Burnley v Arsenal

Well in this match I backed Arsenal at 1.79 when it was 1-1 at halftime.

Unfortunately that was the way it ended!

Christmas Link:
Arsenal used to play in Highbury. One of Highbury's former famous residents is Charles Cruft. He is the founder of the Crufts Dog Show where so many PUPPIES aspire to be best of breed not just at Christmas but in their life!

Loss: £44.40

Atlante v Barcelona

It's the semi-final of the World Club Cup so not sure how seriously Barcelona will take this but going to back them anyway at 1.25!! LOL

Halftime and it's 1-1. Barcelona coming back from 1-0 down. Let's hope they turn it on in the second half!

For the Christmas list:

Atlante are from Mexico. The first US Minister to Mexico, Joel Roberts Poinsett, had a plant named after him. That plant is the POINSETTIA and is indigenous to Mexico.

1-2 to Barcelona after 56 ish minutes. Hoping for 1-3 as I've got to go out shortly.

Barcelona won 3-1

Philadelphia Flyers @ Pittsburgh Penguins

With the whopping amount of £2.11 left in my bank I decided to have a punt on this when the odds were 1.24. I say when the odds were as I actually had no idea of the score or the stage of th game.

After placing the bet i thought I'd better check up and found Pittsburgh leading 3-1 at the end of the 1st Period.

The final score was 6-1 to Penguins. Perhaps this a better approach to NHL betting for me!!

As for the Christmas List:

Philadelphia was the home town of Sister Sledge. Sledge is another name for SLEIGH
