Well , it was a varied month in the end, where at one point I was up to just over £70, and then went on a shit losing streak taking me down to just under £40! Thankfully a strong last couple of days helped keep me in the profit making area - albeit really small!
Total Bets: 21
Wins: 11
Losses: 10
Break-evens: 0
Highlights: The last three bets - NCL to clinch the title by winning at half time/full time, Darren Bent to score (and doing so in 7 mins), and Liverpool v Atletico to be less than 2.5 goals.
End of April: £61.99 (profit +£0.99)
Not sure what's going to happen for May, with the footy season coming to a close...

Last few months...
As you may have guess from the lack of posts, I got bored with updating the blog in January after a few bad results. Anyhow, I pretty much ended January even money.
The Incremental (tm) made a come back starting in Feb.
I'm not going to go into exact details, as there is a lot of in-play betting, backing, laying, backing some more, and so forth. This is much better for me, as while I can't always get to the computer (due to cadets for example), if I can avoid losing anything to bring back a little profit, then better for me!
End of January: £20.00 (starting pot)
End of February: £43.56 (profit +£23.56)
Total Bets: 24
Wins: 15
Losses: 6
Break-evens: 3
Highlights: Paul Nicholson beating Merv King (then going on to beat Phil Taylor - not backed), Birmingham beating Wolves, and Toon beating Coventry (starting 1.5 goals down on the asian handicap).
End of March: £61.00 (profit +£17.44)
Total Bets: 30
Wins: 19
Losses: 9
Break-evens: 2
Highlights: Stoke v Spurs +2.5 goals, Coventry v Cardiff +2.5 goals, and Bayarn Munich scoring late on to beat Manyoo, and score the 3rd goal in my +2.5 wager.
Let's hope April is just as successful!

Bet # 20-22
Been a busy boy today, ripping out and partially fitting a new bathroom. Due to this, I haven't had much time to bet.
I lost £5.00 on the Hamilton v Rangers game. It was 3-3 last week, yet today was just shite! Rangers took the lead in the 77th minute, but it was too late for me to recuperate anything, having backed at 3.0
I then tried my luck in one of the Prem games that The Syndicate never backed. Wolves v Wigan. The late first goal meant that I was never going to make a fortune so I hedged to cover any losses and broke even as the game ended 2-0
Finally (for this post) I took +2.5 in the Everton v Man City game, staking my entire £14.45 pot on +2.5 goals @ 2.08, laying at 1.32 when Saha slotted in the second. I stand to break even, or make £10.68 if another goal is scored.
* Additional - I've put £5.00 on +2.5 in Egypt v Mozambique @ 2.40, and will lay as soon as the fist goal goes in. I'm also tempted to take Real Madrid away at Athletico Bilbao, but will await better odds than 1.83. £5.00 will go on that @ 2.00 or greater.

7 minutes... 7 pounds...
It took only 7 minutes for Chievo to get on the scoresheet, and immediately the odds of laying +2.5 dropped to 1.5
Backing the lay has made me the following:
-2.5 goals = £6.77
+2.5 goals = £7.62
Backing the lay has made me the following:
-2.5 goals = £6.77
+2.5 goals = £7.62
Bet # 16
This one is on the Italians Fiorentina v Chievo, again taking +2.5. I'm desperate to get back in the black, so this is an all or nothing encounter...
£14.87 @ 2.28
