I had a similar problem in season 1 when I was going for the Championship. The boss told me I had to go to Luxemburg for a week, which clashed with 5 games at the end of the season. (See my blog) I know it's not in the same league as a trip to Australia

Great read

Write-up, rub-down.

As I have mentioned before, I"m currently playing the BBP League games.  Have had a decent run in the first four, but last night things just didn"t go to plan.  Have just read the write-up on the BBP website, this made me laugh.

"At the top, Trevor "TeeDeeEye1" Ingman is remaining as defiant as ever despite a mediocre 37th place finish, maintaining a comfortable lead of 64 points with three Legs remaining. His saving grace was, surely, the disappointing showing from second-place Leigh "ch1paccrual" Wiltshire who could only muster 57th."

Disappointing you say ?    :D

Thinking Time

It"s been a busy week on the work front, but also plenty of time to reflect on a few things.

I"ve been catching up on plenty of reading, a lot poker related.  I came across an interesting blog on Betfair about a guy who has a four year plan to turn £1,000 into £1,000,000 through sports betting.

Through compounding up winnings, he"s aiming for a 5% compounded growth of his initial bankroll per week.  So for example :-


Week     Starting Balance     Winnings     Closing Balance
1 £1000 £50 £1050
2 £1050 £52.50 £1102.50
3 £1102.50 £55.13 £1157.63
4 £1157.63 £57.88 £1215.51
142 £972,055 £48,603 £1,020,659


Seems simple, doesn"t it ?

By placing 1% or 2% bets on a daily basis (Maximum 5% outlay), and grinding, little and often to make a small profit each day to get to your 5% growth each week.

Should be interesting to follow.  It requires patience and control, which goes against a lot of what makes a gambler.  So, is this more if an investment model than a gambling model ?

It"s got me thinking.   ;)

A few negative weeks soon make the whole compounding process moot.

that said its an annuity investment model not a spin up model, which is encouraging if one has the discipline to stick to it and not have to reply on cross-country ski-ing to get a winner

Looks like we"re being sent to Coventry again.   ;)


Great weekend there last year, so let"s hope for the same again, but maybe a bit warmer please, and no frozen pipes meaning no hot water.

Apart from that, same again for a cracking weekend.
