Saturday 21st June 2014

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?

From then on I just concentrated on my drinking! :-)

Tip for Saturday as I don't think I'll be able to post

Kerber to beat Keys at 1.62!!!!

Really?

Those odds are huge. May not come in but as the old Rev Green used to tell me: follow the value!

If I can, I will be all over that like a rash!

2-0 looks a good price at around 2.5 also!

Interesting one this was. I decided to tale that price as I felt it was too high. I then traded out before the off when at around 1.52 for guaranteed profit.

Honduras v Ecuador

A bet from the pub finally pays off.

Went for over 1.5 Goals at 1.30 from the off. Only bet £849.27 on it.

Ecuador have just won 2-1 as I get in from the pub so my bet won

Well that's more like it! A nice £1,593.60 profit for the day. Not sure what posts I can do this weekend as will be away and betting from my phone. Hopefully I won't have spunked it all away by the time I get to withdraw on Saturday night and turn that red for 2014 into a green!

Happy Punting sports fans! :-)
