Football.

20 markets. 1 red of £44.73. Last second Japanese goal, what can you do?. Still a reasonable showing for such a quiet weekend.

Tennis.

12 markets. 1 red of £1.67. I took the red on the Fed v Wawrinka set betting when Fed went ropey in the third set. I also scratched a Djoko v Potro set betting when it got too iffy for my liking. I also have a red in progress on Monfils v Ferrer but as it hasn't finished yet I'm not adding it here.

Bank holiday Monday. Woohoo. No work for me today.

Keep it green everybody.

Football : 26.21

P&L since last post : 37.08

Football.

15 markets. No reds for a change. I think the lack of matches helped in that.

Tennis.

23 markets. 3 reds totalling £31.85. I got stuffed on Stosur's loss mainly. Unfortunately I was working while for the majority of the matches were on and had to use the Android app which isn't the best.

At least I see a nice green this week after lot's of small reds and greens. I hope I can continue.

Keep it green everybody.

P&L since last post : 1.56

Football.

34 markets. 3 reds totalling £45.91. With that being the end of the main leagues season for the next dozen weeks or so maybe I'll settle down a bit and stop making foolish mistakes. HaHa!, Yeah right!.

Tennis.

Just the 6 matches this weekend. No reds. Played it very safe. Hopefully that will continue to be the case.

So as we go into the football light/tennis heavy season what will be the best way to tackle it?. One very important goal is to not try to force too much out of what football there is as this will just lead to lots of red.
At least I have scraped a small green this weekend.

Keep it green everybody.

P&L for 16/05/11-20/05/11

Football : 4.95

P&L since last post : -5.63

Football.

36 markets. 2 reds totalling £23.84. Another week of steady gains taken out by the losses. It can get very demoralising sometimes. There were avoidable losses in there though so I still am having issues with greed and patience.

Tennis.

9 matches. 1 red of £10.58. A little disgusted with the tennis. After the French Open I may give it a rest for a while. It can be a source of much green but also much red.

Another crappy week struggling along with a small bank. My visit to the dentist was not a high point either. A wisdom tooth removal, 4 fillings, and a crown is in the offing for me over the next few months. Not cheap by any means.

Keep it green everybody.

Football.

29 markets. 2 reds totalling £29.72. They can't be green all the time I suppose.

Tennis.

11 matches. 2 reds totalling £17.56. I really need to try an limit my tennis activity. There were times I was entering a market even though I thought it may be a bad idea but greed overcame me.

A ho hum week. I'm not going to dwell on it too much. I'm still letting outside influences get to me. I'll have to stop doing that.


Keep it green everybody.

Football.

38 markets. 2 reds totalling £73.49. I saw my bank reach the 3 figure mark before the 1st min Man U goal brought my first red of the weekend. The last second Genoa goal took the rest of my green away. I suppose it's still green in the end but having to battle down the frustration.

Tennis.

Just the 3 matches this weekend. No reds. Nothing special.

I must enter the very jaws of hell today. That's right - THE DENTIST!!. I haven't been to a dentist in 3 years after a I finally had enough of the useless ignorant reception staff at my NHS dentist. Fortunately there is another NHS dentist not too far away and I've been meaning to go and join since they opened. Now I have no choice. A filling fell out of one of my wisdom teeth when it disintegrated a couple of weeks ago and now the gum is growing over the top of what's left of the tooth. Not a good thing. I was told years ago that it needed to come out but the thought of the operation at the dental hospital was more than I could bear at the time. I have awful teeth. If I could afford to have them all ripped out and replaced with implants I'd do it. One of my lottery/make-a-fortune-on-trading dreams.

Keep it green everybody.

Football.

34 markets. 3 reds totalling £63.60. A reasonable week brought down at the last hurdle to a poor one.

Tennis.

9 markets. 2 reds totalling £5.86. Small reds on getting out of matches that seemed a bit iffy.

I could have used a better week than this one but onward we plod.

Keep it green everybody.

Blown it again.

Football.

37 markets. 4 reds totalling £302.46. Saturday was all green but Sunday sucked ass. Started with a tennis red and every time I came back to even another red would come. After the third I lost the plot and got reckless and it bit me in the ass.

Tennis.

5 matches. 1 red of £46.82. I wasn't going to touch the tennis this weekend but I got sucked in on Sunday.

So I'm back to tiny bank again. Although it's nearly double the £5 I had the last time this happened. Back to the steady grind. Try to avoid being such a fanny next time?. Who knows?.

Keep it green everybody.
