Layed them at 9's in the Euros for a bit

a very good bet that. i layed at 11s before the italy game. i decided we couldn't possibly win it when we played sweden and luckily turned the game around in the groups. and then having to get past spain at some stage!:happy:]

that would be horrendous lol

I will prob lay them in the world cup, in the world the likes of spain and germany are just a class above, even argentina are better than england IMO.  every tournament the pressure on england is insane, our media look inwards for their analysis IE what each member of the team should do, wereas I find other coutries look outwards IE talk about other teams and players to watch. I know england are proffesionals but with pressure to perform it will not usually work well!

mind you its often a good ploy to back us at admittedly poor odds pre tourney, and when we get through the group stage as we do...then the over reaction and hype will see the odds unrealistically slashed

yup

whatever team is put out is questioned as to wether or not that is the best team, I mean the key to a team is stability and confidence, when the players question the manager, he questions himself and his team its just not a good foundation. Need a manger with balls to come out and say what he thinks, stick by his guns and then see if hes right keep him, if hes wrong get rid.

conceding on average only around 3.45 goals per game, not too shabby compared to a few years ago

they seem to have a few decent games and then fall apart unexpectedly .

remember the time they almost grabbed a draw from the RoI (and Belgium) , then in the next breath got totally pasted 10-0 by Poland

Are you sure now that guys like Messi are better than English players?

MrLay, 

If you would be interested in a private wager on England v Argentina at the next World Cup I am quite happy to stake my £550 versus you're £500 draw no bet if you are interested?(and I am happy to negotiate slightly).

Folks,

  I have no intention of hijacking this good thread.  If anyone wishes to take on my bet of £550 Argentina v £500 England in an individual match at the next World Cup that would be great. I am prepared to haggle slightly on the price.

Investor are you not telling us about your wins now.?  Unlucky

17 k!! think of all the stuff you can  buy with that!!!!!

you can buy a fair bit with the £987.65 too.

ever considered though that 17k to him is like 17 quid to us?

Excellent work Smithy, sounds like your still raking it in. A great full time job and a football trading wizard on here, you'll be able to buy a house/flat outright, sod a deposit, ha! Well done mate. Hope the injury is coming along ok too.

Tough times still hey Coach, your not alone though, i'm struggling at the moment! I had my worst month in Feb since going full time on here in Feb 2012. Not posted my p & l yet but like Jan, it was going so well (steady consistent profits) then i get the urge to stop the trading and just have a big bet to buy some money and this invaribly loses and i then chase and lose again. So i take some time out, come back and trade for another stream of consistent, small, profits but in the back of my mind, i still cant let go of the 'big' money i lost previously and so the cycle repeats! This resulted in a disaster of a Feb.

As i posted previously, my profit for feb 2012 - jan 2013 was just shy of 10k and so when i saw what i lost in feb 2013, i was a bit sick as i'd let a lot of good money and hard work go down the drain! But, i'm trying to keep positive, i'm still in ok shape all things considered, just need to get back to basics and cut out the big bets (relative to my bank) and the chasing and get myself back on track, trading for small amounts, which soon add up, as they did in the previous 12 months and hopefully i'll be ok .

Well done all other winning posters and heads up those that have lost a few quid, theres always another day to make it back!!! Take it on the chin like the investor and bounce back!!!

Its taught me (as if i don't already know!!) gamble and you lose, chase and you lose some more. Trade though and you 'can' win.
Stupid bets, stupid stakes, painful results!!!!

Work to do for the rest of March and April......
