Days 8 & 9

Plenty of stuff to do this weekend so not enough time to update the blog yesterday.

Here's Saturday's results:

Not a lot of action on Saturday as you can see. Two obvious mistakes though: backing my team to win despite knowing we were missing a few important players and it being a cup competition; getting involved with the England - Spain friendly just because everyone else was getting involved too. Still a small profit on the day thanks to the horses.

Sunday however went a lot better. The best day since the start of the blog:

Again only had 10 minutes for the horses, but with plenty of time last night I decided to do some scalping. The only exception was the Huelva - Las Palmas match (I dutched the CS on that one but unfortunately didn't go well). As you can see the scalping went good. The Brazilian matches have always been a gold mine for me personally when scalping. There isn't a lot of liquidity, which means that there are plenty of gaps to be taken advantage of, even at half time; but at the same time, the liquidity is just enough to keep the prices moving and not leave you with your position open for too long.

Today I will probably have some time in the afternoon, so I'll probably scalp the horses again. As for the football yet another poor day, with only the U21 qualifiers looking interesting.

Here's the bank at the end of day 9:
