2012

Hope you all had a good Christmas and heres to a good new year for us all...back to work on Tuesday and the daily grind of the 8-5...

Was looking forward to the starts of the Darts Championship just before Christmas, but made a hash of the first day taking a £70 loss, then hit a couple of bad lays on the Horses chasing and withdrew my bank in anger. I am studying various systems, have purchased Mastering Betfair and am using the simulation on Fairbot, with it been a new year I am not depositing until I feel I have this trading fully cracked.

It may be next month, it may be later in the year, but the main thing is im going to be doing research and get this right, the horse trading is what I really need to crack and I dont mean gambling, proper trades like Mets does on his blog, so many races all year long, its a goldmine that I need to tap ;)

Seen some good films...Horrible Bosses, Warrior, A Lonley Place To Die, all good stuff...but we have another Drive for the most overrated arty piece of crap - Kill List - turns into some crazy Wicker Man spoof by the end lol!

Have to mention Dexter as how a show can fall so far, its turned into such a predictable piece of crap its shocking...Debs starting to fall for her brother...wtf? as the Fonz one did, it jumped the shark!

Darts Update!

Late in tonight but have caught the first few dart matches ^^^


What a brilliant run I have been on, I am terrible at playing Darts...not too bad at trading it, although a big blow up will no doubt be on the horizon...

Cheers for your support Sniper, hope all is going well...time for our yearly christmas Selbyathon soon...:)

Here is the last few days, looks nice! yes I am singing when I am winning...lol..

Darts

Have been looking at other sports recentley as the Tennis has just about finished now, with just the finals at the O2 starting on Sunday which should be good...

Still looking at pre race trading but cant seem to get much going, I think im following a swing then it goes the other way...fast! I see the big money coming in but then the odds seem to fly out, hmmm will have to hurry up Mets and get him running a course, must be great to be consistent at pre race trading.

Last night was bored watching the England match (this team are going nowhere, the worst England squad in living memory...oh wow they have won two friendly matches 1-0), and flicked over to the Darts, i've traded Darts before a little bit and gave it another go, aswell as making some nice profits, I really enjoyed the matches with some varied and colourful characters, will be giving it another go tonight!




You have to be fast trading darts, especially in the best of 5 legs matches like these, and its best to get out before the deciding leg if its close as a player can go from 1.8 to 1.01 in seconds...

New Beginnings?

Well the Pokerstars profit attempt has not gone too well this last month, bad beat after bad beat and massive fields, so yesterday I gave up and put some money back on Betfair, along with the Berdych match this morning not a bad 24 hours, up a nice £141.83

No more leaving trades to run, the Berdych match would have been a good example...looked like Cilic was going to run away with it but i've seen it all before and sure enough Berdych took a 3-0 lead in the second set, thankfully I had already greened up. £50 wins on single matches are decent wins and i've come to appreciate that. Small trading wins on the Horses, mostly pre match with a couple of in play scares which I really should not get involved with, and a couple of big wins on the Rugby and Darts..(LOL).



Going back to the poker, as I had some money back on Betfair I entered a few mtts, back to some fairly normal size fields, and cashed in 3 of them with a nice result in a 10r (1r and add on) coming 3rd/790 for $1481...cool! so with my final table last month on Party Poker, what is it with the ridic rubbish on Stars, still determined to at least get a decent final on there...and I will!

Film wise watched the most overrated film I have seen since The Dark Knight, pointless violence, long drawn out scenes with ridic silence, no story, no emotion, yet geeky critics are pulling their pants down over it...go figure...

The final episode of this seasons Breaking Bad tomorrow, brilliant show just gets better and better and puts films like Drive to shame, actually glad that the writer has decided to make next season (season 5) the last one so it will have a proper ending and not drag on and on like a lot of American shows...

Another full week at work as yet another member of staff on holiday! ah well hopefully some evening tennis to trade on but I think a lot of it is going to be early morning stuff...

Nothing Much...

Covering holidays at work most of the time yet again so been busy and tired on an evening, a few days off this week, have played some Tennis, lost against Horner 3-6 3-6 6-7 (up 5-2 in the last set...pfft) and today vs Sniper 6-1 4-6 7-5, some good workouts there and a good match from Snipes on his return from paradise...

Came 2nd in an Mtt on Party Poker for $1679, played some cash and have ran well but have given quite a bit back on the BastardStars, the amount of suckouts at the moment are horrendous! Hoping for a decent final table (even the $1 rebuys have a $10,000+ 1st place) and then cash out forever!!!

This would then leave me with a bigger roll and hit the trading hard, as too many times I have threw the odd £100/200 away on silly trades...have been trying a few paper trades (Fairbot has a simulation trade option), a place laying system seems very good in its early days, and a more stringent way of tennis trading is looking good...

So for now there's not much trading to report....I may be a while...

Beat The Red!

Just as im moving forward I take a step backwards...yup its the old red devil again!
Could have greened up for £25 in the Isner match at the weekend, but no I thought lets get a bit more, boom the market flips the other way as Isner changes into a complete dog wanker! and I sit there and let the red increase and increase till I collect the nice shiny £65 RED...

Have won it back and more since, but to make a decent go of this discipline is 100% vital, pretty much as I said in the last post...;)

Scalping the horses, mainly laying one of the faves in certain races, where they are pretty much certain to trade higher, and plenty of tennis on at the moment, although its not involving the top seeds recentley...

Saw a couple of quality films, Limitless was great and Insidious was a fairly decent low budget scare flick.

** FRIDAY - After following a horse tip blind today (at work so could not trade out), I bounced back with a nice evenings trading...

Nice 24 Hours...

So after a few silly 3rd set losing trades recentley, I got the rule book in place (red out early...avoid 3rd set trading) and took a crack at proper trading last night and today.

Small scalping mostly in the racing, while the tennis mainly involved laying the fave early on in a match where they had no right to be starting at like 1.2-1.4 and quickly pushed up to bigger odds, especially in the womens tennis where some of them hit double faults for fun...

I actually prefer these smaller tennis tourneys as there are much bigger swings in the odds as the players struggle to live up to their on paper form...played tennis myself today against one of the best players from the squash club, I lost the first game but came out 6-1, 6-2...not bad!

Ok time for the pub...
