Up&Down, Down&Up

What a mad weekend I had again. Have no idea what's wrong with weekend trading, most weekends I end up over trading and out of money. And it should be the opposite with so many games available.
Saturday started with 52 and made it up to 91 ( had to reload with 25 due to scary early goal in Man U game) and was doing very well till one of the last games of the night Mallorca-Seville. I decided to try a new system with correct score. Messed it up big time and ended up with 16, was so angry to myself, so I went for all or nothing in exchange poker games and luckily made it up to 73.
So on Sunday started with 73 and made it up to 106 on footy trading, of course I did not stop and was waiting for Real M game. Same stupit errors, decided the away team will not score and backed 2-0 after the first few minutes. Was thinking to green up after Real M score the first goal. But not , they scored 2 in 2 min and I could not react at all! Was on the way to red for a small loss when the away team scored and i was red 40% of my stake. Why on earth I test something which I never done before with 40% of my stake??? Ended up losing most of my stake as usual and had 21 left, so went in the late mexican game all in on over 3,5 at odds 3.05. Again I was lucky and saw 3 goals in the first 30 min then greened up for 35 each way.
Monday I started with 56 and`traded on footy to 81.
So all in all I am up £4 for the last three day of trading....what a waste of time. I am not happy!

Its all in the mind


My third challenge went bust, so its obvious to me now that I am rubbish at that. Will take it easy for now. Lost another £70 over the last two days, when was caught up in Milan game on under 4,5, could greened up but was chasing losses and all ended tragically. Then yesterday reloaded with £20 and was 100% up on my stake when layed Porto after they scored the first goal, did not greened up when Arsenal equalized and again lost everything. Layed Nalbandian for a wonder recovery which never happened.
Conclusion: Chasing sucks (I am sure we all know that but still keep doing it!!!)
Discipline is a virtue..... its all in the mind!

Today reloaded with £30 and made them to £45,23 which is around 50% up on my stake. I notice I do well with small stakes and then as the stake become bigger all goes wild and busted.......its all in the mind!

Profit today: £15,13

Porto - Arsenal, CL first leg

With no time Porto scores, mistake by keeper 1-0 Porto

Layed off Porto at 1,53 Arsenal can score goals I believe. Come on Arsenal, well done Uncle Capmbell header 1-1. Will wait a bit before greening up to see how the game unfolds.

Porto attacking now big time, good save by Fabianski.

37 min game seems to settle now. Porto dangerous though when have the ball. I am being greedy now, will wait a bit more. Bentner not up to Arsenal standards I think, what a dodgy cross!

Half time 1-1, can green up for 100% my stake but will see how second half develops.
I am greedy, what more I want? why not greening up still?
49 min very attacking game now, Penalty for Arsenal???Pheew no!
Shocking!!! 2-1 keeper very useless!!!
Layed some more at, 1.42 what a mess I made for myself.......speechless
53 min Porto are in gear now, please Bentner.......
come on Arsenal save my stupidity....57 min Porto wasting time ....priceless.....
Fabianski 2 Aesenal1 whats wrong with Arsenal keepers?
Arsenal looks poor at the moment
62 min still 2-1 Porto :(
Come on ladies...84 min, push, at least Bentner is off now.
Loss: £18,29

Day 13&14 Bad days running

Its vary hard to write when you made so many errors in the last couple of days. Errors were made which could be easily avoided. Mistakes have not been learned.The last two days were ups and downs. Yesterday my bank was wiped out from Roma game then reloaded with 20 and by end of the day lost again on Porto over 1,5 goals, and the final one was when then went in exchange poker to chase my losses and wiped my bank again, reloaded with 30. Villa game was good as layed correct score when was 2-1 with 10 min to go odds 2.04. Later on backed all my profit for the day on over 4,5 in Barca game and lost.Challenge failed.

Total lost: (£22,34)
