“How low can you go, how low can you go…..”? Well, it turns out lower than the last 9 weeks! It’s disappointing to be experiencing another loss, but I’m not getting too edgy just yet. I can’t see it carrying on for much longer. In fact, it won’t carry on for much longer. I’m going to make sure it doesn’t. We’re going to be riding those green seas soon enough! Here’s a breakdown of my £122 loss for week 10:

As you can see, there are a couple of trades that I never traded out of and stayed in (the two £90 trades, which were made up of 3 x £30 trades). The full loss was experienced for both of these selections. I did however manage to get out of one of the trades (the Luton vs Chelsea game), which thankfully meant me not adding another £30 to my loss total. As mentioned in my “In-Play Update” blog post, my trades came in for the City match but not for the Villa game, when I did think it would be the other way around. I maybe should have cut some of my losses for the Villa game, but decided not too due to me being confident in my picks. Hey-ho! It’s the Liverpool vs Newcastle match that really annoyed me. I got the correct score prediction correct (AOH), it’s just that I decided to get involved in the outright match outcome too. When Newcastle went behind for the second time I thought they might have come back into it and bagged an equaliser, so I decided to lay Liverpool, but it wasn’t to be. Serves me right I suppose for getting involved in a market I don’t touch that often. Hopefully the £34.14 it cost me will teach me a valuable lesson.

So how does this effect my current P&L figure:

It’s not good reading, and it should have been a lot less had I been a bit more proactive and also by not getting involved in markets I don’t normally touch. Here’s a the graphical representation of my journey so far:

So the graph plunges ever deeper. But I’m determined to get it on an upward swing by the end of the month. Well I say that, and I’ve mentioned it in another blog post that I’m hoping to get above zero before the end of the month, but what I didn’t realise was that there’s a week’s break in the Premier league and there’s the weekend of FA Cup matches (I don’t typically bet on the FA Cup games). So I possibly won’t be getting my head above the water any time before the end of January, but hopefully not long after.

Right, that’s it for now. I hope you all have a good weekend if you’re trading, I know I need as much luck as I can get. And may the Lord be with you…always!
