Gambling Update

Gambling bug resurfaces.
Realised at the weekend that after my flirtation with gambling earlier in the year, that I hadn't actually placed a bet in months :)
Had nearly lost my original stake, so it just wasn't fun anymore so I just didn't bother.
Anyway the footie seasons back and as that is a specialist subject of mine, I found my password and logged back in for a go on Saturday.
Lack of funds meant finding a cheap way of winning a few quid, so a £1 accumulator was placed on 10 teams results with a possible £510 payout if it came in.
So near yet so far as 9 were correct with only Liverpool letting me down :( after I chose them for a home win of 1/5 on, which is as near to a dead cert as you can get.
Another attempt on Tuesday's Carling cup saw me put another £1 accumulator on 8 teams for a possible £295 win, 7 of the 8 came in but this time West Brom let me down by losing at home to Cardiff? but luckily I backed the bet up with 56 x 5p bets on 5 of the 8 coming in, which returned a nice £44.57 for a £40.77 profit :)
Going to stick to this low cost alternative for tonights games and the weekend, and hopefully one of the big wins will come home (and the missus might get her fridge/freezer).
