Back in the game! Well...sort of

It's been a long time since my last post and it's actually been a good month or two off from poker. However, a few days ago, i played a few freerolls and did really well, so im confident i still have my game!

My netellers not working, so finding ways of starting a roll has been difficult, but i decided to dabble in some sports betting to give me a kick start. So, I decide to bet on what appears to be a sure victory, Liverpool to beat Derby at 2/7. Ok, so, £42 is placed on this, and i am to get £12 back. Very poor odds, but, in my eyes it's an easy £12. ...How wrong was i....

Liverpool came out strong and Torres scored a great goal to make it 0-1. They searched for a 2nd goal but it didn't arrive. Derby scored an equaliser and had chances of winning the game. I had to wait until the 90th minute for steven gerrard to give Liverpool the 3 points and me a very well earned £12. £42 would have been a huge loss for me and a huge fuck up from me had liverpool drawn or lost here. I'm very relieved and am looking forward to turning this £12 into thousands. I'm not quite sure how im going to do it yet, i feel really chilled out about things, and don't feel pressured to play. Some well calculated sports bets and a few good rounds of poker, and i should be ok.
