The Weekend

Ok, sorry for the rant yesterday, calmed down a bit now. Still think Stiles is a pratt but there you go it happens.

Apologies for the lack of updates over the weekend, but with the family off for a week's break, been trying to concentrate on them.

Was offered a ticket for the Reading v Everton game on Saturday but didn't go as thought it would be unfair to take the time out.

Had a decent day Saturday on the horses as you will see below. However made some huge mistakes on other sports:

Cricket was a disaster (Laid Durham at the change of innings only to see 2 hampshire wickets fall in 2 balls at the start of their reply), Soccer wasn't great (Really fancied Newcastle to beat Villa), Rugby Union was just plain stupid (Fancied England to beat France for some reason, blind patriotic faith is all I can put this one down to)

Sunday was different to Saturday, as it was just a disaster with no help from the horses.

As you already know I had backed Dyson in the golf and decided to weigh in with Kaymer to try to get my loss back. Went well for much of the day and did manage to lay off both my stakes prior to Kaymer throwing it away.

Loss from the cricket came through to the P&L after it was rolled over from Saturday.

Soccer I have already covered yesterday. Started with a back of Liverpool, going well and had laid my stake back when they went in front. Chelsea then get a 'Penalty' and equalise. So I laid the draw for my original stake as I thought there would be a winner. What a dick. Lesson to be learnt here never gamble on your own team.

So miffed by the end of this decided to lump on Billy Mayfair in the US Golf. Close but no cigar.

In the cold light of day, I can see what a pratt I have been this weekend, and will post later on the new money management limits I am going to put in place going forward. I allowed myself to slip out of the new discipline I had picked up, and revert to my scattergun appproach which patently doesn't work when the gambling gods are against you.

I am extremely fortunate to still be in profit for the month.
