I love Unirea Urziceni

Starting BankRoll £140.15  Results +£3.00  Closing bankroll £164.15
I think Champions League newcomers Unirea Urziceni may be my favourite new club and I’m not even sure where they’re from
2 trades tonight in the Champions League, UU v Stuttgart & AZ Alkmaar v Standard Liege.  I was going to trade on the Rangers v Seville [...]

Viva Espana

Starting BankRoll £137.15  Results +£3.00  Closing bankroll £140.15
Sunday saw me trading on the Spanish Primera Liga and I got off to a disastrous start when I placed my initial Betfair trade on the Espanyol v Xerex match.  Espanyol were in the top half of the league with Xerex firmly rooted to the bottom, a home [...]

Dead Cert…

Starting BankRoll £129.88  Results +£7.27  Closing bankroll £137.15
…more like a dead duck, when I put my multiple on yesterday, I believed that Rangers at home was an absolute given.  I should have known better, having had previous experience of picking Celtic & Rangers as bankers on previous coupons.  Rangers had drawn their previous two league [...]

Multiple Madness

I thought I’d try something a little different today so I’ve gone for a multiple bet alongside my regular trading.  I have backed the following footy teams to win on Betfair:

Celtic
Rangers
Tottenham
United
Liverpool

All of them are odds on, so nothing too wild, there are 31 bets in total and I have backed singles, doubles, triples, quads a quintuple.  The [...]

Two Good Trades..

Starting BankRoll £122.82  Results +£7.05  Closing bankroll £129.87
..but it could have been so much better.  Man City v Fulham, I got my green screen before kick-off and positioned my bets so that the majority of the money was on a Man City victory and with City naming the strongest starting 11 from the players currently [...]

Just The One

Starting BankRoll £118.07  Results +£4.75  Closing bankroll £122.82
I only traded the one match tonight, Leeds v Liverpool in the Carling Cup and I wasn’t entirely sure about putting that bet on to be honest as I wasn’t too sure there’d be much scoring.  The one thing that swung it for me though was listening to BBC [...]

Greening Up

The “Betfair Green Screen” is the holy grail for exchange traders, if your market has gone green, you have basically secured a profit no matter what the result.  I managed to get a green screen tonight during the Liverpool & Leeds match tonight, but unfortunately I forgot to take a screenshot – I’ll post one [...]

Another Winning Day

Starting BankRoll £116.17  Results +£1.90  Closing bankroll £118.07
But I’m absolutely gutted, as a Manchester City fan I was honestly expecting City to get beat today as we’re not the finished article just yet, but to succumb to a goal in “Fergie Time” was horrendous and a real kick in the teeth.
It was a superb match, [...]

Hat-trick of results

Starting BankRoll £114.41  Daily Results +£1.76  Closing Bankroll £116.17
Wednesday nights Champions League was a lot better for in-play trading and all 3 of my selections secured me a profit, which was obviously satisfying.  I cocked up a little bit because with the clock ticking, Stuttgart were leading Rangers and Rubin Kazan winning in the Ukraine I devided [...]

Ho Hum

Starting BankRoll £113.55  Results +£0.86  Closing Bankroll £114.41
Bit of a slow start in the Champions League tonight, with all 8 games 0-0 after 30 mins or so, not ideal when you’re looking for in-play trading on Betfair.  I did manage to squeeze out a small profit, but it would have been so much better if [...]
