Quiet day

Didn't have a bet today on the Gee Gee's. was busy in work, hit the gym and then had to take my Daughter shopping for new shoes. By the time I got home I couldn't be arsed looking through the cards. Doesn't help that all my other bets are going South. Another NBA bet lost last night with the Kicks and Spurs trying their hardest to miss but stay ahead. Fuckers.

I'm on this tonight so swerve it if at all possible.

I'm also on Worsecter HT, Leicester FT at 7's in the Rugby for small stakes. Should be a real grind of a game and with Worcester home they might get ahead but Leicester should win in 80 minutes.

Edit 14-5 HT, C'mon Leicester.
Edit Edit 14-19 FT. Easy game.

Me old mucker Simon "Amatay" Jones has been on Twitter telling everyone how happy he is with West Hams new signings. Here's a picture of the Gayer.

Have a good one folks.

Groundhog day

Walcott scores, ruled out for offside. Lampard scores, ruled out for offside. You've got to be shitting me, right? Worst thing was Lampard was only offside because QPR goalie Julio Cesar had a lion bar in his pocket and Frank was torn between staying onside or getting first dibs when Julio unwrapped it. So, instead of being £100+ up I'm £40 down. Such is life.

Yesterdays lucky 15 doubled my money with 3 winners and guess what, I had another three winners today. See there is some thought gone into this blogs title.

Todays Horses were, No Deal, Illustrious Forest, Bussa and Saffron Town and I'll probably get back £30 ish for a £15 stake. Yet again I had problems with the playbook so didn't get any money down on-line.

Tonights NBA bet of which I'm running as good as I am in the Footie is over 206.5 in the Knicks/Spurs game.

I've joined a gym to help shed the four stone I've gained since I've given up smoking and it's a bit of a bargain. Twenty quid a quarter gets you this.

And if you're wondering just how fat I am then..............................................

Hopefully in a few months I'll be looking like this.....................................................

Catch you all soon and thanks for reading.

Another day, another dollar

Walcott reverted to type last night and played like his usual cuntish self. Maybe I'n being a little unfair on him, his freekick was diverted in for the Arsenal goal and I believe he may have had one ruled out for offside. He still didn't fucking score though.

And in the same vane I'm going for Frank to score tonight for Chelsea.

Can't believe they've let his contract run down. He's a fantastic player and I'm sure someone will snap him up for big money.

In the can't believe class I'm also astounded that Romeo Beckham has started a career as a Model. With his Dad being thick and his Mum being thin I thought he might have become a medium.

Also, can you believe someone let their kid go out like this? The mind boggles. Who the fuck dresses their kid like that and lets them take an umbrella out?

Done a lucky 15 today but had problems with my Blackberry playbook which was playing up. Every time I tried to scroll down it would pick the race where I first touched the screen and it nearly ended up smashed into the wall. Eventually I gave up and headed up the bookies. Missed the first race which was a winner, typical, and put these on.

Desert Cry
Ishkawa
Miss Bunter
Sofis Spirit

The first three won at marginally odds on prices and the last which was a replacement for Green Flag trailed in last of three. Am going to spend the next hour sorting out my Playbook so I don't have a repeat performance tomorrow. Not sure of the actual winnings, will find out when I pop in with my ticket.

Started back training today and opened up with a 10k cycle ride and then pushed a few weights. Am hoping to shed a few pounds (stone) this year so will be training most days. Currently weigh a mahoosive 16 stone so need to lose at least three to three and half stone.

Will be back a little later with an NBA bet or two.

Edit

Rafa couldn't believe Chelsea could have 25 shots on target and not score even though he left their best two players on the bench. Fucking dick.

On a Cavs, Raptors and Pacers treble tonight for small stakes.

Thanks for reading.

2013 - Could this be a winning year?

I like a punt but I've never really kept records. I was probably up last year thanks mainly to a lucky 15 with a 50/1 winner for a decent four figure sum. Poker wise I was probably down but my heart wasn't really in it and I pretty much gave up after the APAT event and I guess I didn't play more than 100 tourneys all year. Can't see that changing much but gambling wise I'm definitely going to keep better records.

Starting today.

Had a £2.50 lucky 15 this afternoon which had the following winners: Hawkes point 1/1 Woolfall Sovereign 4/5 Tarquinius 2/1

I also had Rakaan at 4/1 who managed to get boxed in when there were only six runners???? Well played Georgie Baker you useless twat.

That bet made about £30 so I've put £25 of that on Theo Walcott to score anytime at a touch over evens.

I've got a couple of bets running at the moment. £50 on the 49ers to win the Superbowl at 6's. Also got the Golden State Warriors to win the NBA @ 136/1 for a fiver and to win the Pacific conference at 16's for a tenner.

When I get five minutes I'll knock a spreadsheet up. Until then...........

On over 206 in the Nuggets v Clippers game.

£20 to a lot the long way

First try went down at bet 4 I believe. Another go tonight. Going for Forest Green at 1.2 for £20.

Bet 2. £24 on Belgium U21 over 1.5 @ 1.21

Bet 3. £29 on Montenegro U21 over 1.5 @ 1.32

£20 to £1k the hard way

Going to try and spin £20 up to a decent four figure sum on the over 1.5 goal market. It will take about 20 bets and I'll try to post them all here.

Bet 1. Halmstad £20 at 1.23

Bet 2. Helmond Sport £24.60 at 1.2

Easy game, both in by half time.

Bet 3. W.B.A. £29 at 1.34

Bet 4. Rayo Vallecano £39 at 1.32

Good luck.

ECOAP, carnage in Nottingham No Cash style

Last weekend at DTD saw the European Championships of Amateur Poker which I decided to attend mainly because Blackpool's finest, No Cash and Awesome Hutch were going to be there plus I fancied playing a live Stud event.

I pitched up on Friday and took my seat with 34 others in the Stud Championship. I've played 7 card Stud quite a bit online and if you trawl back through some of my posts you'll see me binking a few HORSE and HOSE tourneys. You'll quite often see pots taken down with two pair in Stud, even one pair when a couple of players are drawing heavily and have lots of chips invested in the hand and both miss on 7th street. So I was quite gutted to lose with a full house to a bigger one, a straight into a heavily concealed flush and then my rolled up three's into rolled up sevens. All this to the same guy who you could say owned me but I think he was quite fortunate the lucky twat.Tail between legs I headed to the bar for a few Strongbows and hit a £1 £1 cash table. The action was pretty good although they were all local players and I finally left at 4.00 am with the grand sum of an extra £20 in my pocket.

The next day was the six max and I had already been warned by No Cash that he and Hutch were on the piss all day and no prisoners were being taken. We started off at 1 pm with a cheeky pint in Frankie and Bennys because DTD wasn't opening 'til two. As soon as we got in it was straight on the 'Bow again. Hutch busted first and headed straight to a cash game. I'm not sure what time Dave and I bust but I then watched in awe at just how lucky he fucking is.
First off he walks past a roulette table and places a fiver on 13. It binks for £180. Then he sits on the lucky pair Blackjack with a ton. This heads south until he has a tenner left. He then puts a fiver in the box and a fiver in the lucky pairs. 3s 3s, for a 30/1 payout. He finally stands up £380 ahead. Then he puts a tenner on black on the roulette, leaves it there for 3 spins and walks away with another £80. All this in the space of half an hour. Jammiest twat alive.

Hutch on the other hand was having a tough time having Aces cracked by Jacks for a £700 pot so we decided to head into Nottingham for a few more Ciders because having already had ten was nowhere near enough? The rest of the evening is a drunken blur. At one stage we were drinking Jaegerbombs but instead of Red Bull we were using Sambuca???? I'm sure that can't be right, but with No Cash anything is possible. He disappeared towards the end of the evening which left Hutch having to pin me against a wall as I kept on falling off the stool I was sitting on. I have no idea what time I got back to my hotel but I awoke with the hangover from hell and facing 12 hours of playing cards in the Main Event.

I got to DTD to find No Cash waiting for me with a Cider and Ice instead of Soda and ice. Superb. Seeing as he was going to stay sober I was surprised to see he had a pint of Guinness in his hand. The first few hours were torture. I managed to get up to $20k but was card dead. Whenever I played a hand I missed the flop big style and couldn't bring myself to fire another bullet. Basically, I played like a right twat. Finally, about six hours in, I raised AK up and hit a king on the flop. A guy fired at the blank turn, I raised and he put me all in. I called and he turned over pocket 2,s. No need to tell you the river.

I headed to the bar a broken and dejected man. Shortly I was joined by RTR regular Ant1966. We had a good chat about life in general. No Cash turned up not long after which wasn't surprising. He had run his $15k starting stack up to $40k, down to $15k and back up to $38k so I was expecting him to either make a run for it or totally blow up. I should have known which when I took him a pint to his table and he had three on the go??? He headed to the cash tables and I sat with Ant for awhile and then started talking to a Welsh guy who lives the opposite end to me. As is always the case we found we had mutual friends and a little while later I discovered he posted on Blonde which I regularly read. So Dewi Cool and I shot the breeze for an hour or so before he headed back to his hotel. Nice to meet you mate, next drinks on me.

Hutch was taking the main event seriously i.e. not drinking so I wandered off to find No Cash. He was on a £1 £1 hold 'em table and had £450 in front of him. The next time I saw him he was on a £1 £1 Omaha table with £1100 in front of him? He reckons he's gifted. I just think he's the luckiest man alive.

That was the last time I saw the two fish as Dave was mullered and Hutch wanted to hit his bed to give himself a shot at the main event on Monday. I played cash for a bit before heading back for a five hour kip and a three hour drive to Cardiff. Hutch went deep in the Main event finishing fourteenth I believe. I'm sure he'll post on his blog about it. No Cash stayed sober and played the £50 Omaha side event. He of course binked it for £1500. I'm sure he only won it out of spite because I didn't have 5% of him in that event. You can read some more about it with photos here and here .

Have a good one folks, thanks for reading.
