Chasing losses

OUCH the cash machine Federer lets me down in the first set. I will resist the temptation to chase my 20% wipe-out and will probably have no more bets today. Looking through my spreadsheet its the first trading wipe-out of the month, so I mustn't grumble.

Mondays? I hate them betting wise. So probably no more activity from me until Tuesday. The target for the month has been met.

For those who are interested, these were my other 7 OLBG Bets Of The Day, posted on http://www.online-betting-guide.co.uk/forum/forum33.html


Bet 7 CORRECT - Posted: 27 Jan 2006 13:09 Ile Facile EW @12/1 in the first at Fakenham for me. (or back on BF @16.00 and Lay off in-running, hopefully it leads)
Jockey N Fehily had 3/4 last time he was there. Better value than laying the over-hyped Fav in my view.
(Came 3rd, and more importantly went as low as 2.16 in-running. Fav unplaced )


Bet 6 INCORRECT - 15 Jan 2006 11:36Barneveld @1.48 looks massive to me based on the 3-dart averages


Bet 5 INCORRECT - 14 Jan 2006 13:52 My attempt at a BOTD five timer; 15:45 Carlisle - to be placed - Vandas Choice currently BF @3.20


Bet 4 CORRECT - Posted: 13 Jan 2006 11:53 Going for my BOTD 4 timer with 14:10 Some Touch but in a nice safe way.

Back pre-race 100@2.12 (price when posting, looks like it might start higher)(later comment - some lucky sod has 2.40 - Not me though.Its now gone into 2.00 with 15 mins before race starts.)

Lay in-running 110@1.73
For +31.70 if it wins, +10 if it don't (minus commission).
(it didn’t place, but the in-running Lay was matched)


Bet 3 CORRECT - Posted: 12 Jan 2006 17:44 Darts - I wouldn't dismiss Klaasen just yet. But it seems sensible to start the game with a bet on Hogan @4.00 on BF then Lay off for whatever balance of green you prefer if/once Hogan goes in front. (Klaasen wins but Hogan trades as low as 2.30 to make Alfie a Happy Bunny)


Bet 2 CORRECT (WON @ SP9/2) - Posted: 12 Jan 2006 13:42 Sthl 12th Jan - 14:40 - Back - Local Poet 1pt win/3pts place, BF currently @4.50 win/ @1.88 place only. Was as high as 5.90/2.34 before being punted in to 4.90/2.00


Bet 1 CORRECT - Posted: 11 Jan 2006 18:10 Blackburn v Man Utd Asian Handicap, Blackburn +0.5 @1.81 BF (= 1.80 after 1% commission deducted)
