England v Italy

England in the quarter finals eh! 3 weeks ago it was all doom and gloom and they had no chance of qualifying from the group. Now most people don't give them much chance against the Italians yet all the talk is of playing the Germans in the Semi's LOL.

Nastassja Burnett - Italian Number 8

















I believe they can win tonight. More importantly I believe there will be goals. I predict 3 goals in fact with a 2-1 result being the outcome. Hopefully to England but could be to Italy.

Everyone else seems to think it will be 0-0 and the Over 0.5 goals odds at 1.16 show this. England aren't as good defensively as everyone keeps saying and have ridden their luck so far. As for Italy they can be ripped apart at the back. The odds seem to think this is an Italian team from 20+ years ago! It is not so I'm piling into that price now as I'm off down the pub with the boys to watch this one (on a school night too!!).

Good luck whatever you bet - as long as it is for England to go through and more than 0.5 goals in normal time ;-)

Well bugger me! Sorry for the late update but as you will see lost my bank thanks to a 0-0 draw.

Reloading with £2,000.

Germany v Greece

Final bet to catch up on this one as I thought about taking the very juicy 1.15 on Over 0.5 goals last night in the Spain match but chickened out!

Dinah Pfizenmaier - German Number 6
However in this one I couldn't believe the odds for Over 1.5 so piled in.

Lahm opened the scoring in a very one sided 1st half. Amazingly Samaras equalised on 55 mins to give me my win with what may have been Greece's first attack of the match lol.

The Germans then picked up a gear and went 4-1 up with goals from Khedira, Klose and Reus. Greece got a consolation through Salpingidis from the penalty spot in the 89th minute.

Germany Won 4-2

Czech Republic v Portugal

This was the next opportunity to have a punt. Again I went for the safe option of Over 0.5 goals to keep the bank ticking along as I would have no opportunity in play.

Karolina Pliskova - Czech Number 10 






















The Portuguese left it fairly late and my nerves would probably have been in tatters had I been watching! But Ronaldo duly came up trumps in the 79th minute to give Portugal and me the win.

Portugal Won 1-0

England V Ukraine

Sorry I've been busy again all week only having chance to make bets and hope they come up trumps. I've had no time to do tennis at all.


Heather Watson - British Number 4

























It started with the England v Ukraine match on Tuesday night.

Rooney made his return from suspension and converted yet another excellent Steven Gerrard cross to win the game and the bet!

England Won 1-0

Italy v Republic of Ireland

Back to the Footy then after a day of tennis. Got away with my last bet with my bank intact!

With this match I expect an Italy win but would be delighted if Ireland can get something out of it (as long as theyscore!) more importantly I expect goals. Over 1.5 should be covered so that's the bet at odds of 1.27.

Good luck what ever your bet whatever it may be.

Amy Bowtell - Ireland Number 1
















20 mins gone and still 0-0
30 mins still 0-0 despite a penalty claim by Italy for handball.

Gooooal 1-0 Cassano gives Italy the lead (Just). 35th minute.

Half time and it remains 1-0. Bring on the goals in the 2nd half. At least I didn't go for the lower odds in the other game as it's still 0-0 between Spain and Croatia.

50 mins still 1-0.
60 mins still 1-0
70 mins still 1-0
80 mins guess what? still 1-0! :-(

Goalllll Balotelli!!! 89th minute! Always worth keeping your nerve!














Over 1.5 Goals Wins
Profit: £796.22
Bank: £3,874.47

I'm going to make another withdrawal tonight of £2,000 to keep some of these profits safe.

Maria Kirilenko v Francesca Schiavone

Schiavone has just won the 1st set 4-6. Kirilenko to serve 1st in the 2nd when I get on at various odds from 1.4 to 1.48 but averaging 1.43. Here's to an early break for Schiavone.

















15-0 ... 30-0 ... 30-15 ... 40-15 ... Holds. Too easy that for Maria. 1-0*

Need a strong hold now from Francesca. 0-15 ... uh oh! 0-30 ... FFS Fran what was that? 0-40 ... 15-40 ... 30-40 ... Great lob but Schiavone should have put the shot before away easily Break! 2*-0.

Let's have the break back then please. 15-0 ... Maria looking very good right now. If she wasn't such a mental midget I would probably switch. ... 15-15 ... 15-30 ... 15-40 Take the 1st one please! ... Grrrrr 30-40 ... This time then? ... Pfffft! Rushed it Deuce ... GP ... Holds for 3-0*.

Schiavone needs this next game or we may have a runaway express on our hands!

Much better Fran a bit of court craft 15-0 ... followed by a miss hit for 15-15 ... woeful 15-30 ... Jesus wept! The whole court open and hits it in the one place Maria can return! 15-40 ... 30-40 ... Deuce ... Better GP ... Holds! 3*-1

Let's hope that's Fran's slump over cos some of those points were truly awful.

0-15 poor from Maria maybe not breaking in that last game will affect her head ... Hmmm 15-15 or maybe not! ... 15-30 ... 30-30 ... 30-40 TAKE IT!!! ... FFS Deuce ... Jeez GP ... Holds for 4-1*

That's 0/3 BP for Fran this set. Can't keep letting chances go like that.

Ace! 15-0 ... 30-0 ... 30-15 ... 40-15 ... Holds for 4*-2 Now let's have that elusive break!

15-0 ... 30-0 ... 40-0 Fran resorting to moonballing! ... Holds 5-2*

Serving to stay in the set then! 15-0 ... 15-15 clueless! ... 15-30 impressive from Maria ... 30-30 ... Great serve 40-30 ... Deuce not the time to come in Fran! ... GP#2 serve and volley ... Holds! 5*-3

Now then Maria how is that brain of yours gonna cope serving for the set? 15-0 easily cope if Fran doesn't get her 2nd serve returns in! ... 30-0 another 2nd serve another missed return! ... Double Fault 30-15 that's more like it! ... FFS get a return at least once! 40-15 ... And set Kirilenko!

Schiavone to serve 1st then in the decider. If she can just hold that 1st game and get a mental lead I think she can pressure Maria into a break. (Well I hope so anyway). Sticking with Fran for now.

It would seem Francesca is now receiving treatment! That sees the odds tumble! Hopefully this is just tactical.

Here they come then. Hold please Francesca! 0-15 ... 15-15 ... WTF was that? 15-30 ... 15-40 Maria all over that point! ... 30-40 and save another please ... Broken by hitting it into the net when at the net! nearly impossible! Really poor game from Fran. SHould have won 2 points that she gifted Maria and would have held. 1*-0

NEED A FLIPPIN BREAK!!! 15-0 ... 30-0 too good ... 40-0 Fran not interested? ... 40-15 ... And hold for 2-0*.

Can we have a hold from Schiavone? 15-0 ... Double Fault 15-15 ... 30-15 ... 40-15 ... And a hold blimey didn't expect that! 2*-1

Now break her Fran!!! ... 0-15 ... 15-15 ... 15-30 ... 30-30 ... FFS Maria's rescue shots all seem to just catch the lines and then Scgia miss hits when it should have been her point. 40-30 ... Holds for 3-1*

May get out of this now. Double Fault 0-15 ... still on Fran as odds too low ... 15-15 ... 15-30 if you're gonna attack the net then get there don't dilly dally in the middle of the court! ... FFS 15-40 ... 2nd serve ... let ... 30-40 ... 2nd serve ... Deuce ... GP ... Deuce I don't think Fran has landed a 1st serve this game! ... Ooh there's a 1st and GP#2 now TAKE IT!!!!!!! ... Yesss 3*-2

Now for the break whilst Maria ponders on her missed opportunities? ... Not with returns like that! 15-0 ... or that! 30-0 ... better 30-15 ... 2nd serve ... again Maria getting away with hitting the lines! 40-15 but shouldn't have been! ... Holds 4-2*

Ace! 15-0 ... 30-0 ... 40-0 ... Hold! where did that come from? 4*-3

BREAK PLEASE!!!! 15-0 Maria so lucky but Fran not putting away her chances either! ... FFS yet again at the net easy put away but into the net it goes! 30-0 if I didn't know better I'd think Fran was chucking this match! ... 40-0 ... 40-15 ... 40-30 ... Flippin useless! 5-3*

I have a funny feeling that the break for GSM is inbound! ... 2nd serve ... drop shot that sits in the middle? 0-15 ... 15-15 ... 2nd ... 30-15 ... c'mon at least make her have to serve this out! ... 2nd ... 40-15 ... Not again? How can you hit it into the net from above your head stood at the net? 40-30 ... 2nd ... dolly it up why don't you? Deuce ... 2nd ... and the put away in to the net suprise suprise. those easy put aways must be in the double figures now! MP ... Deuce but the point was a drop which to me shows she didn't care! ... GP#3 ... Holds!! 5*-4

Could get out and save £500 or so or hope for the break? Backed Maria with £700 at 1.16 to at least have over £100 should she close it out now.

0-15 hello??? ... 0-30 Oi Oi!! ... 0-40 Oi Oi Oi!!! Schiavone peppering the lines now! Why did I lay off when I did? ... 2nd serve ... BREAK!!! 5-5*

Now a hold? ... Double Fault! 0-15 ... 2nd ... 15-15 ... 2nd ... Wow great return from Maria! 15-30 ... 30-30 ... 40-30 TAKE IT!!! ... 2nd ... WTF was that? missed it! Deuce ... BP ... 2nd ... Phew! Deuce ... GP#2 This time? Please? ... 2nd ... Double flippin Fault!!! Deuce ... GP#3 3rd time lucky? ... 2nd ... Aaaaarrrrrgh DF that serve bounced 3 metres this side of the net!!! Deuce ... and back to put it into the net when the winner is on for BP#2 ... 2nd ... LOL at least Maria having her own brain farts to try and even this! Deuce ... Hooray a decent serve GP#4 ... FFS at least this one went over the net! Unfortunately it was about 8 metres wide! Deuce ... Lovely lob! GP#5 this time surely? ... Nope it's Deuce! ... 2nd ... Double Fault! BP#3 ... Got lucky there! Deuce ... GP#6 for the love of God TAKE IT!!! ... wide! Deuce ... Puts it long! BP#4 ... well payed deuce ... An over head put away at the net that works! GP#7 Will it be 7th heaven? ... 2nd ... Finally! Holds for 5*-6.

Break for GSM? Yes please! ... Put some of my green on Kirilenko to cover some potential losses.  0-15 ... 0-30 ... 0-40! ... GSM Never in doubt LOL

Now then ski slope nose let's be getting in to the tibreak at the very least! Hmmm don't like the sound of her moaning with her coach, I think she sounds like she lacks self belief she can win.

0-15 ... 15-15 thanks to a wild shot from Yanina when she was dominating the point ... pfffft 15-30 that was a weak shot ... 30-30 much better point that time ... 40-30 great defence in that point ... And she holds for 6-6.

Bet 1 - Football - Euro 2012

Ukraine v France

Went for the simple Over 0.5 goals in this one at 1.11.

We had crazy weather in this match and a delay of 55 mins. When it was under way I had to wait till the 53rd minute when Menez gave France the lead. Cabaye made it 0-2 on 56 and that was how it finished.

Bet 2 - Football - Euro 2012
Sweden v England

Again I went for the safe option of Over 0.5 Goals at great odds of 1.15.

Andy Carroll landed my bet after 23 minutes to give England the lead. An own goal on 49 levelled it before the Swedes went ahead through Mellberg on 59 minutes.

England showed some great spirit though first with Walcott equalising on 64 before Welbeck scored the winner on 78 mins. 2-3 I wonder what the odds were for Over 4.5 considering Over 0.5 was so high?

Olimpo v Lanus

FFS Just waiting for my Over 1.5 Goals bet to be taken and boom Penalty in the 2nd minute which was duly converted!

Anyway 0-1 and my bet is on Over 2.5 at 1.48.

Paula Ormaechea - Argentina Number 1















That's the 3rd time Olimpo have had the ball in the net and the 3rd goal ruled out :-( Was a rash decision yet agin on my part getting on the Over 2.5 cos I missed the Over 1.5!

Goal! 0-2 on 38 minutes. Still on this one then!

Still half time and I'm bottling out. Laying off at even green at 1.32 for £23.80 on each side.
