Big Mac and Fries

Today's P&L: £69.73
Bank: £129.73

Crazy day!
Managed to trade the Liverpool game today. I could only stay in for the first 15 minutes as i had to dash to McDonalds with the misses!! So only manged to make £5, using £5 stakes on 0-0, 1-0, 0-1. However i got back in time for the last 15 minutes. Saw it was still 0-0, watched the game for 5 minutes and personally couldn't see any goals going in. So i backed the draw around the 1.2/1.3 mark. And rode it out until the 90th. Picking up another £10.
Had a good day on the horse's as well. Enjoyed trading the Listowel races as i lived there for a short while back in the day. Thought i would trade them in-running as they were all long races/hurdles. Managed a good few trades in-running on the Listowel races, my plan was to get in and out as quick as i could. Had a good day on the horse's in all.
Crazy when i think about it, made a 116% profit on my starting bank.

The golf!! I managed to get £25 green across the field and then i think i got a bit greedy. Hate the delayed pictures by the way on Sky as it's in the US. Could tell what had happened before it did. I backed Paul Casey on the 17th trying to get out for a quick few ticks profit and then blooming Dustin Johnson only went and whacked in a Birdie and i only saw what had happened around 2minutes later when sky showed it. Thankfully managed to come out with a 74p profit in the end! But as you can imagine it was a kick in the teeth.

Also tried trading on the F1 this morning, was my first go at it. Really liked trading it, was a completely different feel from any other market I've traded. Managed to green the field for £20, but then Alonso went and had a rapid pit stop and i got caught backing Button. Came out with a £8 loss but it was a lesson learned!! Can definitely see some profit coming from F1 in the near future.

Still got to learn the cricket though! Haven't got round to that yet.

Off into London tomorrow to see the sister. So not much trading if any, but may make a cheeky trip to the Empire Casino :D. Shall see.

P.s. New rule! Make sure the misses is busy if she is about whilst your trading. As she may try to distract you. You can do this by dirtying dishes for her to clean? Perhaps roll in some mud to dirty some clothes? Or even just the simple lock her in the closet technique (i joke i ain't no Fritzel!)
