Using the Gods to beat the odds.

Results For Week 25 – 2023-24

Another profitable week. But again, not quite hitting the big amounts I’d like to be. But I just need to keep plugging away and I’m sure it’ll happen. Here’s a breakdown of how I achieved my £24.64:

There isn’t really a great deal to report to be honest. The Man City Vs Real Madrid game I did think that City would win, and I only stuck £20 on it and took the green when I was happy, hence the £6.92 win as they were great odds to begin with. I then decided to stick the winnings from this onto City to qualify after the game went into extra time. Unfortunately this never came in. So it was pretty much break even which I was happy about. I took a risk but it wasn’t to be. Due to the lack of Premier League games I then decided to look at the FA Cup and the Man City vs Chelsea game. I backed City, who left it late but won in the end. I’d say both the FA Cup game and the Champions League game were more low-stake trial bets than anything serious or part of a strategy, but it’s nice to see them come in all the same.

The Wolves vs Arsenal match was part of my trading plan, and after the scoreline went to 0-1, I decided to move some of my green from that scoreline over to the already covered 0-2 to increase my profit on that scoreline. Fortunately a very late goal ensured that this was the correct thing to do and I came out of that trade £42.14 to the good!

My last trade of the week was a lay of Liverpool, but there were issues. I was placing the lay and I thought it had all gone through with no issues, but it didn’t seem to have done with the game going in-play right at the same moment. When I looked no money seemed to have been placed against Liverpool, so I tried to lay them again, which this time seemed to be successful. It was only when Liverpool had scored that I noticed I had in fact laid Liverpool twice for £20 each time. Not being happy with that much liability, I ditched one of my lays and left the other in-play. But because Liverpool had scored already and were ahead, it just seemed to turn everything into one big mess. Eventually I decided to just see the trade out for a significant loss rather than getting out when I had a good amount of green, which was the initial plan. Hey-ho, lesson learnt for next time.

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

This is the third week on the bounce that I’ve posted a profit which has renewed my confidence levels. Especially when you consider this is over £100, which isn’t to be sniffed at. I’d like to possibly reduced my overall season’s loss of £748 to around the £600 mark, to restore back some of my pride. There’s plenty of football on this week too, so there’s a good opportunity for me to make some decent profit which I’m hopefully going to be able to do. This will probably start on Wednesday for me as Tuesday night’s I’m typically busy so I’ll miss the Arsenal vs Chelsea game. I’ll try and post what I’m going to do on my Twitter/X account just to keep you all posted. Good luck if you are also trading. And may the Lord be with you. Always!
