My Little Botty

Okay, you've got me. The title is just a lame excuse to put up a picture of a cute arse. The weak pun actually concerns my new bot, which has performed well today on it's first unveiling. This of course means very little as it needs to be run for a considerable length of time. When I back-fit my automated system it makes a profit, but we'll see how it performs in reality. Just small stakes at present. I've had more false dawns than I care to mention, so I'll go cautiously.

I did my Heathrow run this morning, but with a delayed arrival I missed the first half of the Norwich v Chelsea game. The second-half proved okay however, so I shall not complain. I did get to see the whole of the Bolton v Liverpool game, which turned out to be something of a roller-coaster ride for me. The game just didn't pan out how I envisaged it at all (which is the beauty of football, I suppose).

Even before I could get involved, a goal was scored, so I went straight onto the Under 4.5 market. This was a big mistake as the goals continued to fly in. I could, with hindsight, have left the bet in place for a rather large win, but I wasn't about to risk that amount of money and traded-out on that for £7 loss.

The Juventus match is just about to start, so I may have a go on that, but for now, I'll wish you a good evening. The mighty Spurs play against Man City tomorrow. I fully expect City to win, but I will still watch the match full of hope.

Update:
Just finished the Atalanta v Juventus game, which I found incredibly hard going. I'm not really sure why, but I kept dipping in and out of different markets and didn't feel particularly comfortable in any of them (as you can see below from the small amounts on each). At one point I was going to give up because things just didn't feel right (perhaps I'm over-tired), but I decided to persevere and have come away with a small bit of profit on the game.

I'm going to veg-out in front of the telly now, and have a glass of wine. The Adjustment Bureau is on Sky so I'll park my brain and give that a go.
