Call of the Wildcat

Quick update...and a proposal.

Published on 2010-08-24 16:52:00

Not the best of months again, down on the poker and a bit more up on the footy. Finally had the survey done for the flat last Friday and assuming all is well, should be moving in about 2/3 weeks (at last!). I have got a 5 year fixed rate deal of 3.99% which should pay off about £15k of the £88k total, as well as the interest. I want to pay an additional minimum monthly amount of £250 from football betting / poker which I will be amazed if I can't achieve. This will mean that when it comes to

2010/11 Football Preview.

Published on 2010-08-04 14:08:00

Yes, I know, you've been eagerly waiting for it after last season's near misses and successes! Here we go....Premiership.Main Bet: Arsenal to win at 7/1 (VC / Tote). Did you honestly expect anything else? No, seriously this must be their year. With no significant losses other than Gallas and excellent additions in Chamakh and Koscielny, to say nothing of the improvements in the likes of Wilshere and Frimpong, Nasri looking really sharp, it's now or never. Yes they need an additional defender and

A much better month...

Sports Betting: +£749.79. Poker: +£183.95. Total: +£933.74Well, got all bar about £50 of last month's losses back, so feeling somewhat happier! Played a lot less poker, concentrated on the football trading and it paid off, as well as getting a bit of info on a couple of friendlies which was nice! When I finally move I will need this to help pay off my mortgage early, that is the plan!Speaking of which, the flat is really dragging now, two months in. The week before last, my solicitor gave my

Lost interest in poker for a bit to be honest, barely played any tourneys for the last few weeks. But anyway, thought I'd have another stab in between some football trading...and this was the result: Played really well throughout, overcame some outdraws, especially from the runner up who nearly put me out on an earlier table as a result! Started heads up with about a 7-1 defecit...but polished it off pretty quickly ;) Confidence flooded back about half an hour in, odd how it suddenly happens, is

Thank god that crap is over.

Horrendous quality of play, attrocious standard of officiating (Howard Webb that was one of the most cluelessly inept displays I have ever seen, and that is quite some achievement given that I have been watching the game for a quarter of a century), those awful f*cking vuvuzelas (clue for those morons who like to play them - if you want to make a load of noise go to a circus - they have no place at a sporting event - if I had my way I'd snap each of them in half at the entrance). Horrific "pundi

One of the funniest wind ups I've ever seen.

This really cheered me up. Enjoy!Superb wind upOh, and while I am at it, congrats to EB Streymour (don't you dare say "who?" :P) who have started me off on the road to recovery with their performance against Kalmar in the Europa League Qualifier (an old system bet I used for total mismatches worked to a tee)Cheers for reading.

June review.

I honestly don't know where to start. Utter nightmare from start to finish, confidence shot to pieces in both betting and poker.Sports betting: -£634.59. Poker: -£349.96. Total: -£984.05.All started when I lost a load on the final of the women's tennis, when Betdaq crashed and was unable to trade out. I also lost a packet on Chile, I seriously can't believe how poor they were in that Brazil game, I didn't back them in the two games they won, I did back them in the one they lost against Spain

Am I unpatriotic?

Published on 2010-06-22 13:34:00

I really don't want England to win tomorrow. I honestly don't think I could stomach seeing the current set of players win the WC. It's not just the morons in the gutter press who would make sure we read nothing else for months after, so soon after slagging them off.The main reason is the players. In case you are wondering, it's not down to the fact there are none from Arsenal, obviously I would like Walcott to have gone but my general feelings would have been the same regardless.

Made it from a $75 sat, 18 through. Very nerve racking at the end, when pushing 72o with 2 needed to go out :D Ran AQ into bbs 55 which left me buttons, so had to call automatically with 76 when the sb pushed, but a nice 7 on the river saw me survive ;) Felt really sorry for the poor sod who went out 19th when his QQ push fell victim to K3o, King on flop, standard :| End of the day, I will do my best, let's hope it's good enough!

Poker going the worst I've ever known. Enough said!Time to make some money another way :DMain tip. Back Chile at 90 to win or 32 to make the final on the exchanges, a super price for a quality side which finished only a point behind Brazil in the South American Qualifiers. They have a tough draw, but the odds more than compensate for this, and you have to beat the best at some point.Top goalscorers. Angel Di Maria (Arg) and David Silva (Spain) at around 400-500 on the exchanges. Difficult to exp

Not on the gambling side, had another very disappointing month which saw me up the giddy heights of £89.84 on the poker, and a profit of £19.15 on the sport (LOL) making me +£118.99. Poker followed the rest of the year, but I played badly towards the end of the month, and a combination of running crap whilst not playing my best is a surefire combination for losses! I had a goal at real deal poker, tbh I am quite impressed by it. All it needs are some players as their non freeroll tourneys see

Most blatant fix in betting history?

Published on 2010-05-23 15:36:00

Judge for yourself.....Pre match. Albinoleffe v Padova. Home side 20/1, yes, 20/1. Away side 1/7. 1-2 Correct scoreline goes off around 3/1 having traded at 1/9 (HONESTLY!!!). Half time 1-1 scoreline trades at 8/15. Draw/Away on the double result ends at 4/9. Awful game, visitors take a 41st minute lead. 4th official allows only 1 minute of injury time, so they need to get a move on! Twenty seconds in, a cross from the right sees a neat conversion by a defender and the goalkeeper decides not to

Is the recession affecting poker?

Just happened to notice the stars £2m gtd scoop tourney, $215 entry and only (lol) 8266 in, meaning an overlay (and therefore a loss to stars) of £222,810! The late registration was kept on for an hour, but it got nowhere near the guarantee. Now obviously this may be an exception, but generally overlays on stars are as rare as hen's teeth. It will be interesting to watch and see if this is part of a trend, if the major site is affected the rest are going to be very concerned! I seem to be losi
