First in the bag

Hi all

These will probably be occasional posts, but will hopefully help a few lost trading souls along the way.

I have been trading football (with mixed success) for four or five years now. Like many of you, I've experienced the highs and the lows. I "think" that my trading has now taken a turn for the better, but time will of course tell. In the meantime, I will post my progress as we go.

Okay, for my first "blogged" night of trading on Betfair, this is how I faired:

tball: £102.35 | Tote: | Total P&L: £102.35

Football Showing 1 - 6 of 6 markets Market Start time Settled date Profit/loss (£) Football / Livorno v Ascoli : Match Odds 18-Nov-11 19:45 18-Nov-11 21:38 10.53 Football / Kaiserslautern v Leverkusen : Correct Score 18-Nov-11 19:30 18-Nov-11 21:21 9.61 Football / Kaiserslautern v Leverkusen : Over/Under 2.5 goals 18-Nov-11 19:30 18-Nov-11 21:19 2.22 Football / Kaiserslautern v Leverkusen : Match Odds 18-Nov-11 19:30 18-Nov-11 21:19 47.26 Football / Kaiserslautern v Leverkusen : Over/Under 1.5 Goals 18-Nov-11 19:30 18-Nov-11 20:57 3.84 Football / Ingolstadt v 1860 Munich : Correct Score 18-Nov-11 17:00 18-Nov-11 18:52 28.89

This included a slightly lucky profit on the Match Odds for the Bundesliga game (as I was on the right side of the book when a goal went in), but I will take what I can.

My apologies if this initial entry is a little short on content, but I'm fully pissed now, and approaching One O'clock in the morning, my mind is already on my pit upstairs.

Hopefully we'll chat again soon. There are some good games on tomorrow!
