Progress...?

Since my last post, Arsenal successfully beat some team 0-2 to bring my roll to £29. I said i wouldn't bet on Liverpool to beat Luton, and, i didn'tuntil the last 3 minutes. I couldn't resist a live bet at 1/4 on a 1-1 draw. I put £28 on here and brought my roll to £36. I think there's a few rules for sports betting that all should abide by. 1) Thou shalt never bet on Liverpool and 2) Thou shalt never bet on Liverpool and 3) Never back Liverpool!! It's funny how inconsistant they are, they really never do whats expected of them, and im a liverpool fan!

My next bet is Chelsea to beat Everton at 5/6, i put £6 on here. They're at home and stamford bridge is a fort to them, so im confident my roll will be £41 by the end of the night .... who knows....

Sports Betting Success

It's been an up and down few days for me but things are finally starting to pick up. By combining low stakes poker with sports betting i've managed to find a recipe for success. My roll started with £12 and i've been playing £5 buy in .5/.10 on willhill. That might sound abit weird, but i usually leave the game early if i feel i haven't got an edge - luckily i've been ending these sessions with 2 or 3 quid profit )at the very least). With the poker i got up to about £18, so my roll was looking healthy. However, the sports betting wrecked it.

I put £16 on Liverpool to beat wigan at 2/8 and i put £2 on man city to beat, birmingham i think it was, at 2/1. So Liverpool drew 1-1, and Man city won 0-1, so my roll was a measly £3. I put it all on willhill and managed to it back up to about £14 playing .5/.10 after a really great and fearless session.

My next bet was man utd to beat villa at 10/11 - i put £11 there. Though utd won, in the 75th minute, i put £3 on a draw. This wasjust for insurance because it was such a drab game and there didn't look like being a goal. Well, Man Utd won in the end with two late goals so my roll is now £21.

My next and current bet is Arsenal to beat Burnley at 2/5 - I put £20 on here, so, hopefully my roll will be £29 by the end of the game.It's 0-1 to Arsenal now with 35 minutes left to play.
I won't bet on Liverpool to beat Luton or Stoke to beat Newcastle today. Both sides are very unreliable and knowing my luck, they'd both lose.
