Trading, Betting and Sorting Crap

Been stuck in my garage most of the day clearing out all the crap that has been stored in  there since time immemorial (found Lord Lucan hiding at the back).

This has meant that I haven't had my full "betting head" on today, and have missed a lot of games. It's also meant that the stop-start nature of the day has led to inconsistent behaviour and inconsistent results. This is not an excuse, but something that I've found many times. If I haven't been able to dedicate the entire day to betting, then I'll often make dubious betting decisions. Maybe the scrambled mess inside my garage is a metaphor for hotch-potch behaviour today?

Anyway, despite getting caught out at least four times today in a negative position, I have still thankfully come away from the day with a small profit. It's hardly worth the amount of time I've spent betting today but, as they say, profit is profit (small fish are sweet, and all that).

Unusually for me, I went with straight match odds bets for the Inter and Bayern Munich matches, which resulted in a net loss of £9.00. Serves me right!
