Balance

Well yesterday could have been a good day but in the end it fizzed out into another bad one.

The spread bets Balanced each other out with a slight profit as Messi failed to score so the sell came in but Tevez also failed to score so the Buy flopped.

I had already backed Argentina to win the game and even dipped in just before KO backing the draw, thinking that I had it covered as I could not see Germany winning and if they did no probs as I have them on the outright market at 16's.

Well I now need them to win it to recoup some of the losses that I have made during the tournament, I could GREEN UP now but I have decided to let it run as I really do think they are going to win it.

I will play around with the semi final matches to cover my original stake though.

Never thought I would be cheering for Germany!

I backed the draw in the Paraguay v Spain game and thought I was going to be onto a winner when Spain got lucky and snatched a win, how the market now has them as favourites is beyond me?

Anyway all in all a poor day and a poor month so far but if Germany win the World Cup the month could turn around very quickly.

I am currently paper trading a new idea for laying horses and will be looking to expand on that over the next few weeks, it is nothing radical and I am sure nothing that has not already been done before but you have to keep looking at these things don't you.

I will be happy and sas when the World Cup is over, I will miss the games but my betting bank will not miss having the you know what kicked out of it every day.

As a fellow poster on my favourite forum says "football betting is the wicked mistress"

Have a good sunday all, no bets for me today, but i have said that before.....
