Evening all
Sorry it has been ages, am now settled in the new place and getting back into the game slowly... have disabled my betfair account as wasn't finding being unemployed in a new country and betting in uk pounds a solid idea!
Had a few flutters on things in between but nothing solid or consistent, just put a small flutter on kauto before xmas so fingers crossed for the rescheduled meet.
Enjoyed a bit of the football so far this season but I am not sure the premier league is getting better or if it is just everyone has just been a bit poor, total lack of consistency apart from united and they have been as boring as paint drying. So as fun as it has been to watch I am glad I haven't been involved as I know I would have lost a lot.
Well sorry for being out for so long, hope you have all been profiting well.

Rubbish World Cup
Not just on my betting front but games have lacked passion,skill, talent or commitment so I really welcome the second round to see if people care or not. Its been such a damp first round with the Swiss being the highlights but honestly who had money on the Swiss?? so no ones enjoying that but the bookies then!
Managed to trade a little yesterday got about £13 so gradually building the balance back up after terrible ability in the football. A friend of mine came round last nite for a few beers and so we had a few gambles on the night races. Did ok as per above but he is definitely on form, managed to back a few good horses out of nothing more than liking the name. Took about £100 for the day, great work just goes to show when your good you don't need form! he was telling me about the online slots and showed me he has been taking a decent return but I have tried them before and I'm just not lucky, I also find they are a very quick way to loose lots of money as they can be so addictive looking for that next big winning spin.
Note to self do not get involved!!!
Well this may be a last post for a while as I am moving country and travelling for a bit, hope that Vegas is all its cracked up to be.
Will try and update on my fortunes around the world but till then....
Good lucky everybody for the next couple of months I hope you all make vast profits ....Myself included!

Footballs just not my game
Of all sports I trade on football is the one I have followed the longest and 'believe' I know the most on, therefore it is only natural that it is the one I seem to perform worst in, I reckon it could be my arrogance in thinking I know loads about it.
Yesterday confirmed my lack of ability in this loosing £5, I would have been up £12 but I got scared in the dreadful Netherlands Denmark game and so laid the over 1.5 market at terrible odds before the lucky dutch sneaked a second and very undeserved goal in.
So it was with that in mind I decided to go against my earlier predictions of an Italy win and so decided not to bet.
As it played out i am very thankful I did, ok I didn't win anything but after getting spank in the England game on sat maybe .....just maybe I am learning something here........
I traded a bit during the day on tennis and on the horses but only a few races and made a few pounds back so basically the days trading put me £1.60 up!!!! still as I have said before a day in profit however small is still a day in profit
Good luck all going down to ascot and for everyone getting involved.

My own worst enemy
After posting a nice bit about my profit for the week I stupidly didn't follow my own advice of steering clear of football and went in on the England match after the USA equalised. Greed got the better of me again and I took a £30 punt at evens at half time as I thought we would nick another in the next 45 and I would lay it off of 1.2 if it went back down, an easy 20 I thought but alas it wasn't to be.
The conspiracy side of my brain says it was massive PR exercise on how not to piss of the US in the light of the BP disaster?? Obama must have had a word with Capello during the game, well I'm not amused!!
Oh as I type some antipodean moron neighbour is learning how to play the vuvuzela over and over again which is probably why I am a little vexed! I'm not actually that annoyed at the result but I am contemplating investing in sniper rifle!!
Anyhow I am not going to chase this one or beat myself up about it too much, in fairness I thought it was the right bet to make so it wasn't too impulse or rash. Such is gambling and my ability to predict in the football! to take from it though I probably shouldn't have put half my bank down, that was a bit of a greedy move to try and win big. Oh well still in profit for the week just not quite as much!! got to be pleased with being up
Busy Sunday so probably wont get onto anything will do me good to have day off.
See you all on Monday enjoy the markets and as always good luck

I feel like I have been a bit petulant in the last couple of days which has led to a small loss when really I should just have kept clear and not got involved. I need to learn the lesson of patience.
Anyway still a great first week - thanks to rob the builder for my first comments and tips - need to build up a few contacts so not sure the best way to do this? but will soldier on
If anyone out there can tell me how to add YouTube videos to the page it would be much appreciated
Good luck all if you have anything on the game and come on England !!
Heart not in it
Not really trading yesterday with any gusto as flat out at work. Tried a few silly trades at lunch as was not doing it properly and really wasting money so went back down to 60. Really stupid really as i should have just kept clear of everything if I wasn't going to do it properly. my heart was just not in it yesterday as had loads on my plate.
Very thankful I backed out of my Mexico bet before SA scored, lost my silly accumulator with William hill tho !!! lost it on the first game!! not sure I should play much more on football as it just seems to be more unpredictable than anything else.
saying this tho might put a substantial amount on Brazil north Korea as i don't think anything will get safer than that!!
good luck all and come on England
