I had backed Rangers the night before as I wanted to get good odds. The next day I was playing with this new game I got on the iPhone (Trenches - very good btw) when I remembered the afformentioned game. Oh crap!
I checked the live scores and Rangers were 2-0 up! Jobs a good 'un so I went down stairs and turned on the telly. By which time it was 2-1! Argh! I booted up the the PC and by the time it had spluttered into life it was 2-2!!!! Bloody hell!!!! It was a minute to half time but Rangers still manage to conceed another one! What!? 2-3 to Hamilton.
2nd half Rangers equalise and I hold on for the result but it doesn't come - that cost me £100. Expensive iPhone app but lets face it, it was my own stupid fault for not watching the game. Loss.
With the illness and being pee-d off with betfair I decide to give it rest.....double frowny face.

Sensational Sunday!
Great day today but it could have been so different!
Celtic 1 - 1 Rangers
Started with the old firm derby which as you know, I went for £50 on 'over 2.5 goals'. After 65 mins with no goals I decieded to put a further £50 on a draw as it was 2.08 and I could get my money back and break even for the match. Unfortunately Celtic scored, oh no! They say you are the most vulnerable after scoring a goal and it proved right again as Rangers pretty much equalised straight away! So I traded out of the over 2.5 goals market for a £15 loss but kept the Draw money on until it ticked over to a £30 profit - making a £15 green overall for the game. This was literally 2mins after staring down a £100 loss. Win.
Man Utd 0 - 1 Leeds (FA Cup)
This reminded me of the Reading v Liverpool game as the underdogs were 16.0 for the win. I toyed with the idea of putting a tenner on Leeds but while I procrastinated Jermaine Beckford slipped in for a goal - reducing the odds down to 4.5. So put £20 on Leeds with a view to trade out later on. In a scintillating game, I traded out at 2.18 for a nice £20 profit as my nerves were close to shreded. It was nice just to watch a great cup match and enjoy the Leeds win. Win.

30th Dec, Boyd goes ballistic
Rangers 7 - 1 Dundee Utd
Following on from last nights post, I was without a decent net connection - being in the hospital 'n all. So when I went to the canteen for a cuppa, I perused the nights games on my iPhone and decided to lump my previous nights profit on Rangers.
£44 @ 1.33 - why? Because I wasn't in a place or situation to monitor bloody football games, I thought this was a good one to just 'fire and forget'. How right I was!
Not a great profit but still going in the right way.
(If I was able to monitor the game, I would have gone for over 2.5 goals in the Pompey / Arsenal game).

27th Dec - clawing it back....
Hibs v Rangers
OK whilst Hibs aren't that far away from Rangers points-wise, I was confident Rangers would turn them over after watching that Demarcus Beasley goal the other day. Anway, I backed Rangers £35 @ 1.98 - Win.
Manchester Utd v Hull
Bah - the previous game had left me tantalisingly close to the £400 mark so I traded a few ticks on this game and took an 80p profit. Win.
