After my Kerber v Keys trade from the last post I was away for the weekend so betting became a bit difficult. I had in my mind to take some bankers and increase my pot though.

BET 1 - ARGENTINA v IRAN Over 1.5 Goals

If ever I was supremely confident of a bet it was this one! I saw the odds of 1.23 and piled in thinking all my Christmases had come at once. I did hold back £500 though "just in case the unthinkable happened".

Guess what the unthinkable happened!! Argentina won through Messi at the death but only 1-0. I couldn't believe what I was seeing in the pub!

BET 2 - GERMANY v GHANA Over 4.5 Goals

No that's not a typo! Over 4.5 Goals... From the off, not after 4 goals have already been scored! Odds at 4.60. Now that is a proper chasing bet!!!

Can you tell I was pissed by this stage and playing chase the losses from my phone?

And too my utter horror I checked the score at half time to discover it was 0-0. I honestly thought I had done my money at this stage. However I checked again after 80 minutes to see it had been 2-2 since 71 minutes. I cashed out straight away but wonder might I may have got 10 minutes earlier?
