A Rubbish Day...

A shit day. I was pissed of with myself for overstaking on the football trading thinking it was easy and sure enough got hit with a big loss. The first time I raised them just like the tennis, I get punished.

Another losing day for the tennis, it's shit at the moment with one tournament on as there are very little selections then and like I said the other day losing sequences lose more and take longer to recover with less matches on. I'll learn from it and keep plodding on. Still well in profit on the original £150 and the balance is now at £594.69.

Football Is Going Well...

Ferrer lost his match against Verdasco so a loss on the tennis for the day. There was one other win but I lost £50 on Ferrer so thanks for that mate.

The football trading is going very well. I even got caught out with goals in both the Real Madrid/Zaragoza match AND the Valencia/Deportivo match and still came out with a nice profit in both leading me to think that even if I lost a whole stake (£250ish) it wouldn't be too bad and losing a whole stake is impossible as I use the goals market that is goals ahead of the game (0-0 I trade 2.5gls, 1-0 and 1-1 I usually trade 3.5gls).

Balance was I think £811 ish, I've got a hangover and already put a couple of tennis bets on for today so can't remember exactly!

Another New Technique...

One winner and one loser on the tennis. A big bet today on the tennis too, a later bet in the sequence so it's around £50 on Ferrer for today!

Something new I was getting involved in was one/two tick trading with larger stakes on the overs/unders markets. It was the Bochum game that was on ESPN last night, most of it was done in the 3.5gls market when it was 2-0, that way if I did get caught with a goal I can still trade out for a loss rather than lose the whole stake.

I will try a little in the Spurs match but have to go after about 15 mins of it to play football myself, last game of the season up the lovely Downs!

Very Little Action Today...

There were only three selections today for the tennis system in what is a quiet week on the tennis front. These resulted in two wins and a loss and a very small profit for the day.

Unfortunately this was wiped out by a loss on the Liverpool/Athletico match. I was trading over 1.5gls once again and the early goal ruined me. I traded out for a loss but did leave it for a while to get some better odds.

Hopefully I'm around for some more football tomorrow as today I was out signing up for a gym once again! Time to get as fit as I was 2 years ago before a change of career and lots of injuries set me back. I'm still quite fit but this can give me another focus in getting super fit again.

This can then result in a sharper mind to make some amazing football trades and make bags of profit! ha ha.

Thanks Frank!

Well, that was a stroke of luck. I wanted to get involved with Bayern/Lyon but wasn't sure where. Under 2.5gls was a bit short, correct score was too high to start with a back of 0-0 for my liking and I almost just ended up watching without getting involved.

I chose to lay over 1.5gls after a bit of dithering about as the first 10 mins showed both teams being a bit cautious. I had every intent to trade out and was thinking "I'll trade in about a min or two" when Frank Ribery got sent off. This sent the odds for over 1.5gls drifting straight from 1.85 to 2.04 in almost an instant. I decided to let this ride a bit more and with the game not being end to end I let it run further.

After Lyon also had a red card in the second half I kept an eye on the game but didn't trade out as I was thinking even if there was another goal there would be a good chance to trade out should it get a bit hairy. I let it run and couple with a good day on the tennis (at last) and it was a nice profit for today taking the bank to it's new high.

Start Bank: £150 (Middle of March)
New Bank: £625.59
Profit/Loss: +£475.59

Another Profitable Day...

Some more profit today but it was close. Apart from the posted football trades earlier today I backed 0-0 in the Wisla Krakow match with the view to trade out. There was a goal and I thought the game would be very open then so I put a lay on 1-0. Cue the 1-0 win with their strikers being so bad it was unbelievable.

It was looking like a bit of losing day but the Barca/Inter match was looking very open so I layed 0-0, then 0-1 after the goal, and 1-1. I was thinking of laying 2-1 but decided it was safer to stay as it was. Turned out I could have had a bit more but profit is profit still.

On the tennis another losing day but only for a very small amount. I hope this can turn a profit in the coming days as I don't think I can bail myself out every day with the football.

The balance is now at £544.00 exactly, around the highest it has been (cant remember what it was exactly before that losing weekend).

Afternoon Football...

This match with Levski Sofia so many people seemed to on overs, I started watching when they were losing 1-0 and spent ten mins seeing how the game was going. I considered backing Levski in the hope they pull it back but the pitch was so wet I thought it could be a problem for them to score a few so I backed under 2.5gls instead.

I greened out after half time and the final score finished 1-1 so although I could have probably got a trade out of backing Levski I would have lost my stake had I left the back bet running so that's good.


With Polonia Bytom I was watching for a little while and it was quite poor football, quite a few crosses/corners etc but the keepers were getting everything so I entered with a back of 0-0 just before HT.

There were a couple of hairy moments not long after half time so I got out a little bit earlier than I usually do instead of risking losing the whole stake.

End Of Day Update...

A losing day on the tennis but this was covered with a decent profit on the football for the day. I ended up laying Liverpool/West Ham 0-0 Half Time and that came in as I went out to play football myself.

My other profitable trade was laying Legia Warsaw when 2-0 up. They lost 0-2 last time they played that team and 1.05 for 2-0 was way too short. Their opponents scored and I greened out a little later at 1.15.

No WTA this week tournament wise, some Fed Cup but just the main ATP Barcelona tournament to focus on so picks will probably be less often, meaning losing sequences could be longer running which isn't good but will happen at some point.

Greek Game And Turkish Unders...

Went for a trade of 0-0 in this as comments from someone watching it said it looked like a bore draw, no chances and a terrible game. Backed 0-0 and traded out a little while later but quicker than usual (no pics) so I didn't have to worry too much about keeping an eye on it.

I went for a back of under 2.5gls on the Trabzonspor match, their last 6 I think it was were all unders so thought it was safer than my first plan which was to back either 0-0 (too high really, take too long to come down) or 1-0 Trab (thought that could be good but 0-0 for a while or an away goal would kill me).

How on earth the match is still 0-0 at half time when I greened out is a complete mystery. At least 6 or 7 clear cut chances and that's just from the bit I saw.

Focusing...

Before I found the tennis system that I am now running I would spend my time watching and researching tennis to try and keep an edge. It was hard work trying to watch so much as there are many matches every day.

Now this system can run in the background I have gone back to spending a bit more time on the football. I done well before in the correct scores market, both trading and laying so I will post up a few screenshots when I have time of my trades/bets in this market.

Two early matches this afternoon I got involved in. Rostov were playing and were drawing 0-0 away to Anzhi Makhachkala. Watching the game there were only a few chances coming up and nothing clear cut to I entered with a back of 0-0 around 20th min to trade out.

A chance or two came but I greened out after around 10mins. This is usually how long I would leave a trade open for although in the past I have been burned by greed due to leaving a trade open to try and get as much profit as possible.

This is keeping me busy whilst the tennis ticks along in the background anyway so hopefully I can make a bit whilst doing it too.



I couldn't get a decent stream for the next match, Sliven v Lokomotiv Plovdiv, it kept buffering so didn't want to get involved in a trade. Looking at the stats both teams had scored a fair amount of second half goals and when it was 1-0, the odds for 1-1 were not that bigger, the market was thinking an equaliser was coming.

I put in a lay of 1-0 and waited for the ping on futbol24, which came 18mins later so now it's time to wait for the 4pm matches for any opportunities. The tennis looks like being a losing day today so a bit of profit of the football would be nice. Fingers crossed.
