Well today has been a fine example of the title of the thread for me. Nothing major thankfully and i still managed to make a profit on the day of £0.90. Better than nothing.
Today started badly and was always going to anyway when i had to be up and out for 11.30am having been up all night watching the cricket. On my way out of the door my heart kicked in and i backed Stoke to beat Coventry. They didnt £20 good start.
When i got back from Coventry my head started working and the Barcelona game provided an escape route from the losing day. Backing Barca to win and then laying them off at 1-0 up just after half time meant i could go all green with £20.90 being the minimum i could win on the draw or Lavante. Lavante equalised but better than losing if i had stayed on.
Overall i think today is lesson learnt and mistakes i hopefully wont be repeating in this long journey.

Thats Better
Well not a bad way to end my day having just taken £19.47. Thanks to getting on The over 2.5 goals market and Oldham win, laying them both off just after Oldham scored there first goal.
The only downer on my results on the football tonight being a £22 lost onthe bookings index. I fancied the game getting a little niggly but it didnt. No worrys a profits a profit.
Overall for the day my profit stands at £20.87 and my over bank is now at £297 having started with £100 tuesday.
Great stuff. Off to get some more shut eye before tonights cricket. Whether i have a punt or not is another matter.

Relatively Unscathed
The Davis Cup match between Safin and Nalbandian has just finished and todays £10 profit has been left deminished at £1.40
Still this is better than a loss but my trading seems to be letting me down a little today. Whether its the tiredness from last nights cricket and NFL im not sure but it isnt going to well so im looking for my bankers for tonights games so that i dont have to trade to make money.
Was debating giving it a miss for the rest of the day but studying tonights matches i cant really resist the oppurtunities.
A couple of hours shut eye now before the live game kicks off and i should be fine to make it through the night for tonights cricket.

Good start. Just!
Well after a long night being up watching the cricket and the NFL i have managed to start my day with £10 before i woke up. It dosnt seem like much but trading mistakes left me at one point all red, and then at the point of greening out, £123 on Baltimore and £46 Cincinnati.
As it happened i would have been better to let it run and i would have taken the £46 but having made mistakes earlier in the night i wanted to lock in some guranteed profit and get some shut eye during the lunch session of the ashes.
Also glad i managed to dodge the bullet in terms of the ashes once the same England side was named. I was going to back the Aussies and lay off once they were winning which seemed a pretty good bet at the time. Really glad i missed that as they have drifted as far as 2.8 now where i would have only been backing them around 1.5
Well just got up in time to still see some of the Davis Cup so heres hoping for a bit of profit there ahead of Oldham Kings Lynn tonight.
Good Luck everybody.

A betting free day.
Once again today i havnt been able to have a bet due to circumstances beyond my control. Having been at work all day and only just getting in.
Still i have the cricket to look forward to, a long night ahead, so there will probably be some profit in that for me but im still not sure whether to have a bet or not due to leaving me with a very small bank if i have to leave the money in for any length of time.
Also Baltimore take on Cincinnati tonight in the NFL and this might be worth saving my money to play with on this and wait until tomorrow night for a punt on the cricket.
All of this is going to be in tomorrows profit or loss though and not todays. Ah well it could be worse, i could of lost.

Here Goes Nothing
Ok well i suppose 20 is a little young to be thinking about a career change but i have given this a lot of thought. Ever since i found Betfair i have thought of nothing else other than one day maybe making a living out of my gambling and here i go.
I wont be giving up my job just yet so i guess i am part time for the moment until i begin earning enough money to quit.
I am starting this blog to detail all my wins & losses, highs & lows and hopefully my change in life.
Yesterday was the first day i decided to start this seriously a deposited £100 into my account. I know how to trade on betfair but i know there is no way i am going to earn a living trading with £100 for a long time so am trying to build this up. Last night saw my first win Stoke to beat Cardiff which they did 3-0. My account is already showing a profit of £177.
No bets for me today as i cant watch the games and lay off in play and to many times before i have squandered money on straight win bets.
So here goes, lets see where this can take me.
