    Been on a bit of a break from gambling in the last while, but with the new Premier League season starting and the US Open coming soon, I've decided to get going again! To that end, I've thrown €100 into my betfair account and am intent on pursuing a variety of different strategies to try and eek out some profit.

    Will edit the first post of this thread with my latest bank and open bets!

    Original Bank: €100
    New Bank: €62.40

    Open bets:
    Laid Ian Poulter to win the Barclays Open @ 13 for €2. Profit €1.92, liability €24.
    Backed Juan Martin del Potro to win the US Open @ 15.5 for €2. Profit €27.75, liability €2.
    Laid Sophie to win Big Brother @ 2.88 for €2. Profit €1.92, liability €3.60.
    Backed Jelena Dokic to win US Open @ 600 for €2. Profit €1,146.49, liability €2.
    Backed Agnieszka Radwanska to win US Open @ 500 for €2. Profit €1,272.45, liability €2.
    Laid Stoke to beat Sunderland @ 3.38 for €3. Profit €2.88, liability €4.14.

    Going to double up here. With so many in the field and Big Brother having a huge history of shocks, I think this is a fab price, especially with the likes of Siavash and Rodrigo in the house.

    Laid Sophie to win Big Brother @ 2 for €4. Profit €3.83, liability €4.00.
