It's Mega!

I don't know if anyone else has entered Betfair's Megaminute competition, but it's one of the few offers of theirs that I bother participating in. I'm betting on the event anyway, so it's effectively free entry and is well worth a punt. If you're not familiar with the competition, you just have to guess the minute the first goal will be scored. It's a bit of a stab in the dark, but as I say, there's nothing to be lost.


Betfair have run this regularly during the normal Premiership season, offering £1,000 (or a share of it) for any correct guesses. I managed to win £50 from it a while back (see below), but during the Euros they've upped the prize pot to £5,000. I'd say this is well worth it. If 20 people guess correctly (as happened when I won it), then that's still £250 if you're one of them. If you want to enter for tomorrow's match, this is the link.

My winning guess

_________________________________

On the actual betting front, all much ado about nothing, I'm afraid. Yesterday I traded out of my lay dutch of the winners market as the downside was too uncomfortable. So that's a £16 loss, but that's okay. I also had a fun bet on a GG at Ascot yesterday. It lost. Then I had a small test bet that I duly forgot about in this evening's quarter final in the half-time score market, so I lost £18 there too.

The only actual proper trading I did was on the full-time correct score market, where I managed to pick-up just over £50. So a stunningly dull tenner profit today, which was hardly worth bothering about. Apologies for the extreme dullness of it all.
