1st November: Avoid Betfair trading when tired and just back from holiday: -5.1pts

I arrived back from the Austria, the home of Classical music after a wonderful break in a beautiful country.


Early 2 AM start, flights and a drive home from the airport plus a beer later in the evening meant I should have avoided the markets as I was quite mentally exhausted. But I didn't.


I was then taught a classical lesson in the unforgiving Betfair markets with a 5.1pt loss, not a single goal in any of my picks


The picks were fine, it was just one of those days when I needed to be super alert and sharp, and I wasn't. It would have been a losing day but perhaps slightly less so given I lost concentration more than a few times

Either way, what a wonderful break in Austria, particularly the Carintihian region and Vienna.


Tomorrow is a busy Saturday and I will be rested and ready to rumble


Round 3 status:


  • +3pts (shows abit lower on the P&L due to the small automated bets which I will likely can before the end of round 2 - not really going anywhere)

  • 52 markets traded
