Out of a hole

Yesterday wasn’t one of my greatest betting days ever but then equally it wasn’t the worse. My main bet Mark Williams to bt Mark Allen, risking £175, was 4-0 to Mark Allen at the interval. I’d also had an acca which included Williams and a few others that were trailing at the time. I’d lost [...]

Thursday and more sport

Blog titles are quite difficult things to come up with so i’ve excelled myself today. Yesterday wasn’t a bad day. I was primarily waiting on my acca coming in with William Hill. I needed a victory from Mark Selby in the afternoon – he won 5-1, very comfortably. Then in the evening I was hoping [...]

Positive day

Good day yesterday with both my snooker selections progressing. The Dave Harold match was a bit of a stressful situation as I couldn’t follow the match progress for a sustained period because of the world snooker livescores and other sites malfunctioning. You were therefore relying on moves in the Betfair market to make conclusions as [...]

Slow start for the snooker

A new snooker season brings a new challenge for the many punters that follow the tour. I’ve started pretty poorly from my few bets with a -£335 figure to contend with. This has helped put me into a negative position for the month overall although I need to update the spreadsheet to know my exact position. [...]

One Bet

Further to my previous post i am now having one bet today.
Northern Ireland Trophy Snooker
Anthony Hamilton to bt Andrew Higginson 1.88 £185

Yesterday

I’ll work my way backwards through yesterday as it’s easier to remember. We had friends round last night, which was a re-arranged plan as we were going to the pub originally, as I had a few big bets running on the golf. As it was they didn’t figure (Cabrera and Kim) and my other hopes Curtis [...]

Waterboys saved me dosh

Football yesterday on the whole was good with Newcastle, my main bet, winning as expected. Acca I got 2/4 which is better than 3/4 but obviously not as good as getting 4/4 if you get my drift. So many times i’ve missed out because one result has let me down so 2/4 is definitely better [...]

Also had £20 on a Cheltenham 1-0 win at Oldham at 15/1, unlikely but just have a gut feeling today.

Bank Job

There are certain occasions when you’re scanning through the prices and you see something that jumps off the screen. Well I had one of those moments just then. Newcastle to beat Bolton at St James’ Park at 2.04 – are you serious? Usually i miss the best prices but by the looks of the Betfair [...]

Time to kill

I’ve got loads of things I could be doing but don’t really feel like doing them. I’m signed off work at the moment and still feel pretty lethargic. To make matters worse the European Golf is not going well. Looks like i’ve only got one player going into the weekend (Levet) if the cut stays [...]
