December 11th

Quiet day yesterday, hardly any in play football matches although the game that my app got involved in meant a £50 loss for it on the day. Fifth losing day in a row for it but still in profit for the month (just!). Not quite as bad as the run JP is on, 17k down in 5 weeks! Still almost 40k up for the year though so not quite on the breadline just yet,it just goes to show you what sort of bank you need to be using and how bad runs come along. If you'd joined some of his services a couple of months or so ago you'd of long since left, as I did with PunterProfits! Looks like a wise move to get out when I did, they've hit an awful run and I'm glad I'm not in it.

Losing day as well for the Powerstat selection, Sochaux went on Toulouse (do you see what I did there...?) 2-0. Should be a load of selections for this weekend, maybe even some tonight, I'll post them when I have them.

Finally hit a winning day for the XKR Auto app as well, just 7 points so a long way to go yet but it's good to finally get a winning day under my belt.

December 10th

Nasty day yesterday for the XKR Auto app, lost 36 points, not good. I was going to switch it to purely data logging mode but I've had a change of heart. After reading other blogs I can see why it's losing and why it will start winning again at some point, lets just hope its today and that it's a big winning day :o) Lets keep the faith.

Small losing day as well yesterday for the in play football app of £3, I can live with that and we're still in profit for the month despite 4 losing days on the trot.

We have a Powerstat prediction for tonight:
Away Win predicted Toulouse v Sochaux. Back Sochaux at odds in excess of 5.0

I've tidied up a few links on the right and removed a few. As always, if there's any missing then let me know, always good to keep the blog links fresh.

December 9th

The fine line of betting continues. I happened to have Sky Sports News on for a few mins yesterday evening and noticed them showing a replay of the last race at Fontwell, I knew I was on Noun De La Thinte and watched the closing stages as it won in a photo, that win hauled the XKR Auto app into a tiny profit of less than a point on the day. I've gone over and over all the logs it's producing and no matter what filters and methods I apply to it, the way it's running at the moment is still the most profitable and also the most simple, simple is good :o) So it's just a case of leaving it running and see where we go with it.

My other fine line yesterday involved Apoel's late equaliser at Stamford Bridge a few mins from time, that goal caused a swing of £255 and turned a £207 win into a £47 loss, fine lines indeed. The in play football app ended down £144 on the day because of that and was the third losing day on the trot. Still in profit for the month and there's plenty of time left yet this month to start making a bit of money with it. To be fair, I don't really even bat an eyelid now when it's bets win or lose, it makes money over time and it won't win every day/week or even month.

Powerstats also had a losing night, no late dramas though, just a simple 1-0 loss. Nothing for tonight but we do have one for tomorrow night which I'll post tomorrow.

Quick plug as well for Geekstoy. I haven't downloaded it yet but apparently it's a freebie trading application for Betfair enabling fast one click bet placements via a ladder interface with a whole host of utilities and features, amazing that something like this is free!
There's a video of it in action at YouTube here.

December 8th Update I

Quick post with a powerstat prediction for tonight:

Away Win predicted Dumbarton v Peterhead. Back Peterhead at odds in excess of 2.8

December 8th

A fine line sometimes this punting lark. Last night, a goal two minutes from time for Sporting Lisbon caused a swing of £160 for me and increased the in play football app loss from £30 to £86, if that hadn't happended then I would of recorded a profit of £130 on the day, a fine line indeed.

Another miserable day as well for the XKR Auto app with a loss of £34. Today is the last day for me with it making actual bets, if it records another loss then I'll go back to monitoring the data. Reading other blogs I think there are others in the same boat, I'm just less sure of the methods I'm using and therefore need to be careful about the losses it's racking up. I've been going over all the logs for the last 6 or so weeks trying to find other methods, it's a fine line (theres those words again...!) between finding a consistent pattern and backfitting it to make a pattern!

There's plenty of league action this week so there might well be a powerstat or two, will post them as soon as I have them.

December 7th

What a day for the Powerstats yesterday, finally hit a decent day with 3 of 4 selections coming in, all at nice prices as well. Pick of the bunch were Lille, 1-3 down at home with 30ish mins left, they won 4-3 with a winner in the 90th min, never in doubt ;o) After a poor Saturday it only brought things back to roughly level though with an 8 point loss over the course of the weekend.

The XKR auto app has had a miserable few days, constantly losing about 10 points a day. Currently down 44 points on the month so I'm really losing a bit of faith in it. Will leave it for now, possibly look at just going back to collecting the data rather than making actual bets, a good winning day might change all that though :o) Interesting that it's poor run also ties in with JP's poor current run, I think the two might well be connected.

The in play football app had a losing day yesterday, down £121 on the day, still £301 up for the month so happy enough with it's permformance this month.

Still suffering with this cold/flu thing. Went to the docs last week, he said I had bacon flu, "bacon flu ? " I asked, "Yeah, it was swine flu but we cured it" he replied. It's the way I tell 'em.
