This evening, I settled down to watch the Croatia v Spain match. I had decided before sitting dowin that, being a little tired from my journey, that I would not trade or bet tonight - instead I would just settle for a watching brief and enjoy the match simply as a fan.
Well, you know me, I can't resist can I. About halfway through the first half, I figured that Italy had to score and so I laid 0-0. However, my bet wasn't matched at the odds I was looking for before Italy scored and so I left that game alone at that point. Then after Italy had scored, I thought to myself that Croatia have to score or else they are out, and so I laid 0-0 in the Spain match at 3s. This of course looked to be going pear-shaped as Spain were holding the ball well, even if they were doing little with it. Croatia had to bring more men forward, but I'd say I was lucky that Spain scored as it could (and probably should) have finished goalless.
So no trading tonight, just your run-of-the-mill loser-type betting which just happen to turn out okay. Doesn't feel great even though I won.
The rest of my P/L tonight is from some of the lay dutch that has already come home to roost. I'm undecided at the moment how long I will let the rest remain in place. Presently, the stuff that's left is showing -0.94p in the red, which is not particularly great.
