Ugh.
Ok, it's been a few days since I did this. I've still been betting but this run of bad luck has been annoying me. Anyway, West Ham beat Chelsea 3-1, meaning the Unders fails, but Chelsea continue to dwindle away which always amuses me. Goal scorer bet falls through as well.
I need to update what i won and lost on it though so here's the list with what way money was...
Liverpool v Southampton - L Suarez Anytime @ 4/7 Lost 50c
Liverpool v Southampton - L Suarez 2 or More @ 5/2 Lost 25c
Man City v Everton - M Fellaini Anytime @ 16/5 25c returned €1.05
Fulham v Tottenham - D Berbatov Anytime @ 17/10 Lost 25c
Fulham v Tottenham - D Berbatov Two or More @ 10/1 Lost 25c
Arsenal v Swansea - T Walcott Anytime @ 7/5 Lost 25c
I also did all these....
Reading v Man Utd - Man Utd @ 4/9 €2 returned €2.89
Reading v Man Utd - Man Utd @ 11/10 (-1.0) Lost €1
Reading v Man Utd - Man Utd @ 3/1 (-2.0) Lost 48c
The game ended 4-3 to United. I did some in play bets as well with mixed results...
Reading v Man Utd - 1st Half Over 5.5 Goals @ 4/7 €1 returned €1.57
Placed this when the fifth goal went in. Came in easily enough.
Reading v Man Utd - Reading to Score 4 or More Goals @ evens Lost 50c
Reading v Man Utd - Over 7.5 Goals @ 5/4 Lost 50c
Placed both of those at half time. There were 7 goals in the first half and not a single goal in the second. Only needed a single goal and neither team managed to do it
Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid - R Falcao @ 10/11 Lost €1.50
Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid - R Falcao @ 13/2 Lost 50c
Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid - R Falcao @ 25/1 Lost 25c
Useless ***** didn't score one
Fiorentina v Sampdoria - Fiorentina @ 8/13 Lost 25c
Placed this based on a tip. Final score was 2-2 thanks to a useless Own Goal Fiorentina scored :mad:
Did an X Factor Bet...
Next Elimination - Union J @ 10/11 25c returned 48c
At least I can predict X Factor well :pac:
So that's what I missed on here...
Margin.... - €42.90
There's little left in my account. If I do add to it, I'm only going to be doing very, very small bets and only on games I know stuff about. Or stupid bets on amazing odds <_<
Here's one for tonight...
Real Madrid v Ajax
Double Chance
Ajax And Draw @ 5/2
Borussia Dortmund v Man City
Double Chance
Man City And Draw @ 8/11
25c returns €1.51
Real and Dortmund are already through to the next round, whereas Ajax and City are playing for a place in the Europa League.
Enhanced Special Tuesday's Champions League enhanced

Enhanced Special
All 16 teams to score in tonight’s Champions League matches @ 50/1
50c returns €25.50
I've been doing similar for weeks now with the CL and not getting odds like that, so decided it was worth a 50c stake.0 -

Liverpool bets fall through
I did the following for the Spurs game though, and actually managed to win some! I HAD A PROFITABLE NIGHT!
Tottenham v Panathinaikos - J Defoe Anytime @ 8/11 50c returned 86c
Tottenham v Panathinaikos - J Defoe Two goals @ 8/11 Lost 25c
Tottenham v Panathinaikos - J Defoe to score in 90 minutes and Tottenham to win the match @ 11/10 €1 returned €2.10
Margin.... - €44.79
I'm going to stop with the "Two or more" style bets. They've cost me profit a few nights in a row now. The "X to score and their team to win" seems a better one to be working on
Also doing this X Factor bet ahead of time...
Straight Forecast - Jahmene / Christopher @ 9/2
25c returns €1.390 -

An addition;
Skybet have been sending me emails for a few weeks now (since I signed up for Fantasy Football) saying I can have a free ten quid bet if I join. Did so and have placed it on this...
West Brom vs Arsenal - West Brom to win - 5/1
€10 (free) returns €50
I figure I lose nothing if this bet doesn't come in, and as noted above, I think Brom's odds are too long for the match involved. So I decided to stick it on them and see what happens. If it wins, I clear my betting backlog. If it loses, I lose nothing
I know some might say I should have done a safer bet and just got some cash for it but where's the fun in that?0 -

I ended up completely losing track of this. Sorry to anyone who was reading (seriously, you were reading this! Thanks).
Anyway, I've decided to start anew. 2013 is here, so I'm going to reset the margin to 0, since it was hugely depressing me.
I wish I could say I've learned how to be a better gambler, but the truth is I don't really see myself as being in this to make a fortune. I'm in this for some fun. And I find accumulators fun mainly. I've decided to limit myself to a €5 every fortnight, and will not make a deposit to the account unless something major comes up.
But for the most part, I'm going to be doing small accumulators, the odd goalscorer bets on matches I know a bit about and the odd flutter here and there based on tips. I really want to start relying on my own intuition rather than blind tips.
So once the teams are announced today for the 3 o clock games, I'll be doing some betting 0 -

Thanks
On a fantastic run at the moment. Sure it won't last long :P
Also should note, the Costa bet earlier in the week didn't win, but, for whatever reason, Paddy Power refunded the bet to everyone who made it So it doesn't impact the margin at all.
Margin: + €50.10
€20 profit today already means I'm happier going for a bigger bet. Sure, if it's loses, I'm still a tenner up today and if you'd have told me I'd make a tenner in a day a few weeks back, I'd have chewed a hand off you :P
Lukaku to score vs Aston Villa - €10 returns €200 -
Lost.
Will update the margin at the end of the day.
Starting things off with...
Both Teams to Score in Arsenal vs Chelsea - €10 returns €15.71
If that comes through, then I'll be putting €15.71 on United to win against Spurs If it doesn't, then I'm not doing anything with the United match, so I can guarantee that I end today with the same amount I started yesterday with. 0 -
