Managed another less than stellar performance on this yesterday.
As you've probably guessed G-Mac is my only Red, and what a Red, close to three figures.
Everyone I got on side moved in the wrong direction yesterday apart from Fasth (regular readers will know of my history with this man) and the only one I lay looks like he is playing a different course.
I could have a proper wedge on G-Mac to get me out of trouble, but to be honest that is not the Sports Punter way and 1.9x with 36 holes to play on a difficult course with the possibility of some weather and only a 2 shot lead. No thanks. I'll take my chances.
Could be a long day today..................

Valderrama Masters
Well I did lump on Kaymer in the end, but somehow by the end of the day he is now my biggest loser (and boy there are a few of them)
Might do a bit of tinkering before they tee off this morning, but not looking great at the moment to be honest.
Big Mig, Parry, James Kingston (Don't ask) or Rock going low this morning would help.......... I know I am not holding my breath either.

Quick One
Just a quick update as not much time.
Things back on track for October at the moment, about £150 in front so we may yet get those September losses back yet............
Poker going Ok, nothing sensational, but think I may be getting a bit of new Account Luck over at Full Tilt which is nice.
Had a half decent result on Sunday on Betfair finishing Third for $85 or so in a small tourney too.
Thinking about having a bit of a lump on Martin Kaymer in the Golf tomorrow, not sure yet, but probably will.
Back soon with a full update and obviously on Sunday for the Month's P&L.

Rooney and the Abyss
Well Rooney decides he is going to stay and all is happy in the world again, or is it?
I can't help feeling this is going to be the rod that broke the camel's back in the world of Football.
Already Ashley Young comes out and announces he is not signing a new contract until the Summer, is this the way it is going to be forward? Absolutely no loyalty.
Like him or loathe him (as I do) Alex Ferguson has always been someone not to be messed with, no one player has ever been bgger than the club - Not any more apparently. What will the Old Trafford Dressing Room be like now? We know Evra has got a track record and what about Rio? Is he going to be happy?
Must admit I have had a gut full of Football now. I can't get out of my mind Rooney leaving the pitch to a chorus of boos after another abject performance at the World Cup and swearing at the camera demanding Loyalty from the Fans - Maybe he just doesn't understand what the word means? He's obviously not the sharpest Tool in the box.
Phoned Sky in the week to cancel as I don't want to gve these Prima Donnas another penny. However they offered me 6 months at half price, so decided my principles should be limited to the Blog lol.

My new Hero............
Ian Holloway, take a bow son.

Even though it's Man United and I struggle to feel sorry for them, is he right or is he right?

Where have I been?
Well, not updated for a while so thought I would put something on here to explain why.
Opened a Full Tilt Poker Account last week. Found RUSH Poker. Not to put too finer point on it I am addicted, not very good at it yet, but ADDICTED!
If you haven't tried it yet give it a go. I managed to find a deal to open the Account through Cardrunners, which gives 3 months free Cardrunners along with Hold Em Manager for free and 27% Rakeback. Not a bad deal all told. Got to Rake a few quid first obviously, but looks good so far.
Lost a few quid on the Sports Betting over the weekend - Nothing new there I hear you cry - and probably looking at a loss for October to go with my loss for September now...........
Won $100 from Betfair in one of their Giveaway Tournaments which has helped though.
On to Wayne Rooney. Is it just me who is laughing my head off here? For Years Man United have been tapping up players (Berbatov anyone?) but now Rooney wants out and the boot is on the other foot they are crestfallen. Reckon we could be seeing the end of an era shortly with old Red Nose Fergie........ Quite tempted to lay them in the Top 4 Premiership market as it goes.
Liverpool finally get new Owners - Will they be any better than the last shower? Only time will tell. If Torres doesn't get some confidence from somewhere, could the unthinkable happen and they get relegated? God Forbid.
Is the Premiership Bubble about to burst? It can only be a good thing IMO if the wages started tumbling and we got back to some sort of reality.
Anyway I need to get some work done, before getting another session of Rush Poker in later along with trying to resuce the Sports Betting for the month.
Hope you are all winning loads (If you are just bear in mind it is probably my money)

Oh Well...........
Well India won the Cricket really comfortably as it turned out. Well done to them. My concerns over the Aussie Bowling attack were realised. Roll on the Ashes.
I managed to turn a good position in to a losing one like a Numpty, primarily by backing my judgement that the Aussies would prevail. Basically I went for the big win on them and left a £7 red on India. Never mind no real harm done.
As to the Football last night, what a nightmare. Wasn't even going to watch it, because to be honest I am getting bored of it.
But no, what do I do? Decide to switch on for the Second Half. Obviously can't watch it without a bet so layed 0-0 at half time. The rest as they say is history.
Lost both $50 Poker tickets last night too, so my Sharkscope Graph looks like it has fallen off a cliff. Lucky for me I didn't pay for the tickets eh...........
Checked earlier and I am still about £100 up for the month so it's not all bad and I can't really find much to chase on tonight so it looks like it will be Poker instead.
BTW Mr John Tuohy aka The Gambler, I have tried ringing you twice now, Have you tried turning your Mobile on? ;)

Cricket Update
Done a bit of Trading during this morning's action. Not much as didn't really have time.
Anyway the upshot is I am now level the draw with the largest Green on Australia, who to be honest I quite fancy from here. With a decent Bowling Attack I'd fancy them even more.
Should be an interesting day tomorrow.
Got a couple of $50 STT Tickets in my Account so am going to use them tonight to see if we can get at least a cash to boost the bank a bit.
It'll ruin my stats on Sharkscope if I don't win as they will assume I am paying for the buy in, but who cares, it'll give me another target to aim for to get back to break even.
As an aside I am going to opening a PokerStars Account in the next couple of days if any one out there is an affiliate and fancies sharing the bounty?

India v Australia 2nd Test
Well what started out as a smallish back of the Aussies has turned in to a bit of largish Punt.
I have laid a chunk of the draw at 1.3x which may not be the wisest move I have made, but there you go.
Just think the game has moved on quite quickly and tomorrow I can't see the Draw price getting much shorter regardless of what happens.
The Aussies want to win this game and I think they do what they need to do to achieve it, even if it costs them the Match.
Hmmmm, things were going well too.

Long Time no Post
Well, what's been going on in the land of Sports Punter? Not a lot to be honest.
Belated Cogratulations to Europe for winning back the Ryder Cup. Really enjoyed the Monday Singles even though they cost me a few quid. I backed Rory, Lee and Kaymer so dropped a few quid there.
Had a good week on the Horses so far though, a couple of Hundred in front. Apart form that though nothing has been worthy of a Punt for me.
Been winning a few Tickets on the Poker, so should be playing a few decent Tourneys over the next week or so. A big cash someone along the line would be nice.
I'll update the P&L for October when I get today out of the way.
I've laid Kaymer and Parry in the Alfred Dunhill so far, but will trade this later on.
God I hate the International Break Football Weekends.
Oh and just lastly as some of you probably know I follow Liverpool, what the fook is going on there at the moment?

Gutted
Made a deal with the better half, that I'd do all the family stuff yesterday if I could have today in front of the box to watch the Golf.
Missed a full day's play for a potential washout.
Looks like she checked the Weather Forecast better than I did...................
Right then kids, let's get the Wii out.

September Review
Poor month in all honesty.
Done a chunk on the Sports Betting (Just for a change)
Poker has been better but again, I'm not really making much progress.
New month and a new start though so not all bad.
Day off today to watch the Ryder Cup (Hopefully, if they get started again soon).
Laid Woods/Stricker and backed Donald/Pod so far, but this will change as and when they get started.
Come On EUROPE!
