Using the Gods to beat the odds.

Results For Week 17 – 2023-24

Well, back to losing it is! But I’m not too bothered about it, as it’s not a massive loss. or certainly not as big a loss as it could have been. I’m quietly happy with how I traded. Here’s the trades that made up my £64.55 loss:

The Copenhagen vs City match I managed to get out for neither a loss nor a gain. I found myself in a good position and I could have took a small profit if I so wished, but I decided to carry on and zero out all liabilities and place a good profit on the AOA correct score result. It wasn’t to be in the end, but I’m quite happy that I could have been in a good profitable position with no risk involved. I’d take that every time in trading.

The Liverpool loss was due to me thinking that they might slip up at Brentford. I thought this would have been a lot trickier than the scoreline suggested, and at odds-on I decided to lay Liverpool.

The biggest loss was for the Man City vs Chelsea match. I did read a stat that said that since the turn of the year, if you bet on lay the draw for the Man City games then you’d be quite profitable. This has happened for the last few seasons or so, so I decided to try this out. Typically the betting gods decided to throw me a curve ball and Man City drew against Chelsea. I’m not too disheartened with the loss, as I believe that from here until the end of the season this method should be profitable. I’ve already done this method in week 16 and week 15, both of which were successful with a £32 win and £40 win respectively. So technically I’m only £28 down for this method so far.

The other notable result was the £74 win for the Everton vs Palace game. There’s not really too much to say about this, apart from the fact that it was a fire and forget trade, of which I traded out of early (so not entirely fire and forget) which cost me around £12 in profit.

Here’s how this weekly loss has effected my overall profit and loss:

I’m now at a £722 loss. Despite this, I’m just going to carry on doing what I’m doing, as I truly believe that my trades should start slowly turning in my favour. I hope, haha! Here is my trading journey so far this season in pictural form:

At least it looks as though the losses are a lot more gentle, and not as steep as they were in the beginning. Hopefully we’ll see an upward turn in both my fortunes and the graph’s trajectory very soon.

I traded tonight, and I’ll probably be trading again tomorrow night, and also at the weekend. If you are too then I wish you all the best of luck. And may the Lord be with you. As ever always.
