Just a few small places before half time, a back and a lay of the match odds market and small lay on under 3.5 goals in injury time. The 2.5 market I was backing and laying as the price went down in blocks of £14 as the price got down to 1.11 I laid for £15.

Today's paltry stats:

Daily profit: £3.93 of which £2.00 is added to the bank giving me a bank roll of £109.00
Total profit: £29.91

Day 4 02/03/14

I'm going to start today's report off by quoting one of the golden rules of betting:

Thou shalt not chase.

Ladies and gentlereaders today's entry is what happens when you throw the rule book out of the window. The first fixture of the day was a Serie A fixture between Cagliari at home to Udinese I settled down to trade the match in play and finished with the following results:

Football / Cagliari v Udinese  Over/Under 3.5 Goals02-Mar-14 11:3002-Mar-14 13:210.17
Football / Cagliari v Udinese  Match Odds02-Mar-14 11:3002-Mar-14 13:210.02

Football / Cagliari v Udinese  Half Time Score02-Mar-14 11:3002-Mar-14 12:170.17
This left me with a profit of £1.69, however before the match I had looked at the odds and really fancied there being 45 and over booking points. Booking points equate to 10 for a yellow and 15 for a red, I placed £7.00 on this and it didn't come in.

45 pts and Over1.507.00Back02-Mar-14 11:29-7.00
I got it wrong I figured Cagliari would be looking to get something from the game and Udinese fighting for form would equate to a tough tackling match. However Cagliari proved to have quite a sexy game and Udinese never really put up a fight. There ended up being 40 booking points but one of these was a late booking for taking the shirt off after scoring. I completely got this one wrong and was left with -£5.31.

Next up was the League Cup final between Manchester City and Sunderland. My main bets on this were a lay of 9 and under corners for £10.00 with the rest of the bank on over 0.5 goals. I was so fixated over having a loss I was chasing to recover and I has put the meticulous blocks of £14.00 from my mind. Sunderlands on loan striker Borini would score ten minutes in netting £3.11 and as expected endless attacks proved to create a crazy amount of first half goals giving me £9.52. At this point I was back in profit, however a late goal caught me out mid trade leaving me with the following stats for the Cup final (plus a quick £14.00 trade on a Belgium league match).

This left me with a loss of -£5.76 for the day, not good stuff. During an injury in the cup final I'd nipped over to the snooker and done a quick trade on a frame market giving me 13p leaving me with a -£5.63 loss.

I turned my attention to the next fixture and the La Liga top of the table clash between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. A quick goal led to a lead for Real, I however thought there would be more goals in it and placed my bank on over 1.5 twenty five minutes later Ateltico equalised giving me £6.89 and narrowly back in profit. However a cracking goal by Gabi Fernandez just before half time caught me out mid trade costing me £14.00 leaving me at -£12.74 for the day with a slightly sore throat after the volley of abuse I gave Fernandez.

I was panicking "ffs I'm supposed to be good at this!" and switched over to the Aston Villa Vs Norwich game. Norwich were a goal up and within a few mins of watching Benjamin Teke had equalised for Villa. My instincts told me there would be more goals so I put the bank on over 2.5 goals, two minutes later young Ben put Villa ahead. Villa would go on to gub Norwich, I made a few trades of £14 (the composure hadn't completely gone) and put the bank on over 0.5 goals on the Livorno Vs Napoli game which proved correct. This left me with a profit of £9.56

Feeling relieved with the profit I switched my attention to the One Day International between the West Indies and England & Wales. E&W were in a dominant position I placed  £14.00 on E&W @ 1.04 and another £16.55 @ 1.05. With 70 runs for only 2 wickets lost and a target of 163 the market looked all but over, however a batting collapse saw me trade out @ 1.69 and have to do a bit of trading for a loss of £9.48 leaving me a daily profit of 8p and feeling sorry for myself.

Sod it I thought I can't blog about a days trading leaving me with 8p profit, I'm all for safe and sensible trades but I would like to think I'm capable of breaking the 10p barrier for a days trading. There was one stand out fixture of the day left the Serie A fixture AC Milan Vs Juventus. I put the bank on over 0.5 goals, if there was no goal after 70 mins I'd trade out for a loss and try to salvage the challenge later. After a glorious forty four minutes Fernando Llorente put Juventus ahead leaving me with £9.37 profit and a lesson learnt - Thou Shalt Not Chase.
