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.
