Gambling Week One
So I set up a online betting account with bwin.com today, having decided it was high time I started gambling again. I miss doing the accumulator and living in Switzerland they dont have bookies, so I thought it would be ideal. So far I kind of regret signing up with bwin, the betting options are a little limited and the interface of the site is a bit average but unfortunately they’ve got me for 40 francs now so I guess i’ll have to stay with them until I inevitably lose it all. So for the next following weeks I will be reporting on my average gambling skills.
I decided to do a variety of little bets (as in small amounts), mainly focussing on the Man City v Chelsea game, I bet that Chelsea would win 2-1 and also 4-0 and I also but a little flutter on SWP to score during the game, two francs on each bet. What with Robinho’s sweet free kick and Chelsea basically ending up bossing City none of these babies came through. And although Shaun had a quality game he never looked like scoring I am afraid – that was my “Hollywood”, dream headline bet that I thought could be a possibility. I then also put 2 francs on Derby to beat Sheffield 3-1 and also Sheffield to win (on the recommendations of my mate) and neither sorted me out! By all accounts Derby played pretty well, with Hulse scoring against his old club. They had a penalty decision given and then taken away by the bell end lines man, otherwise maybe I would have got the 3-1 result (ended up 2-1). Bye bye ten francs.
