Istanbul 2012

The end of season Womens Tennis Championship is upon us and is a chance for the top 8 to compete against each other, even though Williams isnt the world no 1 she will probably put the rest of them in there place at the age of 32. It runs into the evenings so some good chances to trade...

Got to be careful as recentley I have been leaving big reds when trading and have been lucky a couple of times which can turn into straight gambling, as Sniper told me today...trade within your bank!  all pretty obvious really but you've got to keep that in your mindeset...

Winter setting in now but managed a game of tennis against Sniper today 6-1, 6-0 (been off form since his manflu) and may be one of  the few times to play for the rest of the year with the cold weather arriving this weekend, shame as its a good way to keep fit and I really enjoy the sport these days and I retired from football a few months ago due to an ankle injury...

Full House!

A crappy week at work...but a good weeks trading, hitting a full house with profits over 7 different sports (even just short of £2 at football lol). The main success personally has been the profits in the horse racing, most of this has been pre race and I am starting to finally get a feel on how the markets move, the £60+ loss was my own daft fault, when I left one to go in play and forgot and was browsing across the internet, flicked back to Fairbot and just caught the odds hitting 1.01 and a loss, of course I could have easily greened up if I had been paying attention!

Tennis has carried on been a great sport for trading and at least there are some evening matches to trade this week...

A few films watched recentley - The Dictator - crazy stuff and a lot of miss but when it hits some comedy moments

The Avengers - Wow expected better, non stop cgi action but I found it very boring as it was just like watching someone else play a videogame in cheat mode, you know they are invincible so whats the point?

Prometheus - A let down when compared to the amazing trailer and not really an Alien film, but still enjoyed it a lot as it was never predictable and made some interesting points about where mankind actually may have come from...

...and the return of Dexter has been great after last years abs terrible season, anything can happen now I guess!

E U R! E U R! E U R!

"E U R" its not got the same irritating tone as the shouts of "USA USA USA" but what a joyous comeback that was in the Ryder Cup, never thought they would make the full comeback, but obv the odds were too low with so many holes to play, got my lay in at 1.17 and of course in hindsight would have been great to just leave it, but later on the odds were flying all over the place and it was a straight coin flip so took a nice green when I could...

Made a bit last week on the tennis but not what I excpected and a lot of the matches were taking place at like 4am, and I couldnt resist my lie ins! same again this week with early morning stuff from China so will miss that while at work, made a mess this morning though backing Cilic in the third set and blew £60 which went against all my rules, just jumping into a game with no pics (just slow scoreboard)...thats why im still working as I get complacent and greedy and just fly in and think the greens will come...

THATS NOT TRADING THATS GAMBLING GONK!

So with not much tennis left this year i will try and get my head round the pre horse markets again...or maybe not lol...
