Bank back to 10k then?

Where is that warning about gambling just after an operation and being on some knock-out tablets ... anyway still surviving but still in a fair bit of pain ... bear with me as the last 20 hours is a slight blur as to what I have been doing ...
With the losing Simon bets (the extra 2 x £250 bets got matched naturally) ... the bank went back down to £10,500 ... when I update the summary I will use this figure for the 7th Sept despite them not actually playing until the 8th Sept. Feels like I lost a day .... which effectively I did. I played - well lets say - I lost so then did a calculated double chase bet ... post up soon what I have played. |

Got on with Djocko in 2nd set ... trying to time it to get better odds but in the end just jumped on as wanted to go back to bed ... |

I checked teletext I think once or twice during the night .. |

By:
Sweet Jesus... Had Federer of lost you would of been to put it polite in the S**T.
that said chasing seems to have worked.. be careful though.. this is not how you got to 10k+.. I would now go back to laying those long shots. |

Gee these two sets of tablets they have got me on knock me out hard .... woke up this morning and decided to stay in bed and watch this mornings rugby match ... so after reading up a bit played the following ...
2011-09-09 11:20 1425005032 2011-09-09 08:32 Fixtures 09 September New Zealand v Tonga / Tonga +61.5pts / Tonga +61.5pts Back 1.76 524.67 Won 398.88 2011-09-09 11:21 1425007762 2011-09-09 08:34 Fixtures 09 September New Zealand v Tonga / Total Match Points / Under 79.5pts Back 1.55 250.00 Won 137.50 2011-09-09 11:21 1425002712 2011-09-09 08:30 Fixtures 09 September New Zealand v Tonga / Total Match Points / Under 79.5pts Back 1.57 161.33 Won 91.97 The first I played ... tried to work out a reasonable HC start ... as it seemed like the HC mark kept moving so settled on that one while the Match total points simply thought might cover a bit with that line if the HC lost ... Funny enough in the end watched the first 20mins ... thought I was going to go under ... drifted in and out of sleep only to wake up for a 10min period towards the end of the match with Tonga wasting time (thank goodness) .... then slept until a little while ago ... |

I would try reduce the chase bets, otherwise you could be back in hospital having shot yourself in the foot  very good bets on the Rugby, all the best, and good luck |
|
By:
I am not quite sure where you fit in Sir_Bond with my challenge ... did I appoint you guardian while I was in hospital
While it is not ideal what I did ... I am more than happy to do a chase on a Djocko/Fed double .... As for going back to laying long shots ... I don't remember this but hey it has been a tough couple of days so perhaps I missed out something ... |
|
By:
yep I don't plan on betting so big coolhand .... I guess I am all over the place a little bit emotionally so will try and be careful ....
|
|
By:
To be fair to Bond, he does have plenty of personal experience of the perils of chase bets!
|
|
By:
Yeh ... sometimes people word their posts as if they are the ones doing the challenge not me
.... and that somehow my large bet or chase bet or whatever you wish to call it is directly affecting their well-being ....Pity that Simon couldn't take out Isner ... really thought he would  ... |
|
By:
Saying that with the markets like tennis, rugby etc I do get carried away a bit ....

By:
thanks OJ. went okay but still very sore, drugged up with pain killers. Watching the tennis on the internet, the rugby on BBC Wales and struggling to keep my eyes open .... played a couple of rubbish horse lays but did just win a nice lay of Murray 3-0 (when he was a set up) which I thought by the way Isner was looking I was going to get done in ... come on the Dragons in the rugby ...
Saying that I feel terrible and really need to get off soon .... |

coolhand - not replied to my pm yet chap? what's wrong? |
|
By:
I imagine Coolhand is too busy analysing the form (he seems to be pretty good at it!) to bother replying to you Paul. Strange as though it may seem to you, most around here consider you an irrelevance. And a particularly stupid and tiresome irrelevance, at that.

Some ridiculous carefree betting going on ... updated the challenge totals and like I pointed out earlier included the loss on Simon on the operation day 7th September. If it wasn't for the Murray sets lay things could have been worse but then again I would probably have not bet on the stupid rugby overnight .... if anyone saw the Scotland game how piss poor they were ...
