Bad IP address??!!!

No trades today as not able to access the exchanges-so frustrating!!! Apparently I was told that I have a bad IP address and I have no ta clue how to deal with that, waiting now tomorrow to speak to an engineer. Crazy indeed!

Do not remember that one happening to me but there you go, so I can only wish good luck to myself tomorrow!

Indian Summer

It was a bank holiday today so I got the opportunity to catch up and slept almost until lunch time. Actually I could sleep much more but the sunshine came into my eyes, yes this month has been amazing weather wise, almost everyday as been worm,without rain and pretty sun-shining!

On the trading front I made 9 trades, 1 in the red and 8 in the green, with more than 9,5% green on my stake. Early in the evening my internet connection broke down and I had an open trades so had to cancel them trough the phone-pretty scary moment indeed!

Trading lines

I have a headache today from trading! I thought that will never happen as I enjoy it enormously especially when I am winning, but yes the day came when that happened. I made 24 trades today-that must be the biggest number of trades since I started the new approach.22 of them were in the green with two in the red which brings just over 22% green on my stake. I feel really exhausted though, 5-10 trades are ok but more than that and Ican feel my old age! Today a friend of mine donated a picture for my home office- a nude lady looking trough a window in black and white, really artistic I must assure you of that!

Today is the 37th trading day since I started my new approach.The results up to now are encouraging. I try really hard to follow it and not to go out of line - as today again I was 100% there will be a goal in the Liverpool game at some point after the 20th minute. Yes there was a goal but there will be times when there will not be so I am actually proud and happy to be able to stick to my new approach. The average trade brings back 1,29% on my stake. At the moment I do not have a stable stake but hope in a month time to be able to have one. Still very early days though as I had many times very good starts to 'new approaches' and they all finished in a disaster.

Dont like errors!

Today made 16 trades, with 15 in the green and one (the last one) in the red. It is so annoying when I do something stupid, like the last trade where I was in the green and did not concentrate enough and went into the red,errrrrrr. I hate mistakes done from stupidity, and I get really frustrated, so went on to chase the loss but then cooled down and stopped as things like this will be happening now and again and I just will need to accept it. The second trade in the day was quite unique and frustrating too as for more than 15 min I could not trade out due to liquidity issues. The positive note is that I made just above 20% on my stake which is pleasing.Was away in the morning for my weekend squash game and then was away in the evening as well.

So Ibra went back to Italy and now is with Milan, good move for both sides as he did not show his great potentials in Spain.

Today

I was out tonight and managed to do just two trades. Made 2,60% on my stake and looking forward to tomorrow's trading.

Went out for a meal with some friends and had a few drinks. When I got back home I was itching to trade but there were not much, so I got involved in a trade where I should not go really with my new strategy of trading. That was naughty, so I will have to avoid this kind of trades in the future.

The Den

Recently I have moved to a new flat because the old house where I used to live was sold out. Now in the new one I have a dedicated room which I called "my office" or the mob's den as my colleagues at work call it. I always dreamt to have an office where I can trade freely without disturbing anyone. The unique point at my office is that it has a sea view and I love staring at the sea for no reason.I am still in a process of creating it, so far I got a few chairs an old table and my old laptop. The idea is to create a proper trading office with TV screen connected to a satellite where I can watch live most football games which I trade. That is a big issue now for me as Sky for example does not offer many live games and all internet feeds are late with 30 seconds at least. I generally love watching football so will try to find something suitable which can provide live football games.

Today made 11 trades and made just above 9% on my stake, 10 of the trades were green and one went into the red where I had to cut my losses and run, but trades like this will happen now and again. I was happy as I had no control over it and reacted accordingly so i could save my stake from a disaster.

Mandarin

Today made 8 trades which is quite surprising given there were not that many games. The result is all of them ended up green with more than 17% back on my stake. Very satisfactory evening with Barca-Milan claiming the biggest portion of the green today.

I was trying to buy addidas trainers for my father all evening and could not find anything good and reasonable so tomorrow morning need to continue my pursuit in addidas hunting.

Tottenham unsurprisingly won my more than two goals, I was expecting nothing less but as i am sticking to my new philosophy I avoided the trade.

Temptetation

Traded only two games today and made just above 3% on my stake. I was tempted big time to place a bed on the Real Madrid game to score after half time but voted to stay away as promised to my self not to get involved any more in that kind of betting. I was very sure that they will score a goal at the second half and was so much itching to do it but need to stay focused and continue my strategy which looks promising al least for now. From 32 trading days I was just 3 days in the red, and my average daily green is just above 9% on my stake which I am very happy with.

Naughty Discipline

First day of the week and back to my main work after two hectic days trading the exchanges.It was kind of boring in the office as I was creaming up to go back and start trading at home. I made 9 trades today and the first one was a horror show in its full calibre! I should not go at all at this one, I knew I should not and just could not resist. It is very hard for me when all is going well to resist some crazy trades. Do not know how to deal it that as I know it is not right and still doing it?!

Anyway I accepted a loss which was around 15% of my stake and took it on the chin. So 8 trades were in the green with one in the red. The thing is when I do something stupid like that I try to chase and from then on everything goes in the wrong direction. Still miles away of looking into it professionally. Made just above 11% on my stake and I am pretty happy with it.

I knew Liverpool will be crab, it is my personal opinion that Roy Hodgson is not a big game manager, he can do fantastically well in an average team but in a big team he is not up for it. Time will show of course, but with him and with so many teams competing for the top 4 spot I can see Liverpool overdoing Cheasea, Man Utd and Man City and Arsenal.

Pretty Lady

It was a delightful day today, the weather was awesome for a change and I went for a walk in the morning with a friend. When it is sunshine over here it feels like a paradise, however that does not happen very often for sure.

I came back just after lunch time and started trading stright away. After the last two days when trading was horrific at times, today everything went smoothly - not to believe indeed! Even the connection went down only once and I was not trading at this point - luckily!This becomes to be a huge problem - I have no backup when my connection goes ashtray, and this has costed me a few times. No really have an idea what to do right now, will do a research in the next couple of days. Made 17 trades -all of them green, with just above 31% in the green on my stake. I kind of trying to take it easy because most of the times I get too well ahead of myself and stuff.

iphone for exchange trading

Anyone using iphone as a backup on the exchanges -betfair/betdaq? I wondering as I am exploring my options for a backup as my internet connections lets me down now and again.
Any comments will be much appreciated.

Tough Lady

After yesterdays horrific stuff today the same story continued in true manner. I missed the first half of the games as was away and started my trading in the afternoon. The first few games went well and I really wanted to make a good start to compensate for yesterdays troubles ( this is wrong thinking by the way as it shows I am still chasing losses-not professional!) all went smoothly until my Internet connection slowed down and I tried to restart to see how is going to be. Then went to make a cup of tea and worked it out that I would be back for the next trade as I had 7 min to spare. To my horror when I came back the game was already started and from then on everything went ashtray the whole afternoon. So it is a time to use my watch and place it on my hand and not leaving it on the table! What a horror! I was so angry with myself to do such a childish error, and of course a goal was scored just when I came back and wanted to trade!!! So all in all I made 15 trades with 14 in the green and one in the red, however I feel so lucky and now I am exhausted. Made just above 24% on my stake but could be much worse so at the end to finish with such a great result is truly lucky indeed.

Thunderous Friday

Started the day on the red side, my first trade was a bad one and continued that way all evening. The Bayern M game almost killed me, still learning from my mistakes. So made 6 trades today and lost more than 31% of my stake, with 2 negative and 4 positive trades. Days like this will occur now and again. Tomorrow will miss some of the games as need to help a friend. There should be plenty of action though in the afternoon.

Glorious madness

What a day today! Wanted to finish work as quick as possible and to come back to start trading. Of course when trading is going well I enjoy it immensely,but that is natural feeling i suppose.It was fast and furious at times, breathtaking! Some of the trades were crazy and stupid and some were a gold mine. All in all I made 15 trades with 2 negative and 12 green ones and one neutral. When i am evaluating my trades now I should have acted more fast on my losses and there seems a long way to go until I perfect my trading to the standards required. I hate losses as everyone else does, it is psychological with me I suppose. Made just above 28% back on my stake which by all means is a smashing achievement by my standards.

Meanwhile Mudflaps from Betting for a living bloq is quitting for good. I really was enjoying his short and informative blog. But there you go i wish him all the success in the world.

Emotions

Today made 6 trades and made just above 12% on my stake. So far so good, I am able to control my emotions and not go out of line with some crazy bets. Sometimes looks too easy to be true so lets see how long it will last. I suppose I should put a target and see can I achieve it. But for now I will just continue as it comes.

Temptetion

Made 5 trades today and that resulted in just above 12% back on the stake. I am averaging now more than 10% back on the stake daily which is pretty awesome if it keeps rolling that way. It was very tough though to resist old habits however I managed to stay away somehow for which I am very happy, although I had the intuition that I will be right. For example as soon as the Swiss team scored against Tottenham I knew that they will be another goal, the odds were around 1,08 which will give you 8% back on your stake. However in the long term that has been a loosing strategy for me as I did not learn successfully to withdrawal funds before I lost all the stake. It could be a very profitable system as long as you know/have limit when to withdrawal some money out.

Rain

Today was one of the hottest days over here, so hot had never been at the office I think - and now is raining like crazy!. Made 5 trades today which brought back above 10% on the stake. Berbatov made a great start to the season so lets hope he shows his full potential this season as now he retired from the nacional team he should be more fresh.

Wondering

Today was a busy day, made 16 trades with 15 in the green and one in the red, so total just above 23% back on the stake. There were some crazy moves and i went out of the line with some trades. When everything goes your way is very hard to resist some stupid trades which you know you should not touch at all. So in all this weekend started badly and finished pretty good indeed.

Bad day turned to good its still bad for your health!

What a day today! Had to get up early to go to help a friend with moving stuff from his house. Got absolutely smashed as was running up and down like crazy till lunch time, so missed the early games. Came back for the second half of the Tot -Man City game. Made 13 trades today, with three negative and 10 green trades, coming back with just above 35% in profit on my stake. The wonderful company which I will not mention the name but we all know who is it made the usual cock up today. So in a way today was my 13th Friday which finished very lucky indeed. So the cock ups from the wonderful company should be accumulated in future forecast as they are inevitable!

Friday

Today was 13th Friday and I was daring to trade at all. I did trade though and made 6 trades which resulted with around7,46% back on my stake but I was over cautious and I am happy just to not finish the day with a loss so any green is a good one on a days like that. Very busy at work as usual and tomorrow will be a busy day as need to do some work in the garden then trading if/when time allows.

Cruise

Today there were not many games at all, made only three trades which resulted in just above 13% back on my stake, quality than quantity as someone clever one must said. It becomes very exciting to trade recently so lets see how it goes. The weather here becomes better by the day, so looking forward for some more sunny days. It seems like Man City are keep spending outrageous amount of money on players, watch out that space!

Pretty woman

I had 7 trades today and all of them were in the green, had one scare on the Sweden game but all went well. It is so busy at work at the moment so it is not possible to trade all available games but there you go for you when working and trying to trade as well. Made just above 18% on my stake with average 2,53% on my stake so overall was a good day. Steve G saved the day for England but nothing to worry, England will be force again as long as they keep Don Fabio. That is what I think anyway.

Keep going gorgeous

Made around 17% back on my stake today which I am very happy with, made 5 trades with 4 of them positive. Cant wait for the full season to start everywhere in Europe so from now on weekends will be hectic with average of 15 trades on Saturday and Sundays and 4 on a week day, I am expecting around 50 trades per week with average 1,46% profit on my stake in which one.

Tough Times

It has been very tough recently with moving houses, working and trading. Have not gained much on the trading front, had some setbacks but overall I have gained around 12% on my stake. Really hope this season is the break trough for me personally will aim for £20 per day on average with minimal risk on my principal.
