Sunday 25th - the joys of spring

We remembered to turn the clocks back and headed for the beach nice and early. Beautiful weather for March. I love the sound of those razorfish shells breaking as you walk on them. We also identifed the dolphins we saw last weekend (in the North Sea!!) -they were "Harbour Porpoise" a type of whale growing up to 2 meters longhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbour_Porpoise .

OLBG went well yesterday as did real money betting (2 bets only !! layed eng ht/ft @3.10 and traded the unders in the CZ v Germany game backing @1.85 and laying @1.60)

Hopefully my ironic/sarcastic comment on the OLBG footie thread yesterday put everybody off the "banker" treble of Engalnd, Holland and France. Only 1 goal in those three games. Banker with a capital double-U :-) There is no such thing as an easy international anymore and no such thing as a rich patriotic English punter.

I did an OLBG tip on Malta to win the Asian Handicap +1.75 away to Moldova. They led 0-1 until the 85th minute when Moldova equalised. Reason for the OLBG tip? My mate in Malta was telling me how a bet on Moldova @1.44 was "free money". In that phrase lies a goldmine. Lay the bet anytime someone tells you its free money !! Might start doing it with real money. I actually saw Malta's last game on TV, away to Austria and they played well, taking an early lead - eventually losing 3-1 I think. The TV was in a bar in Vienna which made the shock goal even more satisfying.

OLBG tips today started well with Craven winning the 3:10 Taunton and the fav losing @1.66. Scary doing a win and lay in the same race but I've made a profit the last 3 times I've done it (insert fingers crossed icon).

Feedback welcome, as are promises of cash for my OLBG charity trading challenge !!

Alfie,

Hi, Bit of a weird blog, mainly 'cause of the timescale. I'll be interested to see how your charity Trading goes. Which charity and how does the donation process work?

asking for feedback is the worst way to find out if you are typing this blog to yourself, can't you get a free hit-counter.

not too sure about trading, seems more like work than actually working for a living

Best of Luck
