Running Total

I have added a running total into the right hand menu now, this is so it’s easier to keep account of what i’m making (or losing), the figure is taken from my betfair account which I will post screenshots of now and again. The figure starts from August 7th.

I placed a few overs bets whilst in Rotterdam but they didn’t come in, anyway now the Scottish season has kicked off and the English domestic season is starting this weekend the £200 bank has gone in!

Amsterdam Tournament Outcome

Well it finished 2-0 to Ajax with both goals coming in the second half, I traded out of the 0-0 to get back the £15 placed on correct scores, plus an extra pound, then at 2-0 traded the 2-1 Ajax scoreline to make a profit of £8.

I traded out of the over 2.5 goals just to get the £20 back when the second goal went in.

So a profit of £8 in that game ;o)

Amsterdam Tournament

So I thought i’d have a few little bets on the games tonight, firstly £25 on over 2.5 goals in the Lazio v Arsenal game, the odds were 2.04, Arsenal won 2-1 so I came out with winnings of £26 less the commission.

I didn’t bother trading out of the bet as it was an early enough goal and 1-1 at half time so I thought there would be at least 1 goal in the second half.

The next game is Ajax v Atletico Madrid, I will go with overs again on this game, £20 with odds of 2.0.

For fun and trading purposes i’ve also put £5 on each of these correct scores 0-0 (15.0), 2-1 (15.0) & 1-2 (10.5)

It’ll be good to see little Luis Garcia in action again too
