Well, it seems as though I might be back on track, not just with posting blogs but also with actually posting some profit!!! Yes, I actually managed to post a profit this week of £124. The thing is, this could have been a lot, lot more, but I’ll go into why this wasn’t to be the case later on in the blog. I’m not even 100% sure that the fix I put in for the issue I discovered last week was the main reason for the change in fortune, I just happened to have had a good week. So here a small snapshot of some of my results from week 9:

There’s a couple of good results that can be seen from the screenshot above, especially the Atletico Madrid vs Mallorca trade. For this game I decided to shift the profit I was making from the 1-0 correct scoreline onto the 2-0 correct scoreline. I was keeping my eye on this match, and I did think I’d blown it as it seemed that the game was heading for a 1-0 result, but thankfully Atletico managed to grab a second goal in added on time. I was disappointed with the Everton result as I doubled up on this game, but I just didn’t expect them to come out of the blocks the way they did. The New Manager Bounce well and truly kicking in.

On Sunday I was at an event with a family member, so I didn’t have a massive amount of time to concentrate on the trading, so I only managed to stick a few trades on. I did take my laptop out with me, but I felt a tad rude getting it out in-front of everyone and ignoring them for a few minutes every half an hour. So when I looked back on the trades I missed out on, I was a tad frustrated that I did miss out on a fair bit of profit. Yes I would have had a few losers in amongst them, but overall I would have been up. Disappointing, and more’s the reason for me to invest some time and effort into learning about automating my trades so I don’t miss out on trading opportunities. Anyway, here’s how week 9’s profit compared to the previous weekly trades, and how it’s contributed to my journey so far:

The good thing is that at least I’ve managed to stop the rot for this week at least. I’m made up with the profit for this week, but I envisage week 10 will be a hard week as it’s FA Cup weekend so there won’t be as many games to trade. The Premier League is basically a wipe-out, and there’s a limited schedule for the Championship. Hey-ho! Although I’m seeing this as a little bit of a blessing to come away from trading a little after the recent losses, a chance to relieve the stress a little. I will still be trading this weekend, just not as much with the reduced schedule. If you are trading yourself I wish you the best of luck. And may the Lord be with you. Always!
