Gutted

There is an inevitability about Spurs waning performances towards the end of the season - as they always seem to do - and Arsenal scoring with (effectively) the last kick of the game tonight, shrinking the gap between Spurs and Arsenal to just one point. Of course, Spurs will continue their self-destruction and end up fourth, fifth or worse. And the scumbag gooners will take third. Sure as eggs are eggs.

The only saving grace about tonight was that I earned some decent money from the game. I managed £12 on Under 2.5 goals, after the two quick goals went in, I moved across to 4.5 goals and grabbed a small amount until the odds were too low for me. At that point I moved back to 3.5 goals and followed those odds down. When they no longer satisfied my criteria, I waited ten minutes or so and then carried on with the correct score market.

The match was dramatic, but it's always nice when there is a complete lack of drama when it comes to trading.

Ooh, I also managed to win £25 on the Betfair Treasure Chest thingy. I didn't even know what my target was, but my loss a few days back undoubtedly helped me to achieve whatever target had been set.

Just to let you know, I haven't forgotten about my match odds series. I'm presently knocking-up the third part and this should hopefully be posted soon.
