Blackpool v Preston

Backed Blackpool and >2.5 goals. Turned out to be a 1-1 draw so lost on both counts!

XFactor - Danyl

Continued my abysml form in predicting X-Factor (all reality tv shows really) results by having a bit of a gamble on Danyl to go. He seems genuinely hated by everyone on the forums and I can't stand his nasally whine plus the emphasis he puts on every first word of a line.

Anyway, he didn't go - lost a fiver, never mind.....

Sat / Sun 29th Football bets

Made £10 on the Liverpool v Everton game backing Liverpool, traded out at 1.01.

Made another £15 on Arsenal v Chelsea >2.5goals market after trading out on the 2nd goal.

Backed Barca to beat Real and traded out after the 1st goal - made another £teen's amount.

The idea is not to be greedy and get out when you have greened up. So far so good.

Man City vs Hull >2.5 goals market

After the win against Doncaster, thought I'd put £10 on the >2.5 market for this game.

The thinking was City would whup them quite easily but it didn't happen. Another bloody draw for City but the Jimmy Bullard celebration was quality!

Forest to begin....

OK I'm believing in Forest to turn over Donny and to do it by quite a margin. They are my team and I've been getting impressed by some of the results they've been putting together, I really think that someone (possibly Donny) are going to get a tonking.

£30 on Forest to win - yeh it's a gamble but got to get started somewhere...

Starting with £30

OK here we go again. Taken some time out from Betfair as I've generally been sucking at it.

The original premise was to reach £359 as I lost it all but I didn't make it. Now the reason I didn't is that I got gready again and lost it all. Bloody hell - will I ever learn?

Anyway, got more motivation now - I'm expecting a little boy and he needs a ride. So the pram I'm looking it at is around £300. So, that's the goal - £300 for the pram and maybe some more so I can keep on trading.

Here goes....
