Betfair Account RIP

So that's it for the Betfair account. Totally wiped out. The title of the post last week was the amount of cash left in the Betfair account after Man U's failings on Sunday. In order to ressurect the account, I decided to put the lot on Casey and Karlsson to win their fourball on the first day of the Ryder Cup. This was mainly based on the strength of Casey's amazing performance at last weeks matchplay. The bet was going to plan as the pairing raced to a 3 hole lead by the turn, however the fates conspired against me and the game finished all square. I didn't see any of the action, although after Casey's showing today, I blame that Swedish b*stard Karlsson.
Those that haven't seen me for the last two weeks will be oblivious to the fact I have been attempting to cultivate a goatee. Aiming for a Rino Gattusso-esqe beard, I have failed miserably and have ended up with a Gary Neville. Although not overly superstitious, the arrival of the beard has heralded a losing streak comparable only to Nick Leeson's. For this reason, I decided last night that the razor had to come out before the poker home game and Saturday's football punting.

Amazingly, the shave seems to have invigorated my punting, and I walked off with the £15 No Limit tourney at the home game before rattling in a couple of successful 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 bets on Liverpool and Arsenal. A nice profit was nearly turned into a big winning day as I had 3 or more goals in the Reading game, but for the second time in 7 days Man U lost me money. Oh well, the corner has been turned and as well as being £30 up for the weekend, I have no reason to believe Garcia will not finish top European scorer and net me another £25. And, unlike Gary, I don't have to sport that ridiculous growth any longer.

No night out planned for tonight, and the only booze left in the house is a bottle of £5 Tesco's Cava and the 11% Trappist dirt. Heads or tails....
