On the betting front, I managed a couple of cheeky (and if I'm honest, naughty) trades on the Chelsea game via my phone while in my sister's house, and then also got home for a quicky chinese takeaway and a little trading on the Man City game. In truth my heart wasn't really in it (the trading, not the Chinese!) as I was too tired, but I plodded along on autopilot and lost a little bit of money.
Overall today, an insignificant and very small loss - but then again I didn't really do much, so it hardly matters either way.

Just a last update on the P&L debate before I leave it alone. Mark Iverson wrote:
In my case I can only say that I stopped posting my p&l due to the income I was generating becoming more than just a hobby. I didn't want people who knew me 'in the real world' looking at me differently because I'd lost or won x amount in one day. in addition, as I became more serious I also didn't want to draw attention to the Inland Revenue about how you could make money on the exchanges.
Afterall, if someones onto a good thing, there can be a sense from some quarters that something needs to be done about it.
For what it's worth though, I love reading blogs that post p&l's!
As I replied to him, these are two reasons that I hadn't even considered when I drafted my post. Both valid points.
Many people in Europe are very active in football Trading & Betting.
