off to windsor .................

tomorrow so this is my last full day , me & mrs d are escaping the taxi runs , babysitting duties and general everyday hum drum of life by having a weekend break in windsor ........... surprise surprise there is racing on , yes mrsd has spotted that !!! but looks like we could not have picked a worst weekend weather wise , saturday looks horrendous with a low pressure rain ladened system moving in from the west , anyway a breaks a break and im looking fwd to it .
now these odds on tennis bets are not for me and from the correspondance i have received the majority of subscribers feel the same , but credit where credits due with the 5/2 winner today , i backed wayne athurs as thats the type of bet that appeals to me , 1/50 or 1/16 or 1/7 do not , but thats me and im sure to some these buying money bets is utopia .

so thats it from me , until monday , the way my luck is all services will kick in for a marvellous weekend of profit , but i need a break from this , havnt had one since last september , good luck to all enjoy the weekend , see you monday !

maybe fortunate ...................

but i,ll take any winner at present and although i made a hash of the price in hindsight as he was available at 4.7/4.8 at the off , im relieved to show a decent profit on the day , otherwise a very quiet day , isiris are concentrating the tennis at present but the odds on shots are not me , although all have won so far although venus williams gave punters a scare yesterday .

a quiet day .....................

not surprising with the deluge of rain over the uk , a bet from myself was the only bet of note i took some time out to mull over the optimum racing p/l situation , andrew is a decent honest chap but that counts for nothing in the grand scheme of things and i cant keep absorbing the losses , it hasnt been a brilliant year quite the opposite but IF optimum was breaking level it would be bearable , i have had a few people email saying i must stop using them but i have ignored this advice but quite simply i cant carry on like this so a decision has to be made , i have decided to place a £10k stop loss limit on the service , if we go through that i will have to say enough is enough , if that turns out to be the turning point well thats life !!!

well a horse i noted from a green but most promising debut run was in action today the 3.45 wolv , the horse trained by brian meehan was called bailey and i was staggered that i could get 5/1 this morning i began to doubt myself but i had £250 ew @ 5/1 , he initially drifted but was then supported down to 3/1 fav again ran as if he was still learning the game staying on for 2nd but never looking likely to win , so nothing gained but nothing lost .

Sunday, June 24, 2007

FIRST WINNING SUNDAY SINCE 3RD MARCH !!!!

but i was made to sweat abit by a plucky rearguard action from the glamorgan lower order , optimum sport put up a maximum bet on warwicks to glamorgan @ 4/7 , at 117/5 off 16 overs i thought it was dead n buried but i suppose thats part n parcel of 20/20 cricket that sides can win or get close from near impossible situations , mark wallace hit 35 off 19 balls to nearly bring off a most unlikely victory .

as was mentioned on the message today isiris will be putting up main account bets on the tennis , win/lose i will not be recording these bets as i wont be backing them , its just not my cup of tea , i did back the 2 main account tennis bets but to 1pt ew insider strength .

weekly review upto sat 23/june

not pretty reading AGAIN ................ at this rate i,ll be stacking shelves at asda before year end , i have got to make a decision on optimum racing , i just cant afford to keep haemorrhaging money in this way , i feel that i have given it a decent crack but my p/l is not showing any improvement , quite the reverse in fact , and at the end of the day i cant let this continue , yes andrew is a decent bloke from my dealings that i have had with him but at the end of the day i cant allow this slide to continue , a loss of £2623.01 on the week , making the £30k target looking like pie in the sky at present .
any positives , well again the LAYING SERVICE - thebetcollection produced a decent profit is this the same outfit i was heavily criticised for using ??? if anyone would like a free trial of the service please email me , optimum sport missed the bullseye with the 25/1 advice in the euro u21 championship but the early signs are positive on their 20/20 ante post selection .

disappointment , frustration and losses .......... not an ideal scenario , i had a night off as went to watch essex in the 20/20 match tonight , sussex were poor take away goodwin & adams a team to oppose in this competition , and looking at the essex side i would be surprised if they reach finalsday this year , but hopefully they will prove me wrong .

i was keen on pride of nation in the last @ royal ascot , withdrawn earlier in the week due to firm conditions , the ease in going was very much in this ones favour i had £150 ew @ 6/1 first 5 places , up in contention he unfortunately faded into 6th!!! during the last furong , just sums up my fortunes at present .

a frustrating day in the office ..............

quite frankly , horses not getting a run , pipped on the post etc etc , the sort of things that when you are on a roll go in your favour and when youre in the dumps dont !!! and when i got up and went down the newsagents the first vehicle i saw was a land rover colorado model .................. the signs were good i thought !

make that 10 .........................

losing days in a row , slightly frustrating today as i fancied two horses at royal ascot som tala and hatta fort but i had one reservation , the jockey , now this blog is not going to become my vehicle to shout abuse at jocks especially with my riding ability and experience , but all of us have favourites and hugh bowman is not one of mine .................... im not saying he should of won on either of these or advocating that he thrashes them madly but he comes across to me as vulnerable in a finish and today did nothing to dispel these thoughts .

PERSONAL TRADING


as i stated above i personally liked two @ royal ascot today , the first was som tala in the ascot stakes i had £75 ew @ 8/1 , a close up 3rd rewarded me £75 , my second bet was going to be hatta fort in the last but this was covered by isiris , i was going to back it ew on my own account but with 3 places up for a 20 runner i passed this option by , hindsight i should have had a small ew double , but thats aftertimimg of the first degree !!

i had layed the draw on friday in the 4 th test for £200 @ 1.25 , i like laying the draw anyway and with so much time made up thesedays and the windies being such a poor and low in morale side i thought there was a chance of a result , why not just back england ? well just an outside chance i thought of a damp wicket england batting first and getting skittled , anyway a comfortable victory was wrapped up this afternoon for a profit of £194 and £269 on the day .

Monday, June 18, 2007

ninth losing day on the trot ..............

but i was left numb by the news of the death of a betfair forum goodguy OddsOn (bob) i first came across him in the betfair earlydays on the forum when i was enquiring about advice on a laptop to purchase , he then started the first betfair greyhound syndicate with betfairdotcom and just recently he emailed me with news of the betmate site after the recent commission increase from betfair my thoughts go out to his family , a most geniune friendly bloke rip .

pretty average fare on offer before royal ascot , the mh selection travelled well but found very little under pressure tamely folding when joined for the lead and finished 5th , the isiris insider finished 4th beaten just under a length for a return on the ew bet but to my eyes the selection in the last furlong received no help from the saddle and with a more vigourous ride would have collected the ew money , who am i to criticise i can just about ride a bike let alone a horse !!!!

week ending 16th june ......................

QUITE SIMPLY I WANT TO FORGET AND NOT REPEAT !!!!

a shocker with a loss of £1235.95 , but strangely im not too downhearted , the too major losses are from MH & the isiris main account and from past experience I KNOW that they will over the long term produce decent profits , and if themanfromfraam stayed on his feet instead of capsizing two out the figs would not look half as bad , but we can all talk in ifs and buts and the only judgement is via the bottom line . i made an error i suppose by getting so heavily involved on friday , this cost me £500 .
so yes i wont lie im facing a up hill battle to reach my target , im no where near half way there but we shall soon come to half time in the year , but i do remain positive .
talking of positives were there any this week ?
yes there were the isiris insiders produced a nice 16/1 winner and a profit on the week , and although the only lay on saturday was a winner the laying service produced a profit .
optimum sport started this week and the highlight here is a 25/1 voucher on serbia for the u21 european championship who are through to the semi final stage and are now a 4/1 chance .

just the one to provide a unwanted "full house" of negative balances on the day , i thought the holland/belgium match would be a dull drab affair with a point suiting both sides , i was correct on the latter but 3 goals in the first half , summed up my day as i backed under 2.5 goals for a £100 .

Friday, June 15, 2007

no one to blame tonight ..............

exept myself , but tomorrow is another day and im determined to ride thru the storm , this year is my hardest since i started my current "career" there has been very little continuity in my p/l 2007 , very much a rollercoaster ride and at present i am certainly on a dip , but i am staying positive although there are a few problems at present that i could do without but sadly they are a sign of being human and getting old ...............

a bit of a all round blow out , my interpretation of the info received recently has kept my head above the water ..................... sadly not today , i took one hell of a beating . optimum were keen t oppose sundae and a place lay was suggested i layed to lose £200 @ 2.14 ish to win me £175 , that was never on the cards and a loss was my reward . mh was keen on karathaena in the 3.35 mr i got the price £50 ew @ 16/1 but the 9/1 shot was always in the rear and never threatened .
in the evening i had one get out of jail card , unfortunately on this occassion it did not spring me out of the hole i was in £100 ew on orchestrator a loss of £200 and a monkey on the day , i wont be to hard on myself as i said i have done well personally recently , but when i needed it most sadly i couldnt produce a profit , talking after the dust has settled on a day where the weather was all over the shop i should have read my book or gone for a walk , as the professionals i subscribed to had a quiet day and perhaps i should have taken the hint !!!

for isiris followers today , thats the last couple main account bets not only beaten but out of the frame and the same from mh so a trying time at present , at one stage tonight in the race we played i thought they were running on the spot ! they looked to be going that slow it really looked hard work to my eyes , if portugal could have managed a late equiliser i would have just about broken into a small profit on the day which would have been a result but sadly no , so yes a difficult week so far , lets hope the second half is better .....................

had the value but little else .............

not a good day only slight saving grace is my reduced stakes on the mh flat bets at present , nothing at all against his flat judgement but previous seasons he had specialised in 2yo races and this season its sprint races , if results warrant a increase that will easily be done , a loss of £700 though on the day but thats less than 3 points to put things into perspective .

i had a fairly large bet for me today , it was a losing one but i was well happy with the thinking behind it , i probably should have made money on it but i was a little too greedy on the level i tried to trade back the race was the 3.45 salisbury the horse esteem machine the wager £200 ew @ 5/2 , i placed a lay @ 1.41 for £300 watching the race i felt sure i would have been matched but i think the low was 1.50 ish so a loss of £100 .

with two main account bets out of the frame , but im not too downhearted as the losses were minimised with decent personal returns and a first winner for optimum sport , i could easily of been looking down the barrel at a loss in excess of £1000 today but thankfully this was not the case

i had a lovely all green book on the old trafford test my only worry was a tie ! but thankfully just after lunch harmy n monty claimed the victory i had to trade the test on betfair rather than betmate as the liquidity was so poor on the latter ,the profit was £216 after comm . the afternoon was pretty quiet but i had £20 ew on hazy days who got up on the line to provide a nice win and a profit of £384 in the afternoon exchanges .
in the evening my sole bet was £50 on snorbans louie in the 6.38 romford @ 4.00 , he finally got his head in front where it mattered to record his first win , a personal profit on the day of £528 .

sunday 3rd march ...................

10 days before this years cheltenham festival , it seems a long time ago doesnt it !! well guess what that day produced a profit of £25 and that landmark day was my LAST profitable sunday , im not a fan of business on a sunday , not on religious grounds or anything along those lines , but i have always been brought up as sunday being a "family day" so thats when we have friends and family over or go out on trips , and i dont like to interupt my day by popping up into my cave to get my bets on which is understandable when you are entertaining . sunday is usually a quiet day i admit with the services i use , i think they all appreciate my sentiments but racing now is a 7 days/6 nights business and there is no escaping this , but given the poor results of sunday betting and my personal circumstances im seriously considering becoming "sunday free" betting wise .

a decent saturday produced a profit of £434.55 on the week , my two main services the isiris main account (+£45) & mark holder (-500) combined to produce a loss of £455 , so taking that into account im happy to accept any profit on the week , my personal selection and interpretation of the info received resulted in a profit a pint n a packet of crisps short of £1000 whilst the isiris insiders also had a most profitable week of £600 , the full figs are as follows ;

a truncated day for me ..............

as i had a evening summer ball which meant i had to leave diggler towers @ 4pm , mrs d drove and i was worried about the 4.30 isiris call back and the possibility of a main account bet in the 4.40 with a odds on fav but my worries were misfounded and i got the bets on with no problem , although they were unsuccessful . im looking forward to a break for a few days in july and it will be a total break , no scurrying around for prices just some nice and well needed relaxtion , but a nice end to the week today

a call back dilemna ................

i was facing tonight , but thankfully diverted when isiris had a 5.30 callback instead of the usual 6pm , the 3 services that i had called earlier all had 6pm callbacks for tonight thankfully a change in time from isiris saved me from a "fullhouse" at 6 tonight , as it turned out the 6pm callbacks proved a non event as regards account bets .

although a losing day on the account for optimum , i managed to recoup a large slice of the loss via kings icon in the good 2.45 , as they were interested in the horse but the price was too short as they were looking for 2/1 , i was keen to have a bet on this myself and was matched for £85 @ 2.90 , a tidy success in the end and a profit of £156.65 , and a couple of new enties into my easyodds alert stable from the race , other good news came in the form of my lay of the draw i have traded it so i have laid £175 @ evens in the old trafford test .

whatever happened to the likely lads ............

a humourous sitcom with rodney bewes and jame bolam from the 1970,s last night i was reminded of a particular episode that must have been repeated as i would have been only 7 when first shown but i was looking forward to a few beers down the pub and watching the england match , mrs d was off to the gym after work and was going to join me at half time . late afternoon plans changed and we were called into babysitting duty , i was gonna still go down the pub but decided with a possible main account bet later on i would stay in . we had cable a year back but after incessant arguments over what we were to watch between the clan i decided to pull the plug on it , it suits me now to listen to the test match on the radio and watch the highlights , yes i miss it at times but not the bickering ! so we decided to watch the apprentice then news and watch the football without knowing the score , i was a sight when logging onto the bookies sites around 9pm with my hand covering most of the screen as i didnt want to see any i/r betting or score , the news came on when they told us to look away if you dont wanna see the score three of us started singing and looked away !!! the match came on we were safe we had reached our goal of not knowing the score ......... then my partners daughter came in (we didnt hear her) and blurted out ............... 3 NIL GREAT GOAL FROM COLE !!!! we did not know whether to laugh or cry all three of us then started to giggle like kids it was a sight , i suppose it could have been worse the match could have been fogged off !!!

the haydock 3.25 was were i diverted the majority of my attention this afternoon both MH & optimum had reservations over brunelleschi the 5/2 fav it was trading around this level on betmate so i layed £225 @ 3.58 hoping to arb some of it later , if the price came under pressure i was hoping to avail myself of the 5/2 around 1pm there was a n/r announced then another couple nearer the race the 3.58 had now become 3.15 and best of all the fav was now drifting i placed an order to back £65 @ 5.00 this was taken to leave me a lay of £160 @ 2.40 , win or lose i was well chuffed , and a win it was .......... for me , never in danger £155.20 profit .
my only other bet was a £37.50 ew double the first leg was bengal bullet a highly fortunate 3rd @ 8/1 in the 2.40 na , the second leg was shavansky @ 11/1 in the 8.30 sandown who sadly let the bet down , a small profit of £80.20 on the day , i have layed the draw for £125 @ 3.8 approx in the test starting today @ lords .

why dont i trust myself more !!!!

i got excited when i saw the decs yesterday for the 6.50 @ thirsk tonight , a horse isiris members backed on its debut was having its second run , im positive we would have collected on that debut run but it ran so green and threw away its chance , the horse russian reel was duly noted in my easyodds horse alert stable ...............

im not sure what has happened but i woke up in agony every time i tried to turn my head, a proper shot of pain was my experience the pain eased slightly during the course of the morning but it was still most uncomfortable , i was going to sit the day out with regard to personal betting and after my only unsuccessful play in the afternoon i wish i had MH was keen to oppose nesnass on stamina doubts in the 4.30 sedge and perhaps with hindsight if i got involved i should have layed this around the 9/4 mark , instead i had £100 ew on his 2preferences barney @ 6/1 and sir knight @ 8/1 , nesnass was just beaten into 3rd by barney but dream castle was the winner a loss of £180 .
all day i was looking for some reassurance that i was on the right line with russian reel , i wasn,t expecting 9/2 i thought he would be a lot shorter but no one could give me a word of encouragement infact optimum went for nickel silver in the race and was pretty negative on the chances of russian reel , so my confidence took a knock, in the end i had £100 ew @ 9/2 a nice bet to land but i was so sure in my mind that he would come on a ton after the debut run and must be in the three, last night i was thinking of having a bet double this size at half the early odds available , in 2006 i was most successful on 12/20 bets of this nature just selecting via what i had seen from watching then noting them on easyodds , i should have more confidence in myself , but a profit of £540 on the race and one that is gratefully received !

will i get sussed out ....................

i bet 1.01 i will , mrs d is a shrewd cookie , why is she with me you ask !!!! thats foxed me as well , i have decided we need a break some time away on our own, the kids/gran kids are great the taxi service we operate not so great !! so i have booked a nice w/e break at the end of the month to windsor at a lovely looking hotel ,by chance i have just spotted there is a 2day meeting there ;-) on the saturday & sunday !!!!!!
what a result today a profit just short of £200 i agree nothing to shout home about but after the lingfield 4.15 i was losing £640 so well chuffed with that , i got some glossy brochures today from skybet explaining the merger of ukbetting & totalbet with skybet and giving me a free £5 bet so i logged on to back charles darwin @ ripon ................. only one problem my max bet with them seems set @ £1.75 !!!!!

i got involved in the 3.30 via £50 ew charles darwin @ 7/1 and £25 ew lake chini 27/6.6 both weakened pretty tamely and then i backed joy n pain £35 ew @ 15/2 in the 3.45 ling but this selection never got into the race so a deficit of £220 , at this point i took a break and went for a stroll up to the bookies in southgate within a mile i have a pretty good selection 2 x hills , 2 x lads , a paddy power shop and a soon to be opened betfred shop i had £100 ew on sophie tucker in the 4.30 against the long odds on costume , to my eyes second never looked in danger , a profit of £200 , i pulled up stumps for the day with a loss of £20 .

the day started well ................

and got better !!!! a couple of years ago i had a wake up call healthwise , had to change my lifestyle a bit and behave a little more responsibly if i wanted to live to see any children / grandchildren grow up , thats what the doctors and nurses told me and from that day my life changed , so much for the better . every 6 months now i return to have a check up and this morning was check up time , everything was spot on so a relief there , the usual you could do with losing a few pounds and drink a little less but everyone was pleased , i have cut down on the drink but the bottom line is that is that i dont smoke but i do enjoy a glass or two of wine . i lost my mum in a car crash as a teenager and ever since that time i decided to live life to the full, as if every day is your last , well perhaps i took it to the extreme not content with burning the candle at both ends i was burning it in the middle aswell ! but for the first time in my life i think i have the balance right a lot of that is down to mrs d , less of all that ............
it looked like being a very quiet monday ntg from my main services in the afternoon but it proved to be a most profitable day ................

the afternoon was very quiet so i decided to look at a couple of races @ lecicester the 3.00/3.30 in the 3.00 i liked fretwork and was not so keen on giant slalom i was unsure how to play it , in the end i decided to hold back and play in the next , a 4 runner event could be a tactical affair on soft ground , money came in for medley and i was worried over the ground for this one and decided to take it on , i was looking at laying around the 6/4 mark but sustained support meant i layed £200 @ 2.32 , i was pretty confident from some way out my money was safe and i was in profit to the tune of £194 . my only other bet on the day was in the last @ thirsk , mimi mouse was a horse that i had backed last time out when just being denied 4th by a shd , tonight my selection had a brilliant draw and i had £60 on @ 5.3 , bagging the rails early on i was fairly confident and a win brought to a close a most peasing day in a couple of respects , a profit of £444.70

just one week i would ...............

like to start the week off with a profit !!!!! out of luck today so start my week proper nearly a monkey behind , sundays i run a skeleton service place my bets then log off until the evening to spend time with mrs d and her kids and gran kids , saturdays are proving a problem at present and they may have to be run along the lines of a sunday , summers are difficult with evening racing evening night bar sunday and racing 7 days a week , its not as if i can phone up bets so life in summers can prove stressful on a few fronts !!!

although saturday took a little gloss off proceedings a weekly profit of over £1700 was just what the dr ordered , my personal trading was the highlight with a profit of £1297.01 i cant guarantee another such fruitful week but im putting more effort into this side of things as i realise that my 2007 target is in danger of not being met , this week will see the introduction of optimum sport they are launching a subscription service after a most successful stint as a premium line service , if anyone wishes to join the service if they like the results let me know . the other highlight was the laying service and if anyone is interested in a trial please contact paul@thebetcollection.co.uk .

well done frankie !!!

what an excellent derby meeting for the headlines writers , it really could not have been scripted any better . the derby meeting brings back a lot of happy memories the first i went to was in 1983 as a chubby spotty 16 year old , the chubbiness remains but thankfully the spots have gone ! this was when the derby was on a wednesday and it was a 3 day meeting , its funny how certain things stick in your mind , but i remember i was with my dad working at walthamstow dogs on the tuesday evening returned home and there was a derby preview on the tele big mac was interviewing john power who at the time was a prominent fearless on course bookie , lester rode thewinner teenoso in soft ground i was clerking on tattenham corner and i worked with a couple of real characters ben a 78 year old jewish man was the front man pricing up then we had shorty a italian romany type who knew every trick and more in the book , if we £600 on the day with shorty in full flow on count back after the last race we would probably show a £800 profit on the day !!!! to say it was an eyeopener is something of an understatement ...............

a poor day to end a decent week , i have received a half dozen or so emails from isiris members unhappy with the ante post situation this year , well as instructed i traded mount nelson and lucarno although i didnt get any of the 100/1 but salford mill i was left with a £100 ew exposure i didnt hear the message to trade it back @ 8/1 and going by the sums traded on betfair £700 @ 9.0 thats £350 actually layed and £76 (£38 really) traded @ 8.6 other members either failed to take the advice or like me didnt hear the message , if i had heard the message i would have traded half back , so the isiris derby p/l was zero but from the emails received , many of you were not so fortunate .

a last point , EAGLE MOUNTAIN i hope none of you got your fingers burnt on this , just remember there is no such thing as "FREE MONEY" i learnt this in 2005 with the kicking king episode , at the timei wasworking at betdaq and with the irish connection of dermot desmond , jp mcmanus and chronicle bookmakers justin carty our office at times was awash with "live" priviliged info , i was in the ring of confidence and i got a tap on my shoulder "son , kicking king is out of the gold cup " he was on the drift but thankfully my balance with the fair was low i only layed for small , and quite soon the price had gone thru the roof and i greened up , others in the room were not so lucky for a week all was fine then "THE DEAD ONE CAME ALIVE" so to speak , and some of the positions i heard of would bring tears to your eyes , so these days i let such comments flow over me and treat them with a pinch of salt and i dont get involved but i did notice fancy prices hoovered up on the win mkt , place mkt and w/o authorised mkt thankfully the liquidity to my eyes was not too great .

a loss of £125 on the day all from the derby , a loss of £200 on salford mill who in the circumstances ran a terrefic race from his early position to finish 6th , i realise this was a insider bet but as i traded back the other isiris bets then if the instruction was given to trade back salford mill its only fair i feel that i take the hit , i echo a lot of the ante post frustration and in future i will play things differently probably treat all ante post bets as 1/2 pt ew or 1pt win bets , i had backed aqaleem £50 ew @ 10/1 earlier in the week i had layed the win part @ 9.4 and i kept the place part a profit of £125 , after the dante i backed authorised £200 @ 2.80 i layed back £300 @ an avearage of 2.033 to give me a profit of £50 on this play so thats brings to a close the 2007 derby .

three cheers for henry !!!!!!!!!!

the first henry cecil horse that i remember was wollow when ridden by frankies dad , but for me i best remember him for in the early 80,s he was king in my eyes , i was 16 had left school and my time was spent in the silver ring clerking while my dad was in tatts and the likes of diesis , dunbeath and precoucious were in full flow , so yesterdays win brought back memories of happy times in my life , i was well chuffed for him .

a quick mention with regard to the laying service - thebetcollection , its early days i realise but i took a lot of uneccessary flak for taking up this service from paul , some blatant lies were posted but nearly a month into the service and i have been impressed by all aspects of the service , at the end of the month he posted his profits and clearly mentioned that comm of 4% has to be taken into account if anyone is interested in a free trial of the service please email paul@thebetcollection.co.uk i have never had any dealings with the betcollection but paul has come across as a genuine decent guy and good luck to him .

earlier in the week i had spotted a arb opportunity on light shift in the oaks i believe i mentioned this on bh monday , i backed her for £200 @ 6/1 and laid £150 @ 6.46 i was looking to trade back the other £50 but she had been quite weak on the exchanges during the week and she was trading around the 7/1 mark as they entered the stalls , so i was left with £50 and sat down to cheer on henry .
MH and optimum gave a few successful pointers in the evening cards but i passed these by as i wanted to concentrate and enjoy the football , on recent form i just couldnt fancy england against the majestic brazilians i was unsure whether to lay england or back brazil , i decided to lay england £140 @ 2.94, but as the game progressed i was impressed by the commitment shown by the three lions they couldnt match brazil for skill or deft touches but they gave their all . it looked like my football curse was going to raise its ugly head but in the 92nd min i got a get out of jail card , a profit on the match and a £516.25 profit on the day .
